I think I'm gonna designate this week "Lucky Megasquirt week"
 

First the ECU connectors for $5, now this:

:bigtu:

Just bragging, move along :)

nice that looks like it will fit very well is it compatible with the stocker, and you just run wires for VTps to MS or is this gonna be a custom job?

I just bought the same thing from the same seller yesturday :bigtu:

Is this necessary for a megasquirt install? I'm buying up a bunch of parts for my '00 Megasquirt I install and I want to make sure I'm not missing anything.

Not necessary but it makes boost control and a few things like AC control nice as well.
Considering you have a coldside and not a turbo I don't think there are as many advantages. Then again i haven't messed with TPS values much.

It is if you want a variable tps but mapdot works fine for us.

I think I'll pass. Thanks for the info.

It's great when you get sellers who don't know what things are worth :bigtu:

I asked him if I could buy a pigtail, though, too, and he gave me big fat no :td:

Not sure what Mapdot is, but lean tip-in is much more of a problem on blown engines than turbo engines, and a good, high resolution TPS with a gnarly tune is the best way to fix that.

Weird, I asked him that couple months ago, and he said for an extra $15 I could. But I didn't even end up buying the TPS from him...too expensive ;)

BTW: I've posted that same auction about 3 times on here. I'm surprised nobody jumped on it sooner!

Pfft, for $15 extra he can suck it anyway.

The only auction I saw you post was one that ended at like $50, haha.

Yeah, that was the most recent. I gave up posting the $10 buy-it-now auction that was running for months ;)

Glad somebody finally snatched it up. If you need the pin-out diagram, I think I posted it here somewhere. If you can't find it let me know and I can get it for you, if you care.

Found it, thanks :)

I'm gonna get some extra weatherpacks from the yard today to make my own goddamn connector.

So is this a variable TPS that will fit a stock 1990?

Yup. Fits great. Wiring is left up to the user, however.

Which BMWs are the ones I want to get it from?

1987 1988 1989 1990 1991 1992 1993 BMW

635csi 2DR ( E24 ) BMW 735iL 4DR ( E32 ) BMW 735i 4DR ( E32 ) BMW 535i 4DR ( E34 )

all w/ automatic trans :bigtu:

Carl,

Your 2000 Throttle Body already has a variable TPS that will work just fine with MegaSquirt.
