Drax240z Posted April 6, 2001 Author Share Posted April 6, 2001 Ah, revelations! Anyway, I just tested out the 3 TPS's I had in the garage, a 280zx one, a 240sx one, and the ford one from Randy. I've got it all figured out now. So yes, the potentiometer type do have 3 prongs, same as the older style... ------------------ Richard Lewis - 1972 240z, Powered by a Nissan 2.8L Turbo Inline 6.

Drax240z Posted April 7, 2001 Author Share Posted April 7, 2001 Well I got a nice 240sx throttle body, its so much bigger than the stock turbo one. That blows me away. A puny little TB on the 2.8L turbo engine, and a huge one on the 2.4L NA engine. Anyone else seeing problems here? Anyway, the "normal" way I've heard this conversion done is to make a 1/2" aluminum spacer to place between the intake and the throttle body, so that the linkage doesn't make contact with the runners. I was looking at mine yesterday thinking I didn't want to make a plate for that, and voila, everything works perfectly if you put the TB on upside down. I racked my brain and I can't fathom how this could cause a problem. Anyone? Basically this puts the linkage away from the engine block and the TPS nearer to the block. Alos, do potentiometer type TPS's have 3 prongs? I know the old idle/off idle/full throttle ones do... ------------------ Richard Lewis - 1972 240z, Powered by a Nissan 2.8L Turbo Inline 6.
