Help vz ss LS1 8 pin throttle body to 6 pin

[John snow]

Stuck on a upgrade. Putting on a new sniper intake manifold and 102mil throttle body, fuel rails, valley cover etc. VZ drive by has a 8 pin throttle connection, the new 102mil throttle body has a 6 pin. Does anyone know a way around this on a budget. Thanks

This company does the module/adaptors for what you are wanting to do

I'm sure there would be other businesses around nowadays that do them as well

Just food for thought...….
After doing some research on this myself a few years back, I found that there are some really cheap & nasty alternatives getting around, and the general consensus from users of these was that the cheapies don't do the job properly

Thanks for the feed back guys. Can't believe it's about $500 delivered for the xlink. Surely if an adaptor works then a good auto electrian would be able to wire in a new 6 pin plug into the wiring harness. It has to be possible. Just a matter of finding that someone in Townsville area

it uses signal conversion also so it works as that will be the extra cost, its not just a cable

Just done some research on it. There's diagrams on how to do it. But no comments or feed back, except that you lose 2 sensors worse case. Think it's just going to be easier to buy the xlink. Drama is their on holidays till the end of February. Does anyone know if any Australian companies sell them. Thanks for all feed back. Has been most helpful. Got everything ready, but the xlink.

Hey mate, OP was only logged on for the month of his posting, unless someone else chimes in you could have a long wait.
Good luck.
