Xf Throttlebody & Longer Throttle Cable ......

[smok74]

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 -

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......
