Hi, Guys

Some questions rising during my modification; I have Greddy Plenum with Q45 (infinite) throttle body and discover that I no longer able to use my stock throttle cable (cable is longer), and the throttle position sensor harness is different (alougth both 3 wires), so question are:

1) What throttle cable did you guys use?

2) How you wire up Q45 throttle position sensor to stock throttle position harness?

3) If you still have the Greddy plenum manual, what does it talk about on the 3-12 (page 20)..

all help appreciate...

Phillip

Adzman, I replied to your question in the other thread:D

sidewaymambo, I originally had the stock throttle body with an adapter plate, and we were able to use the stock throttle cable and TPS. I later had a custom throttle body (90mm) made, and we were still able to retain the stock throttle cabel, and used a TPS from a Holden, which we got from Conventrys, as it had the same pin arrangement.

After a while we had a custom throttle cable made, as the stock one was starting to catch as it was at an odd angle. You can have a custom cable made to any size you like.

I would imagine that the TPS on the Q45 would be very similar, with two wires acting as a potentiometer and one acting as the stop switch.

Hope that helps.

Yeah, sorry. The TPS is like a potentiometer, it varies the voltage signal out depending on how open the throttle is. Aslong as the signal range is the same then you should be able to tune the car with the larger throttle body no probs:D

And the TPS feeds back to the ECU right ? What happens to the output of this ?

Does the TPS output combine with the AFM output for the ECU to make decisions ? Is this ECU dependant or is the TPS & AFM outputs independant ?

I don't know if that quesiton made much sense.....? I hope you understand what I mean ?

sidewaymambo,

I am having my TB replaced with a ford item, it has a two position sensor (on/off) and the guy who is fitting it said it is quite easy to adapt the stock TPS to the ford TB

Also, I am using a GTiR throttle cable that fits quite nicely, also you can get the stock ones shortened so I am told.

A Silvia or 180SX throttle cable fits. A GT-R has the same connectors to suit the Q45 throttle body, and have never seen the manual so can't help on the 3rd quiz.

Hi, DoughBoy..

silvis or 180sx, did you refer to the SR20DET or CA18DET? thanks

    • Ok i will get those 310mm. I found one but on a different site. This is the description on those...is it ok? Technical parameters: - Axle: front. - Disc type: ventilated. - Number of holes: 5. - Disc diameter: 310mm. - Total height with center: 54mm. - Thickness (new/min.): 30/28mm. - Designed for brake calipers manufacturer: Sumitomo.
    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
