Hey guys...

Im currently in the process of installing a custom front facing high volume plenum on my RB25DET and already have a XF throttlebody chromed and rebuilt with the cable action modified to a 'pull-back' manner.

Now, how do I go about with the TPS as the XF throttlebody open/rotates in opposite directions to the RB25DET unit ??? Ive had people say wire up the original FORD unit that came with the XF tb, other people suggesting using a RB30 TPS..... I know this is a common conversion on RB25 motors pushing up to 350+rwkw so HELP GUYS !!!!

By the way, Im running a PowerFC if that'll help any....

Also, where in Sydney can I get a longer throttle cable made up for relocating the throttlebody to the front of the motor ?

Any help is appreciated !!

DID SOME RESEARCH.....

I think the standard XF TPS that came with the XF throttlebody may be used......

FORD XF TPS PINOUT :

GREEN - SIGNAL

ORANGE - 5V

BLACK - EARTH

They both operate at 5 volts so why cant the ford unit be wired into the standard RB25DET harness ?

I know the series 1 and series 2 RB25DET TPS are different as the series 1 has one plug and the series 2 has two plugs -

REFER TO:

This forum listing explains how a 3-wire 5 volt TPS can be wired into the series 2 RB25DET (2-plug) harness

I'm in the process of hooking everything up and see what happens.... worse comes to worst, I've got a brand new generic 80mm throttlebody sitting here that I can use the standard RB25DET TPS with......

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up

      You have a knack for photography my friend. It makes the 86 look like a complete bucket. The 34 went with you to Europe and back. It's special. (we all feel the same about our 'shitboxes' that every bystander seems to absolutely love)
