    Questions for installing throttle bodies

    Im installing some ITB's and Im going to ahve some questions. I will put them all in this thread. The first one is...

    Am i fucked for the tps? how am i going to do this?


    I just looked at it on the car and it looks like it goes 90 degrees. so i guess all i have to do is physiclly get it on to the itb's? what will happen if it doesnt reach full throttle on the tps? what will happen if it doesnt reach closed throttle?

    I assume that because all the throttles will open at the same time that you just need to install the TPS on one of them.

    It there a mounting point and hole in one of the TB butterfly shafts?

    what will happen if it doesnt reach full throttle on the tps?
    You won't get the WOT setting of the ECU and will not be receiving enough fuel for full power.

    what will happen if it doesnt reach closed throttle?
    Your Idle will be all fucked up. As the TPS is a switch, it's either on or off. Closed throttle is one setting and WOT is another, in between is a no mans land and will make your car run like crap at idle.

        I guess you'd have to make a custom manifold for those throttles so you could mount the icv to a port in that. A fair bit of fabrication.

          i think the icv should be cake. Im going to run it to the tube that splits into 4 and goes to each butterfly. I guess the question for the tps is will there be enough movment to activate both switches of the tps. what happends if it moves slightly past the idle switch or the WOT switch? you can see the tps switch in the upper right corner
