I saw that Kurgan had posted a group buy a while ago to do a custom TB intake elbow and I'm assuming that's not valid anymore. I never got one with my motor is the reason I'm looking now.

Therefore, where can I get a stock elbow? As far as I'm concerned, it can be scratched, bent, broken, whatever, so long as I can still attach it properly to the TB and get a good seal. I will be cutting off most of the neck anyhow and welding on my own 3" piping to it. I need to have it by next friday, or June 14th or I'll be forced to have a custom one fab'd for me. Thanks.

 

PM Kurgan.. you could probably buy his stock one.. or his broken one

Or email him kurgan@darkcloud.org

The Greddy FD intake elbow will fit if you weld on 2 tabs for the bolt holes.

 

Also note that the 13B Cosmo elbow will fit.

 

if you use the 13b TB the Greddy elbow will fit also

 

the opening and gasket are the same between 20b, 13b cosmo, and the fd motors. the only difference is the bolt pattern and the fd has a sharper curve, you need to move/turn backwards the oil filler pipe. or you could put an fd throttle body on too

Can't use another TB because I have to use the stock TPS for my TEC I so that limits my options apparently to only the Cosmo TB's and intake castings. Thanks, I will email Kurgan and hopefully he didn't throw his old one away yet!

 

Can't you just use a standard GM TPS and make a bracket?

 

heres the big secret
the only thing different about the 2 tps's is the connector, they both work the same have the same pinouts and even wire colors.

Yay! I just happen to have 2 extra FD intake manifolds. I had 3 but...one made it onto my roommate's FC couple weeks ago. I will go look how it fits tomorrow morning.

 

Spoke with Kurgan and I'm getting his "new" elbow that he bought to replace the broken one.

I'm sure it's possible to use the GM TPS with a fab'd bracket but why spend extra money on something if you don't need to? I don't want to pay shop labor to create something from scratch when what I have isn't broken. If my stock TPS is bad for some reason or if it breaks in the future...then that's what I'll most likely do for cost at that point. Plus, I've already done the TB mod and gutted most of the TB intake ribbing thereby opening it up. We'll see how it works for now. Thanks for the suggestions everyone
