Throttle Position Adjuster

So I was having a chat to a mate who is an electronics guru.

I told him how the ecu is programmed to control the throttle of the car, dependant on load and throttle position (the pedal) and explained how i want the throttle open MORE than the ECU is telling it to, by a percentage.

He seems quite interested in doing this and this may improve engine response for us all.

I guess my car will be the guinea pig (lucky i have a spare TB for him to muck around with - and break if needs be) once he has something. I just want to see who else might be interested, and also work out and scenarios this would be bad.

I think during cruise (so an imput while cruise is on to not affect the throttle position), but have nothing else.

Im hoping to make it adjustable, as a percentage of the throttles actual position. ie, 10% more, 20%more. The difference between this and the other kits out there now, is that they affect the TPS (throttle pedal) and not the actual throttle position of the engine like this kit will do.

Any ideas or comments??? this would be V35 and Z33 compatible as well i guess..........

Ian....no idea's for you but I will tell you one thing.

After I put in the Haltech it is even more noticeable how much the fly by wire takes control.....I have way(WAY MORE) more response at 25% to 60% of the throttle than 100%. I am slowly learning to drive it....but its a F$%KING pain in the arse.....bring back cable I say.....bloody engineers :)

I agree, there is so much lag in the throttle, the stepper motor is too slow and wont snap open. +1 Bring back the cable.

I dont know if changing the resistance will do anything but its worth a try.

The throttle is too touchy also I find, its hard to stay on 100 as a tiny bit more pedal and im doing 120, cruise control would help but Ive got so many other things to spend $800 on.

    • Got some decent progress after work yesterday and also today. Got the ECU all wired and passenger side interior all back together. Kept the wiring up nice and high to avoid people standing on it. Got the surge tank relays rewired and tidied up the pump wiring and cut a hole to bring the cables through.  I found a spare USB cable I had lying around so I decided to cut it up and see if I could use it for my CAN 1 bus. Turned out one of the pins I needed was to the shield of the cable so i cut it up and desoldered it and resoldered to the correct pins.  Had the issue with the powersteering hose hitting the A/C compressor and fan shroud. I pulled the bracket off and modified it to remove the front mounting point which now clears it all. Will keep an eye on it to see if theres any signs of fouling once it's up and running.
    • That's some good input mate. Nice.
    • So today I went well outside my comfort zone (again) to replace my valve cover gasket.  I have had a big leak over the exhaust leading to a lot of smoke and smell every time I drove it. The leak was in the rear driver's corner.  The job wasn't hard as such, just a bit finicky and time consuming.  The old gasket was rock hard and broken right where the leak was.  The leaky corner had so much sitting oil in it.  The good news to my amateur eyes was no buildup or sludge under the cover. It all looked fairly nice in there.   I haven't started it yet. I ran out of light and body when putting the coils and injector loom back in. Probs only 30min left for the morning.  I was so nervous putting the cover back on, I must have lifted it 5 times to make sure the gasket was still seated properly. God it's going to be nice to be leak free and not make other traffic light queuers think my car is about to explode.
    • Gave the Mazda it's first wash, it will need some clay, a light compound, and polish polish to remove a few swirl marks, but that will be a job for when I have a full day to get my DA polisher action on
    • Just did this job on my 32 with the boost doc kit. was quite simple to fit, hardest part was getting the rubber bungs back on the firewall. does anyone know how the heater will work now without the flap in the bend? Will I just have a heater on 24/7 now?
