TBSS Intake Swap, Ultimate Guide! Add More Power To Your LS Motor!

[@jorgegonzalez-su8hb]

This is one of the most detailed, short and simple videos, I have seen on the tbss intake manifold swap, upgrade. Thanks, it is very helpful.

[@TheKingCoopa]

Awesome, thanks! Glad I could help out a little.

[@DONTCALLMETHAT]

I cannot tell you how glad I am that I found this video. I would've been so disappointed in all the stuff I didn't know I need to do before installing this. keep up the good work man,its a blessing to us.

[@TheKingCoopa]

Haha I felt the same way when I was doing all the research, started to debate if it was even worth it 😅 glad I could help. Let me know if you run into any issues 🤘🤘

[@James-WM]

Thanks for putting the time into this! I'm assembling a custom built 2000 6.0, hoping to run the tbss intake on it and fit it under the hood of a third gen f body. Some of this obviously won't apply to a non-oem swap, but a lot of great info here like knowing what works with the truck parts and what doesn't. Thanks again

[@TheKingCoopa]

Awesome, glad I could help. Yea that f body hood might be cutting it pretty close. The tbss intake is pretty tall. Good luck with the build 🤘

@Ivan J California haha nice, 200k miles would be awesome. For the swap, it all depends what your wanting. If its just a daily, the cost to hp ratio might not be worth the little extra gain. If your going for max HP and or plan to go boosted, then id definitely recommend upgrading the throttle body. Guess its all up to you, and what you want. But im not sure on the HP gains with just the new throttle body.

[@TheKingCoopa]

Hey, sorry for the late reply. Sounds like you are doing pretty well with the swap! the LSXRT and Hi ram also need high rpms. I would only run those if you are spinning to 7K-8K RPMS. or you will probably lose power.

Since you had to notch some of your fan off did you ever consider going with Electronic fan so you can free up that area gutting the shroud and fan setup.. just a curious thought that will feel a huge difference and benefit of efan setup.

Hey, yes I have! I will be doing a video of the swap as well. I already have the fans, and factory harness. Still have to pickup the larger radiator though. My next video will be of the coilover swap, then I'll be changing to 4.10 gearing. And at that point I'll be pulling the 4.8 to swap out to my LQ9 6.0, 2step, and a 200shot of nitrous. I'll be installing the E fans at the same time. Supposedly by eliminating the extra rotating weight, some people see a gain of 5-10hp from the swap. Thanks for the support!

That should create a good seal for the IAT

I did install a fuel regulator keep it at 59 pounds. It will randomly idle down to about 400-300 rpm and sometimes stop altogether. When it is running well, it will idle at 600 rpm with the a/c on or off. Then randomly for no obvious reason it will idle down.

Just need the injector adapters, hoses for the evap. since I’m using throttle cable I won’t have to worry about the X-link or anything like that right? The intake came with the evap still on it. Bought new thick metal felpro gaskets for intake and normal one for throttle body. Thinking about having the Injectors cleaned now. All in i’m at around $90 with the intake and the injector adapters, if I have the injectors cleaned it’s prob another $60 so $150 total for my swaps

Do you have anything on the tbss into a 98 4x4 chevy truck ,the does and don't 5.3 swap. Your awesome !!!

[@TheKingCoopa]

Hey, sorry for the late reply. I think the only difference will be the TB. I believe with the 98, you should have a drive by cable throttle body. So you won't need the XLink adapter. But you will need a throttle cable bracket, that bolts onto the top of the intake to hold your cables in place. I think its like $20. And you would need a 3 bolt to 4 bolt adapter (stock throttle body) or buy a 90mm DBC throttle body. Everything else should be the same

[@Draco-sm4bx]

You should relocate those coil packs next to create some more room on top of the motor and looks better

Great tutorial guide! I have a LQ9 swap in jeep wrangler with the stock cable operated TB and intake, my question is in your video you talked about having to use the x-link when swapping TBs, but that only refers to the drive-by-wire throttle bodies right? If not, what else would I need for a 92 mm TB swap along with the TBSS intake swap as far as getting my cable driven TB to operate correctly with the intake swap?

