Can anyone help me out? I have a VZ ls1 with fly by wire throttle body and have just purchased a fast manifold. I am looking into throttle body options for it but can't find a t/b to match the manifold, they all seem to be cable driven. Are there fbw t/b to suit VZ/fast combination?

I'm still searching ....

We have done a LS3 FBW TB conversion with good results , but that used an adaptor box from Sideshow performance

you can use an
LS2 throttle 90mm
nick williams 102mm
throttle bodies Australia used to do a 92mm

But as APS luis said you'll need an adapter like the sideshow performance one

I had the same situation. Whatever you buy will need a adapter/patch lead.

Thanks everyone for the help. Is there anywhere in Australia who stock nick Williams t/b? How long would shipping usually take from the US?

Depends on where you buy from in america and who you ship it with, i think average is probably about 8days if all goes well.

Ok I think i have decided on going the Nick Williams 102 throttle body from here - 88-NW102-EL

On this page they have an adaptor (the bottom item) would this be the same as the one from texas speed and will work with my ls1?

I got a quote back from sideshow performance about there adaptor and they wanted $500 for it. Is that right??? Sounds a bit rich for some wiring?

The wiring from thunder racing below (bottom item) will that make this T/B work with my LS1 wiring?

That wiring harness won't work on VZ 8pin throttle connectors - I wouldn't use anything other than the sideshow one which is the same as this http://www.torquerush.com/

a bit cheaper from them in canada $280 posted I think!!
