Xf Tb Wiring Insturctions

[bazr33]

Hi guys

Just wondering if anyone knows how to wire up the xf throttle body with a vl manual TPS

My car being a auto originally i have two connectors. Just wanting to know which one do i use to the connect the TPS to it.

Any diagrams or explanations or steps would be much appreciated.

THanks

theres a bit of info in the PFC faq on using it, you might get lucky - worth a shot

on skylines manuals and auto's both have 2 plugs for the tps. one is apart of the plastic tps moulding and the other is on the end of a short length of cable coming out of the tps unit.

the one on the length of cable is the variable tps output. usually 3 wires, 5v input, ground and variable voltage output. (from memory the middle one on the plug is the output)

the one that is apart of the plastic tps moulding is the throttle on/off switch. usually 2 wires, just a switched, on/off voltage.

I have converted my skyline to manual and have obtained a TPS from a vl manual commodore which has only one connector( does not have the additional wire and connector as on the automatic vl)

Just need to know how to splice in the existing skyline loom to the manual vl tps connector.

why do people still use these shitters

i was looking at those billet ones but dont trust them. plus being 250 bucks or whatever they are, and could have the possiblity of getting a poorly made one could stuff everything up .

Xf throttle body being 20 bucks, and knowing that they work. I dont think you can go wrong. Yes they were made in 1972 or whenever and from a shit car ( who cares).

Just wiring issues at the moment but if i find the right information, its not going to be hard to have it sorted.

oh ok, didnt notice that in your first post you said it was a vl manual tps. what ecu are you running? you wont be able to use the manual vl tps with a stock ecu, auto or manual.

the manual vl tps only has the on/off switch, when the throttle is closed the switch is closed. just do a continuity test on the pins until you find the ones that switch.

i have a pfc

[QWK32]

does the pfc need a variable tps input, i think it does?? why cant you use the std 33 tps, wont it bolt up properly?

[bazr33]

i was just going by what other people have said that works with the xf throttle body.

I didnt think the standard one would work.

I think i have lost the standard one, i have tried finding it but dont know where i put it. i'll have to keep hunting around, and see it would work.

[bazr33]

i now know that i should use a auto rb30 tps, which i also had

and use the wire coming off the tps and plug it straight into the rb25 plug. Hopefully the pfc will recognise it and will have no hickups.

people that are running the XF throttle body,

do you guys have the air bleeder thing on it which you can adjust or not?

I have one that doesnt have it on it? could this affect idle ? (hoping that ya know what im talkiing about.)
