youve asked me the same thing on msn twice now

the throttle body will need to fit the throttle body adapter in the first place (so it mates up).

as long as that works there is nothing you need to do on the PFC.

in fact, there is nothing you can do on the PFC.

the TPS sensor needs to match the voltage range of the stock one, or you mate the stock one onto it and get the same result.

I know i have asked you this over msn, but you never gave me a clear explanation hence i am posting it here, and want to hear what others got to say. The XF throttle body already matches the new intake plenum (mates up). How would i go about matching the voltage of XF TPS to the standard one, as standard R33 TPS doesn't fit onto XF throttle body ?

jesus, the standard RB25 TPS opens THE WRONG WAY for use with an XF throttle body. unless you can bend the very fabric of reality and create some kind of backwards universe ruled by inverse laws of physics, then you will not get it to work with the standard TPS.

go steal an RB30 TPS from a wrecker, it will cost nothing. the plug is even the same so there's no modification required.

yeah the XF TPS is a heap of junk, i'm not even sure if it gives a proportional output like the RB ones do. you need something that tells the ECU the approximate percentage opening of the valve, and also when it is shut for idle purposes.

fitting the RB30 TPS fixes all these problems, as its output is almost identicle to the RB25 one. i measured em.

sorry for the post in a more or less dead thread but.. will the ford XF tb fit the greddy style rb25 inlet plenum?

I got few adapter plates made up for greedy style rb25 plenum so you can fit standard R33 throttle body on, PM me if you are interested.

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Haggerty · Posted

      I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.

      Could it really happen......

      I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.

      Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...

      Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
