Sean 83ZXT Posted June 10, 2003 Share Posted June 10, 2003 Can anyone provide any info on the TPS they used and how they set it up? I would like to use the stock linkage if at all possible. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
240hoke Posted June 10, 2003 Share Posted June 10, 2003 you have to wire it to the wires coming from the bottom of the TPS. Just check the risitance from the sds manual and hook up your connector. The switch type tps plug in is not used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean 83ZXT Posted June 10, 2003 Author Share Posted June 10, 2003 This I understand. I may have not been very clear. I want to know what TPS people used since you cannot use the stock one and what they modified to use the stock linkage. Thanks again.

240hoke Posted June 10, 2003 Share Posted June 10, 2003 I'm using a 240sx TB and TPS sensor. The 240sx sensor is both swith and potientiometer(sp?). For the sds you use the 3 wires coming from the bottom of the sensor, which is for the potientiometer part. Hope this helps. -Austin Oh btw no Z TPS sensors will work with sds because they are all switch type, but i figure you know that already.

sims76 Posted June 11, 2003 Share Posted June 11, 2003 I used a 240sx TB and TPS for my megasquirt. It would only read from 3.5V to 5V. If you loosen the two screws that hold it on the TB, you can adjust it a few degress (that translates into volts to your SDS) either way. I found that I could not get the dynamic range close enough to 0-5V. What I did was take the two screws out and rotate it a few degrees more than the slots in the TPS would normall allow. By rotating it about another 45 degrees clockwise, you will see that you can then put the screws back in and they will wedge the TPS in place. (You will know what I mean when you see it.) My TPS now reads from about 0.5V at idle to 5V at full throttle -- good enough for megasquirt and probably good enough for SDS too. -Sims Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Zcarsmakemyheadhurt Posted June 17, 2003 Share Posted June 17, 2003 I use a TPS from a new Nissian, mine has a standard type plug then a seperate lead with a connector on it, from a Maxima. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
