My D16Y8 has a sensor on the bottom similar to those on the RSX throttle bodys... I attemped to install it using, just the MAP and TPS with the 3rd one disconnected, and it won't idle properly, it sounds like the engine is messed up and misfiring... Is there a way to get around this sensor or not?

 

Is your car and automatic by any chance?

 

Yes it is

 

I'm guessing Autos can't do the GSR Swap or is there a way for it to be done?

 

I think autos have the idle something or other sensor somewhere not the same as manuals.

 

Auto Y8's use a 3-wire IACV which was mounted on the throttle body. GS-R's do not. Auto ECU's will never control a 2-wire IACV and vice-versa.

 

you should have done your research first, my brother made the same stupid mistake, but now the car is manual

 

I did searching... all I found was H- series, B series and D series are swappable... nothing ever said only manual or doesn't apply to autos...

damn this sucks, I'm stuck selling a GSR Throttle Body now. I guess my only real option to a throttle body upgrade is getting my stocker bored out to 60mm.

 

how bout dont waist your money on a bigger throttle body cuz an automatic y8 aint goin no where

sorry but its true

 

yo let me buy that throttle body off you

 

you can convert from a 3 wire to a 2 wire i heard, look around for the y8 intake manifold swap, someone did it.

Of course you can because at that point you would have replaced the ECU, modified the wiring to accomadate a 2-wire IACV, and of course installed the 2-wire IACV itself....all of which he doesn't want/can't do.
