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.

Paul

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

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
