Switching to Drive by Cable throttle body

2006whitesti · 10-30-2009, 05:25 PM

Just wondering if this is possible on an 06? There just is not a big enough throttle body to not be a restriction. If anyone could point me in the right direction that would be great. Will be running AEM EMS.

Thanks in advance,
Dustin

With a stand alone it should not be a problem. Just the mechanical stuff and then the TPS.

Only thing you are messing with is the DCCD. I don't know wiring if the DCCD receives its signals directly from the ECU or directly from the sensors themselves so I can't give you all the info.

But that doesn't change that it is possible. You just need the physical parts when using a stand alone and some wiring changes at the throttle body itself.
