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

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.

Stealth :D

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 .

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

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)

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!!

      Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