[@TheKingCoopa]

Hey, sorry for the super late reply. I thought I replied to this a while ago, but I guess not. Since you are cable driven, you do NOT need the x link. You can either re-use your current throttle body, with a 3 bolt to 4 bolt adapter. Or you can upgrade to a 90mm cable driven throttle body. Make sure you get new gaskets. Besides that I think the only really big difference is that your supposed to have a bracket that mounts ontop of the intake to secure the throttle cables, right behind the throttle body. I know there is an aftermarket company that makes them, can't remember their name, but im sure you could get by without it.

[@utahcountypicazospage5412]

You don’t need anything besides the bigger throttle body make sure it’s cable driven and you will just need a tune like you did before

[@brianyoung5204]

Ok really informative but my ocd can’t shy away from the 3/4 inch brass ball valve on your heater core hose why is it there

[@TheKingCoopa]

Haha so the truck was a one owner, old man bought it new in 2004. At some point in time, the hot/cold blend door went out. So instead of pulling the dash apart and fixing it properly, he installed the ball valve. So if he wanted it hot, he left the valve open. And when he wanted it cold, he would close the ball valve, stopping the coolant flow to the heater core. I replaced all the blend doors, just havnt taken the valve out yet 😅😅

Do you have to get a tune as tuning is a little difficult for California boys

[@TheKingCoopa]

If you just do the intake swap, you should be fine. But if you change the throttle body or injectors. Then a tune is definitely recommend

[@NEKiZLogistics.LLC.]

How much more hp/trq can I expect out of this upgrade (on average)? Fyi: 2005 Tahoe with the following work, 6.0L LQ4 Swap GM HotCam: Lift Intake .525 Lift Exhaust .525 Duration Intake 267 Duration Exhaust 276 Lobe Separation 112 Lifter Upgrade/Pushrod Upgrade, Valve Spring & Retainer Upgrade, Upgrated Plugs, and Wires, Intake, Headers, Straight Piped, and a Street Tune.

[@TheKingCoopa]

Honestly have no idea man. Thats a stupid big cam. The lift isn't that big, but the duration is. Most stock bottom end lq4 can only fit a high 230s low 240s duration. Im really surprised you dont have piston to valve issues. Hope you went with a 3000 stall and a built tranny. But id guess atleast 420hp to the wheels.

[@Broadpaw_Fox]

@@TheKingCoopa - I'm pretty sure he gave the full specs on that cam, not the duration at .050 (like most of the cams we talk about are rated). Based on that, his cam is around a 220⁰ cam at .050 lift. Not too crazy... ;)

For what a TBSS intake cost you can get the same results literally by having your stock truck intake manifold ported along with the throttle body and still come out cheaper than buying the TBSS intake.

[@TheKingCoopa]

If your balling on a budget, then yes. But actually comparing apples to apples, I don't think so. It would definitely help, and be cheaper, but a ported stock TB, I don't think will make the same CFM as a 90mm TB. Most guys say they gain 10-15hp on the intake swap, I don't think you can make all that HP up on a ported stock intake. I could be wrong. But I'd definitely be interested in looking at the CFM charts and dyne charts of the two comparisons.

[@JustAGuy781]

@@TheKingCoopa I have seen the dyno numbers of ported stock truck intake/throttle body combos and yes it does make power and torque and it is substantial enough. A larger throttle body such as from say a 78mm to a 92mm does not mean you will make power. Most of the time the larger throttle body will actually hurt your power rather than help. But porting the stock truck intake and throttle body is a great way to make anywhere from 12-30HP on the dyno as these are the ranges of numbers I have seen according to what mods each truck has. I'm not pulling this out of my ass, I have seen it. Go on Instagram and look up @454chuy and you can see some of the dyno numbers on there. He is great at porting and the only person who does my port work.

Hey, sorry for the extremely late reply!! A vacuum leak could definitely cause some idling/running issues. I'd definitely check over the hose fitting first, and even try a vacuum pressure test before you go and buy a new brake booster. Also keep in mind it could potentially be two separate issues. I doubt it and you know your truck better than I do, but its always a possibility. Sorry I wasn't much help, I hope you figured it all out by now!

