    Throttlebody question

    I have 2003 C-5 that I have put a LS2 90mm throttlebody on, is there somewhere in hp tuners to reporgram the computer so it knows it has a 90mm instead of 78mm. That way when I start adding air to the AIR Flow tables it adjust accordingly.

    no, there is no need to tell it what size TB you have on there, other than that your ETC scalar may be off for idle now.

    ETC area Scalar is what I thought it was. I knew it wasnt going to make a big difference if any. Just wanted to give it a shot. The stock # was .0255
    and for a 90mm it should be about .0120. for anyone else who is curious.

    Thanks1

    It all depends on the TB and the open area of it. Most tend to be 0.018-0.022 from what I have seen. This is only for idle control as well and nothing else.

    I tried that, my car would not even idle. But when I used 0.340 it idles PERFECT.
