I just bought an 04 grand prix gtp motor transaxle harness and computer. I know I need older throttle body, but what year and model harness and computer do I need to use the motor and transaxle? Also for fuel do I just use a 3 port adjustable regulator? I have a chance to buy a harness and computer out of an 03 Buick lasabre, I just don't want to buy the wrong parts. Please help. Lol
The E-throttle is simple, all that's needed is to mount the pedal.
The pedal should be included with it. It's being delivered on Monday. What about the fuel pressure sensor and returnless fuel system? Also what software are you guys using? I use to use C.A.T.S. Tuner software for my old supercharged lt1 corvette.

Although DBW operation can be achieved, on my series III I went with a 2000 N* cable operated throttle body using the adapter from ZZ performance. Although I never tried DBW I have read that there are programming issues that must be overcome that are not easy.

Mounting the pedal is no problem, its a simple plate to offset the mounting holes. The pedal is wired almost fully to the TB, so its a simple wiring job too.
You can use the S3 rail with only 1 hose up to the rail by using a corvette fuel filter mounted down by the tank.

I don't believe that the Corvette gasoline filter has a rising rate fuel pressure regulator build in, in other words a FP regulator that raises the standard operating fuel pressure above the boost level so the engine doesn't go lean. Going DBW may involve deleting traction control and PCM fuel regulation functions. While program modification can most likely circumvent these I feared that DBW would dampen throttle response a bit so I took the simple approach and wired using a 2003 GTP PCM, the 3800SC regulator by the tank and a cable operated N* TB. I would appreciate hearing how you addressed these issues especially the traction control function.

Considering the S3 PCM is designed for static fuel pressure on the L32, it works exactly as intended. The throttle control table is tunable, as are abuse modes & torque management

The blower generates boost and if you have 43psi of static fuel pressure and 8 psi of pressure in the manifold it becomes 35 psi at the injectors unless the system is set up for fuel management at the fuel pump in the tank where you can lengthen the duty cycle and increase pressure there. Just a guess on this, but the 3800SC series II controls, although more basic, seem more workable to me and easier to tune..

the fuel pressure when using the corvette filter should be a constant 58 PSI. It's does not have a vacuum/boost reference.
How does the series 3 regulate fuel pressure? Is it expecting a constant pressure, or does the PCM modulate the pump to reduce/raise pressure as needed? I would have assumed it expects a constant pressure