I know this is an intake swap video, I’m curious to know how ur speed engineering headers have treated you! Did they have any fitment issues? Are they close to the steering column at all? Clean build for sure! Your vids are always straight forward and professional keep the content coming!

[@TheKingCoopa]

Thank you! They have been pretty great so far. I have had three issues with them, not really a huge deal though. 1. Was the Y pipe was a little hard to wiggle up past the trans crossmember. Took me like 10min to figure it out haha. 2. Is the Y pipe comes with a bung welded into it, so I can run my AFR gauge. Which is awesome, but those bungs for the sensors need to be welded in at a higher angle. They weld the bung in completely level, which allows the exhaust condensation to sit in the sensor tip, after you shut the engine off. Which will corrode the sensor, and I have already gone through two AFR sensors. They aren't cheap. So when I pull the exhaust out for my 6.0 LQ9 swap coming up soon, I'll weld in a new bung at the proper angle. If you're not running an AFR gauge, no big deal. 3. The clamps they send you are junk. Just throw them away. I went to Napa and got new exhaust clamps. The long 3in wide ones, you wrap around the tube, run the bolts through both sides of the clamp, then tighten the bolts down, and it will pull that clamp SUPER tight! Definitely recommend those. Other than that, I haven't had any issues. The rest of the fitment was great, and doesn't hit anything. It also clears my front 4x4 driveshaft. If your gonna do longitudes, then I would just spend a little extra money and get ARP exhaust bolts. They are stronger, won't snap, and won't corrode into your heads. Also don't re-use your exhaust gaskets. Get a set of (MLS) multi layer steel gaskets. They work really well. Hope that all helps. Stay tuned, I just got a roll cage installed, and the 6.0 is at the machine shop getting prepped for the swap, along with 2step, and a 200 shot of NOS haha. Thanks for all the support!! Good luck!

[@ericgzhc4t1]

When you installed your TBSS intake manifold, throttle body and X-link, did you have to get a tune after that, Ive seen some people that say that their truck will shut off or the throttle body doesn't work, but you mentioned you had a GM/AC Delco Throttle Body, ive seen a lot of knock off throttle bodies out there just didn't know if you had to get a tune immediately, I just purchased a TBSS intake with the OEM TBSS fuel injectors and stock TBSS throttle body, so interested in what you did. keep up the good work truck looks Nice!!

[@TheKingCoopa]

Hey, sorry for the late reply. If you do want to run the newer 90mm TB then you will need the X link adapter. Xlink stated it won't work with any of the knock off, ebay special TBs. So technically any fuel or air flow changes you would need a tune to really maximize the add-ons, and to run properly. But if you do just the intake, with your stock TB, you will be fine. If you do the X link and 90mm Tb, you could probably drive it to the tuner. But if you swap out to the larger Injectors, then you will need a tune ASAP. The larger 36lb injectors caused my truck to run extremely rich, and would foul out a set of plugs in 5min of idle time. So I gave my tuner an extra $50 to come to me, so I didn't have to tow it to him. Hope that helps. Good luck on the swap 🤘

[@TheKingCoopa]

Sorry for the late reply. You definitely have an issue going on. First thing I would do is throw a code reader on the truck and see what it comes up with. That will hopefully tell you a lot, you can narrow down and fix the issue. If not, next step I would do, is call up the company about the X-link, tell them the situation. If its the X-link, and is a common issue, then they will definitely know what to do. Or maybe they can work out a way to get you a new one. If neither of those two work, I'd look for a local reputable tuner, and have them take a look. A lot of times they can see things on the HP tuner software, that are out of the normal. And can help you narrow down what this issue is. Sorry, thats the best I got. Hope that helps! Good luck on your build.

How does it work with a 2006 Chevrolet Tahoe vin z flex fuel 5.3 are they the same type of fuel rails and injectors or can I use my injectors from Tahoe. I not sure if someone could answer I would appreciate it thanks.

