e30 TPS to e36 Variable TPS Wiring + Adapter + Sensor Kits

e36 TPS kit

Hey guys, I have tried sending him a PM and he never replied but he did reply to my email earlier this week.

His response to me was: "Sorry, I have not been making those recently"

Maybe if he got a few more emails about it he would see the demand and it would be worth it to him to make another batch?

What do you guys think?

Or if you have the cad file for the adapter! It would be awesome to just quick 3D print it.

I’d also buy one

I would also like to know if you are making these kits.

[Vultron]

Is this kit still available and for sale?

Thank you for the feedback Glen.

I have had a couple of orders and sold my first full kit. This includes:

- New e36 Variable TPS
- New e36 Variable TPS injection molded adapter plate with brass inserts and mounting hardware (Squared Motorwerks)
- New Wiring adapter for Variable TPS

Here are a few photos.

7" long adapter for RHD ITBs?

...As far as the length goes it sounds like 12" is necessary for RHD ITB's.

Because these wires are often cracked and nasty looking, I cut about 5-6" off the factory m20b25 hard plastic covering on the engine wiring harness loom for the TPS, ICV, and CC (deleted, unused plug on my install), then where I cut it I used a zip-tie to contain the wires. I then heat shrunk the wires to the TPS, ICV. I cut my CC plug off, but left the 2 wires stubbed for later possible use with another auxiliary use with MS2 PNP, so no need to wrap these. My wires are now nice looking and very supple.

Also, if for some reason you are using a Motronic 1.0 m20b27 engine harness, there will no CC plug as those models use a manual purge valve.

I did this to tuck this 3-function part (on mine 2 of course with CC plug cut) of the engine harness under the RHD ITB's, so that part of the harness is not hanging low. Thus I'm only using a 7" adapter from downforce22/ted with my RHD ITB's, and no lose wires or extra wiring hanging around.

Of course if you install RHD ITB's you could have downforce22/Ted make you a 12" and not have to cut any of the engine wiring harness for the TPS, ICV, and CC, but you would have to somehow tuck the low hanging long-wired harness away, no BFD.

I wonder if these can be used to adapt from M30 speed/ref sensor connection of the wiring harness to the M30B35 hall sensor. The connector shapes look familiar to me...

You'd just want it to be probably about 36 inches. Could be usable for early M30 Motronic to Megasquirt swaps.

I received another order and started to build more vTPS Adapters.

Here are a couple of pictures.

Go Ted go

Bumpski for great seller

135 shipped seems very reasonable. Is it a Bosch sensor.
SSSQUID is building a MS unit for me right now. As far as the length goes it sounds like 12" is necessary for RHD ITB's.

Thanks for the review Glen. Here are some photos of the competed adapter with PICO high temp heat shrink and rubber boots and wire dust boots. Can supply new e36 vTPS and vTPS adapter bracket as well.

I was asked to provide the GM IAT sensor and can get that as well. PM for pricing and specific order needs.

Thanks Ted!

Downforce22/Ted built me a e36 TPS wiring adapter for RHD ITB's and MS2 install on my m20b31 stroker. Was not interested in using ancient three-position e30 TPS (idle, POT, and WOT), so I needed a wiring harness to use the e36 dynamic TPS with MS2.

The harness functions as described, build quality is very high, and using it makes the install look clean. Ted constantly communicated with me, and was very accommodating when I changed my order from 12" to 6" long.

I would "HIGHLY RECOMMEND" using Downforce22/Ted and his quality product. Thank you Ted!

Good to hear it works. This would be nice to have had before I did my swap. Still one I'd probably get for one of my other M30 cars.

[downforce22]

I build my first prototype tps adapter and it worked. Here area couple of pictures. I didn't use heat shrink or the rubber dust boots on this one in case I had a problem. Here are a few pictures as well as once I installed it on my car and tested it. Note I am using a homemade adapter bracket not the one that will come in this kit.













I did a datalog, but ignore the AFR readings as i am running the engine on basically stock Motronic 1.3 with a narrowband oxygen sensor.
