DBW Pedal Location

I am running a 6.0L LQ4 in my swap, but it a DBW Pedal assembly.

Does anyone have any pictures of their DBW setup in their car? I am trying to figure out the best location to mount it, since it is inverted compared to the Porsche setup - Thanks!

I cannot provide an example, but I have been considering a couple of different solutions concerning the DBW set-up on my L33 / 928 project.

My original thought was to work out keeping the Porsche pedal and attach the DBW pedal mechanism above it with a bearing or wheel for the contact point, and then have that depressed by the OE Porsche pedal.  More recently, I am leaning towards replacing my ECU with a throttle cable compatible ECU and using a conventional throttle cable set-up to keep the OE Porsche pedal and reduce the bulk of the throttle body as a benefit.  The second option is more work up front, but I think it may be a better long-term solution.

If you have the right DBW ECU, you might be able to convert it to cable operation.  I opened mine up to check, but my ECU did not have the right internal components.  The LT1 Wiring site has a guide that shows which ECU's can be converted.

If you look at my build mid way you will see how u mounted mine. Page 15 mid way down.

Thanks! I printed the picture and will take a look later. Assuming you just used some self tapping metal screws?

Mine is bolted in place.

just food for thought, lokar makes an aftermarket dbw pedal thats designed to work with the gm computer. might be something easier to work with.

My car is a LS3 2010 with a GM stand alone harness. Computer , pedal , ecm , all came as a package.this package is plug and play. It is set for[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
480 hp out of the box. I drilled through the firewall and installed carrage bolts for the two on the right. the one on the left is mounted to the factory pedal stop.The one on the left has a 3/4 in spacer to allow the pedal to sit right. It fits very well and looks stock.
