Two Questions In One

[murrayis]

Hi,

I have just put my engine back in the car after being rebuilt and ran into a couple of problems.

1) theres a wire coming out of the same harness as the + battery lead but I am unsure if it goes on the + or the - as when I check the continuity it measures as being connected to the earth But I am unsure if this if because its going through something and connecting back to the car or not.

2) I got a 80mm Throttle body from BMI when they were still Buzz Engines in Sumner Park QLD, I have no idea what TPS suites it. and before you say contact BMI, Well I have tried but seeing they packed up shop and Moved to the USA last december and the only scaps of BMI here is a dude who bought the stock to see it off as BMI

Any help you can provide would be a great help if me getting my car finally finished.

Black wire = negative

Black wire = negative

Thats what I figured just found it weird that it was in the same harness as all the positives.

Anyone have any ideas what TPS I require?

[murrayis]

After much look could this be suited to a LS1?

^^ prolly, but almost anything is achievable. I would say the TPS you need to use, is more to do with the ECU you have; what range of signal it wants. From there, you can fab up a mount to mount the TPS on.

I gave Petro-ject a call to see if they could match one up, they said they have one that they are pretty sure is off a Ford... I am using a Adaptronic ecu, so the signal range won;t be a problem and it supports a very large number of TPS options.

Is there anywhere else that sells Tps's for less that $150 which I got quoted?

I am also looking for a TPS to suit.

My gasresearch throttlebody has the same shaft as pictured...

Could try asking Rossco in the following link:

He uses the same throttlebody

[murrayis]

Well I picked up a TPS off ebay for $55 for a Ford E series which appears to suite the TB correctly

[inmate]

Yep was looking at EF-EL TPS sensors and they have the same shaft fitting.

Anybody know if these will work with the standard ECU?
