if you don't want to swap throttle body then get the bmw one.

part # part # 0-280-120-402 or part # 0-280-120-406

 

I guess I jumped the gun. Do you not know what the current vtps setup is?

 

Hey Dann I put a MegaSquirt in my 1600 NA a few years ago and used a BMW/Bosch TPS (part number 0280120402). I pulled it out of a mid 90s 5 series 6 cyl auto BMW.

Pin 1 was +5V, pin 2 ground, pin 3 signal.

It is complete plug and play but you have to take off the throttle body or intake manifold or something, just so you have enough room to slide it between the throttle body and head.

I've heard Hyundai Excel ones fit too, but haven't seen it first hand.

 

wells tps201.

 

Unfortunately that would have to come from the US, so would end up being the most expensive TPS ever.

 

ah. there's another that would with I'll have to find it... Greg g used it... but its a eu manufacturer.

 

For starters Dan did you ensure the current TPS is configured properly?

 

Yeah I sent the TPS and ecu to gslender (creator of the firmware most people use) and he confirmed I had wired the board properly and set it up properly and that my board worked but the TPS had failed.

It's from a VL commodore, a car Americans would have loved but never got.

The BMW would be the go I think, much prefer to snag a new plug and play however.

Dann

 

I still think your TPS is working via the log file you sent.

 

yeah its doing something but it cannot be calibrated, something is wrong with it.

Its no way near linear, it does crazy things.

Dann

 

They did get the 2 door Commodore Pontiac GTO or something....

 

They got the late mod monarch and the ve.

They didn't get the VL much less the VL BT1 (cop edition turbo VL with a 600whp capable stock bottom end). Yanks Google 'VL turbo' if you are interested.

Dann

 

Was the pontiac G8 based on the monarch? I know it was based on one of the australian models

 

Looked it up, the g8 was based on the commodore.

 

its suipposed to say monaro.

Stupid autocorrect.

the G8 is a commodore.

You didnt get these though.



Factory V8 rice just like the yanks love.

Dann

 

Sigh....such an AWESOME car in the day. I never did like the wheels though...thought they could have done something better than that.

 

Haha it has the mandatory (for a VL) Snap-on seat covers.

 

here's the one i was thinking of:
