pcakes55 Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 Anyone mod a 240sx TPS and/or 280zx TB to work with eachother? I'm debating whether or not I should just get the entire 240sx TB with TPS, but I already have the 280zx TB and I can get the 240sx TPS for next to nothing.

CamH Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 Anyone mod a 240sx TPS and/or 280zx TB to work with eachother? I'm debating whether or not I should just get the entire 240sx TB with TPS, but I already have the 280zx TB and I can get the 240sx TPS for next to nothing. I was able to do this by using large washers with the bolts from the 280ZX throttle body that cover the "wings" on the TPS and hold it tight against the throttle body. It's been working well for over a year for me. I'd provide pictures but the car is getting painted right now so I don't have it on hand.

HowlerMonkey Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 (edited) I cut up a 280zx tps and left only the "wings" but all the way through. Then I tack welded the 240sx one onto the wings. Works fine and I use it with a M30ecu which requires a potentiometer type TPS. There's plenty of throttle shaft length and I would assume you could go both directions with the mod.

pcakes55 Posted March 15, 2010 Author Share Posted March 15, 2010 Hm..I'll have to check out my TB in the morning, I'm not sure what you guys mean by the "wings" On a side note, do both style TPS's have the same pigtail connectors? (I.E. can they interchange? or are they different all together) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to slightly modify the sensor mounting bracket so it fits the mounting holes on the stock TB. The connectors are different, that is why you need to cut the harness on the junkyard engine so that you have both ends of the connector.

pcakes55 Posted March 17, 2010 Author Share Posted March 17, 2010 Yep I got the TPS and pigtail connector, I'll post a link to a write-up in here when I put it all together for anyone interested how to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
