Great video! To add Glenns auto performance makes an absolutely beautiful and affordable drive by cable throttle linkage adapter for the tbss manifold. Highly rec.

Do more Silverado upgrades please great video by the way keep it up

Excellent little video

Literally used that exact bracket and throttle body on my swap. (2001 Silverado 1500 with an LQ4/80E swap) The only issue I encountered was that my cruise cable has too much slack. I solved it by crimping a lead fishing weight on the cable. For the fuel line, I used a C5 Corvette fuel tank transfer hose with the C5 fuel filter. It is plug and play, looks factory, and keeps the fuel lines from being up against the firewall. I am 4 years and about 25K miles on intake swap with no issues.

I got a 2006 Canyon that originally came with a Returnless Fuel system So running a Returnless system is a breeze. Gotta love when the regulator is built mechanically in the fuel pump. I also have a NNBS intake and it has a hard nipple for the PCV.

Yes I have been working on putting a 5.3 into a 94 Silverado. I cut the windshield side of the dash to fit and took an inch out of it to bring the door sides of the dash in closer.so I have an 02 dash in the 94 I'm currently removing the cab harness and fuse panels to put inside. I have the power mirrors installed. The dash is also wider so I'm using some billet aluminum for door panells. My question is what all will it take to make the instrument cluster work. I have everything from the donor truck... Also I'm running a 350 turbo behind the 5.3 that's built. Wanting to keep fuel injection and put two small turbos with can and tune it. What would I need for 3.73 gears 275x60/15 drag radials to get in 6s 1/8 mile and be streetable.?????

Thank You ! Tech To Know

2006 Silverado 1500 with the LQ9. Looking for a factory crate replacement if at all possible. Does this come in a short block only setup, or next question, I would think the cathedral style port heads will bolt up to this block the same as the original. Really what I want is a factory crate LQ9 replacement. Great videos, thank you all very much.

Great info! Where does the feed tube come from that hooks to top of 92mm TB?

Like the info I want to put a 09 5.3 intake and I have everything however what about using the newer 08 injectors do I need a special harness or pigtails again

What problem did you have using the factory o ring from the newer style map on the earlier map sensor? I used this o ring on my swap and had no issues yet and have put over 20000 miles on it so far. I know I had to grid on the map sensor retainer.

NO=ow that was a good video and Im not easily impressed. Straight to the the points, hit all pros and cons. Explained everything good even for the less knowledge engine people. Toss in a few plugs for parts and done. Very nice!!!

I broke mine plug that's where I got leak thank you

I am working with the intake manifold from an LFA, it appears to be the same as the TBSS or "NNBS" and haven't found anything to suggest that it is a different part. It seems to have a second map sensor though, it is on the side right behind the throttle body. Any ideas on what it really is? Or any nail in the coffin against using this LFA manifold altogether?

I have trailblazer intake and xlink I always throw p1516 code reduced power. Went back to stock throttle and still does it not as much. Could I have 2 bad throttle bodies. I really like performance with ls2 throttle

When you speak about doing the custom tuning to adapt all of the signals between the six and eight pin plugs will the truck still be drivable? My tuner is a little ways away just wondering if I'm going to have to plan to trailer it there or if there will be damage done if I drive it.

Hello i have a 03 5.3 silverado im getting the crate engine ls364/450 and im gona mount the ls3 intake manifold on it i already bought ev1 to ev6 fuel injector adapters and rn im looking for the x link but i dont know if i need a gold or silver and also i need help with the MAP sensor how would i go about that

What about the Dorman Chevy Avalanche part # 615-183 intake onto a 2002 5.3? I really like the looks of those stock intakes, Could I just buy the Cathedral port to square port adapter? And convert from return to returnless and convert to DBC?

What do we do for the radiator hoses that run under throttle body? I have the new one and it doesn’t have the connections

Were did you get the throttle cable bracket and does it have provision for cruise control?

Is 2011 GMC Sierra 5.3 intake manifold is the same as a trailblazer SS intake manifold

Plus I have the two fuel lines on my 03 classic weird hey not the single fuel line

Swapping a 5.3 in a 1995 S10 that came with a 2.2.. Will I have hood clearance issues with the SS Trailblazer intake ? Also considering a F.A.S.T intake , but don't know which one will work so hood clearance won't be an issue. Donner truck engine is a 2006 Yukon along with it's 4L60E transmission.

I have a 2002 yukon denali 6.0. And my yukon came with dbw throttle body not cable driven. And I have tbss intake on it. I was told that I need a silver blade TB and the xlink adapter won't work. Because the 2002 use a different TB ,tac module ,pedal assembly and pcm calibration . And that a straight adapter harnesses should be good enough. Have you run into any thing like this. Or may be is something you guys can look into and see what I can do to use a 90mm or 92mm on yukon.

What about the other port on other valve cover

I like torque and if I gain some horse-ponies so be it. A daily driver is not going to see 6k or 7k RPM everyday or perhaps ever. Has anyone tried to more with the truck intake other than shave it to look pretty. Has anyone cut the cone out of the center near the Throttle Body that forces air to the center first, before this air is dispersed front and rear? Some clean up and porting can be done to match the ports better and have some positive results. Now aftermarket intakes do away with this centering tube. Working on V6 imports, some incorporate a vacuum valve to change from long air stacking to short air flow at 3,200 RPM’s. With that, the budget minded guy/gal who spent their retirement putting 3-4 kids thru college. As an ASE master tech since 1978, I’ve seen Nissan place an intake gasket with a counter-clockwise triangle in the port to increase low pressure rotation to help complete combustion burning and performance. Both may have benefits as we both know from the 50’s how air in motion, stacks up behind a closed intake, but a straight line is much better for high RPM. I saw this on the highly modified Corvette with carbon fiber bell shaped ends and a throttle valve inside each carbon fiber intake tube. They designed it to synchronized with 4 left and then to 4 right. Cable driven at one location of course, but a red-line starting at 9k on the dashboards tach. I find it interesting of what people & engineers come up with. Like the famous “Smokey Yunick”, velocity stacks, volumetric efficiency, etc., a tough B-17 bomber pilot who in the 50’s stirred the imagination of thousands of back yard mechanics, only to have son’s who build engines with more horse-ponies than the other guy who gathered pink slips...from car owners. Truck intakes maybe ugly, but still have a place in the “LS” world. Also 2003 utilities had DBW instead of cable but small & 3 bolt. Enjoy learning!!!

Hi, thanks for this super informative video. I'm in the process of swapping a TBSS / NNBS intake manifold on my 04 Tahoe Z71 ( flex fuel equipped with Z on 8th digit of the VIN# ), i got the manifold with fuel rails already but still need to buy the injectors and throttle body so i have few questions for you, if you don't mind, what's the price on your X-Link harness and where i can buy it? also will your X-Link harness work with an after market throttle bodies too or only OEM ones?? what's the larger diameter throttle i can use? and last but not least since i now have flex fuel system do i have to buy the injector adapters to be able to use the bigger TBSS injectors or must use my current ones?? Thank you very much in advance

You can use the flex fuel injectors on your truck as they will fit those rails. 92mm is the biggest you can go on the TBSS/NBSS intake. And since the X-link only works with OEM or NW throttle bodies, using the stock 07-13 gold blade throttle body is what you will need with a gold blade X-link.

Swap the fuel rail over, you can use the original injectors. Be sure not to pinch/cut the o-rings on the injectors. The TBSS injectors can be used but you have to either change connectors or use an adapter plug (Casper's electronics has some of these components). You will also have to change your injector tables to the TBSS injectors while making changes to your tune.
