FJ20 TPS/Throttle body

[Boof]

As topic suggest's, i've got a Wolf 3D V4 pro for my FJ, and my brother just had one installed on his FJ as well, only snag with it was that the wolf doesn't work with the standard TPS as its only an on off switch not a true TPS sensor...Now does anyone know if there is one that you can get off another motor (SR?? CA??) that will bolt up or is it easier to just swap to an XF throttle body at this stage and have one less restriction??? If thats the case, how hard is the XF throttle body to install?? Any cutting and shutting of plenum needed???

Cheers,

Shane

Grab a TPS from Haltech & mount it up. They are a true potentiometer.

Will it work with the Wolf though Ben?? Arnt the stock FJ throttle bodies fairly restrictive though when u start making some serioius power??? Bare in mind my turbo is good for upto 30psi and 450PS....

[BensDR30]

I know people that are making that kind of power on a 45mm throttle body....

Suck it & see!

As for compatibility - Check the wolf manual. Wolf should be able to provide a compatible sensor too.

If I go programmable it will probably be a Microleb purely so I can junk the flap air flow meter easily. A friend is going to make up some plugs to make it a plug in proposition, and I'll be running a gutted RB30E airflow meter with wires going into the firewall to make it look like its standard, and the ecu will be in a Nissan ecu case.

If you want something really unique why not use an SR20DET loom and Apexi PFC . That way you can get direct fire ignition and a choise of MAF's ie Q45 from Infinity .

Any SR20 bits in a DR30 would be sacreligious

Funnily enough, thats something that me and my mates discussed at one stage, it could be done, no reason why it couldn't just be easier to use a normal aftermarket ecu...

Adam i was looking at the microleb, but for what i got this wolf for really couldn't complain hehehe

I have seen a few DR's pop up on yahoo auctions with the SR set up with a power FC. Seemed very interesting.

[Adam_RSX]

Meh no SR20 bits for me

Cant wait to see how Shane's car runs with the Wolf and his turbo.... its impressive

[Boof]

Fills a void in dat der engine bay doesn't it adam teehee can go bigger, prolly will in later stages but meh we'll see!!

[Adam_RSX]

Well............. It definitely doesnt look standard

PFFT how dare you lie!! Its standard as son

[Adam_RSX]

Standard RSX intercooler too hey

It will be nice once you get it back on the road

My throttle body is from an FJ20E and was auto.It has 2 tps plugs on it for the auto trans.The second plug is the variable type tps that you need.Maybe some other factoy TBs from automatics will fit.The XF TB is a cut and shut job.My engine is close to 400bhp and it poses no prob(im also using wolf ecu)

355hp at the wheels would be closer to 450 flywheel,wouldn't it Todd?

[DR30RS]

I would like to think so but i dont think you drop that much power through a manual box.

Thanks Todd i was kinda waiting to get an answer from you about this!! Seems i'll have to go and suss an automatic FJ tps then hey!!

I was just throwing the idea of the XF throttle body around as an aside issue, i would prefer to keep FJ tb at this stage, and hopefully i can suss something to fit it!!

Good luck finding an auto FJ.....

I thought I found one a while back, but it was a flying pig with hens teeth!

Pretty certain the second cable quadrant is for criuse control not TPS . I have never seen an FJ20 std with a flex plate on it yet .
