properly? unless you have a machine shop at your disposal, i would not recommend it. also, if you look under you hood, the throttle body is an integral part of the upper plenum. as in, you cant just take the TB off and replace it. you take the whole plenum.

And roll the dice on whether or not you'll get a decent part. They have had an iffy reputation lately.

The throttle body is cast as part of the upper plenum on the '93-'97 2.2L motors. It is not removable.

Get a 2.3L Quad4 TB and remove the throttle blade and have a machine shop bore the TB on the 2.2L OHV plenum to match the 2.3L throttle blade. I had a shop make my throttle blade, which cost extra and he said it was a PITA! Will most likely cost less to get a used TB and use the blade than to make one.

STS (Street Truck Specialties). They make one for the older LN2, and since the plennum & TB for the pre-'98 LN2's are the same in both the S-truck & J-body apps...


Go beyond the "bolt-on".

It looks like STS isn't in business anymore. Does anyone know of a place to get a larger throttle body on the ln2 95-97 motors?

Or is getting a stock one machined with a larger butterfly valve my best option right now?

Thanks. I'll take it down to the machine shop and get that done. Have you have it done? What did you think of the change?