[@TheKingCoopa]

Hey, so with a little research I found that the 05- 07 classic Flex fuel injectors start at 35.404767lb and ramp up to 38.443005lb on a returnless system also based off a constant fuel pressure of 60 PSI. You would have a returnless fuel system. So you don't need the the C5 corvette filter. Your factory fuel rail won't fit over the tbss intake hump. So you would either have to cut your fuel rails, weld on AN fittings, run the AN line over the top to clear the hump. Then make little drop tabs to mount the fuel rails to the tbss intake. Or, use your flex fuel injectors, the tbss fuel rail, and then you will need injectors risers, since the truck/suv injectors are a little shorter than tbss injectors. Hope that helps

[@mathewp4684]

Probably not the place to come for questions, but I'm having issues. Same cam you have, I'm running milled 706 heads. Had a 07 style intake ported to match heads and running 42lb injectors. My tuner set me a base tune to get it running. It will not idle, will not go over 3k sounds like it has a 2step. Would do the same before the base tune was added.

[@TheKingCoopa]

Hey, this could be so many things. You gonna have to take some time to track it down. Did you make sure the timing gear and crank gear were aligned properly? With milled heads did you check for proper pushrod length? You will need shorter pushrods. Did you tourqe the pushrods properly? Double check all your vacuum lines Check to make sure the intake manifold is installed properly with new gaskets, to make sure its not sucking in air around the gaskets. If you have the newer style DBW throttle body, did you use the X link? If you did use the xlink, are you running a GM/Acdelco throttle body? The xlink won't work if its an ebay special TB. Make sure the butterfly is operating. Use a heat gun on the exhaust manifold to see if one side isn't firing, check the coil pack connector. Check your shreader valve, on the fuel rail for proper fuel pressure. If you ran the truck on larger injectors before the tune, your spark plugs are probably fowled out. They will need cleaned or replaced. Also run some MAF spray cleaner through your MAF sensor. Make sure you reuse the old gen III MAP sensor. Also, you might have to tell your tuner to tune the truck with a speed density tune. Good luck!

@@TheKingCoopa Thanks for the reply, injectors were junk, went back with stock injectors, and it is running much better.

Thats awesome, I appreciate the support and the sub! Also just an FYI, the flex fuel injectors will run a few higher lbs. So if you switch to non-flex fuel injectors, you will have to adjust that fuel trim in the tune. You will run really rich and burn up the plugs in a few minutes.

[@TheKingCoopa]

Hey, sounds like you have alot of work ahead of you 👌 seeing that you have a single fuel line, you have a return-less style fuel system. They are internally regulated in the tank/pump. So you do not need a regulator. One thing you should look up, is to make sure your stock fuel pump has enough pressure/GPH, since you are adding two more cylinders. I'm sure a stock v6 fuel pump would be fine on a stock V8. But if your cammed and modified, that stock v6 pump might not beable to keep up. But the pump stats online would beable to give you that info. Hope that helps, good luck with the swap, and thanks for the support!

Did you have to modify your TBSS fuel rail to adapt that filter that far forward? my inlet nipple is quite a bit longer that that.... So my fuel lines are quite tight against the firewall. I wont run them until that's fixed. Any input would be awesome

[@TheKingCoopa]

Hey, I have a returnless style fuel system, so I didn't need the C5 fuel filter. For your situation where the fuel lines are tight and don't have enough room, you could get a fuel line to AN adapter. Plug that into your fuel rail. Then get a 180° AN bend. Plug in the filter, then get another 180° bend, and fuel line adapter to run back towards the firewall that your fuel line would plug into. So it would make an S shape, and the filter will sit right next to the fuel rail. Hope that helps. There are a few photos on Google of guys running it like that of you still have issues.

I'll log it to ensure it's not trying to go lean but was mainly curious if I could just swap the injectors over to see how it does. Also, how was the power difference out of the hole?

[@TheKingCoopa]

Hey, so I believe the nbs injectors are just slightly shorter than the nnbs injectors. Ive herd of somepeople getting away with it. Most people switch to tbss/nnbs injectors or 8.1L injectors. If you have any issues, I believe you can run injector risers to fit properly with the nbs sets. But as for swaping out the intake, any airflow changes it is definitely recommend that you retune. If you swapping to the 90mm TB and X-Link, then you will for sure need a tune. For the power change, I went from a bone stock 4.8, to adding alot of mods: big cam, milled 243s, full exhaust, intake, 2600stall, built tranny, shift kit, etc. So it was an incredible night and day difference for me.
