j5 Posted April 14, 2003 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2003 Found answers to using U.S. Ford TPS in an Aussi. TB. Most of the TPS I have found turn clockwise compared to the Aussi which turn counter clockwise. I talked to Jim at Electromotive he said you can make the US clockwise turning TPS work by preloading the spring if equiped like the Ford TPS install it pre loaded and switch the Two outside wires inputing to the ECU. That is some lateral thinking there don't you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbo26tsi Posted May 4, 2003 Report Share Posted May 4, 2003 I had the same troubles and i wasn't happy with the aussie TB anyway so What I ended up doing is switching to a better TB setup on my magna MPI. I used a 65mm 97 up ford mustang GT TB with TPS. It takes a little work. You have to redrill the mount holes to make it mate up with the aussie flange, and a little JB weld on the edge of the idler hole, but it looks alot nicer than the old aussie unit, and it easy to come by, I purchased mine on ebay for $24 which included the TPS. The TPS is great cause it is wired up the exact same as the GM unit which the SDS uses. http://www.tristarion.com/images/carpics/1051837397.jpg I can help anyone out more if they decide to go this route. good luck, Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
