I just got a swap... But the TPS sensor was damaged upon delivery... Its a GSR motor and trans which i wanna get gon the road asap...

My friend whose a Honda-Tech(nician) LOL said they are a pain in the *** and I should just replace the whole throttle body... problem is most of the ones i see dont even come with TPS's... Doesnt even look like ANY of the aftermarket throttle bodies come with TPS's

im tryna save some money here...

What would Jesus do?

 

Can you use the one thats on your current motor?

 

Its a D16y7 will it work?

you dont need to replace the whole throttle body, thats the easy yet expensive way out. hopefully, you didnt swap in your new motor yet so it will be easier to dremel off the rivets that hold your existing tps onto the tb.

i would locate an OEM tps on ebay or in a junkyard, any b series will work. d series tps will not work. ive had bad experiences with aftermarket tps, they always throw a code at higher rpm.

 

damn, cuz i was definitely bout to order one from Blox...

I gotta dremel the TPS? no screws or nuts like everything else in the world?

 

There are two flat screws that hold the tps in. Take a dremel and and cut a grove in the screws and use a flat head screwdrive to remove. You can the take the screws to your local hardware store and replace with an allen if possible this will make it easier to adjust when its in the engine compartment. An easy way to set it is try to get it close to where the one was that you removed. Then start the car and adjust until it the car idles and accelorates smothly. If you have a multimeter you can set with that also wich this would be the best way to do it

 

just save yourself the headache and a buy another throttle body... "the cheapest mechanic pays the most"

 

Thats precisely what I decided to do...

Next question... Will an LS throttlebody do the job?

 

edelbrock sells throttle bodies with tps

 

I bought a TPS from password jdm for $40 shipped, drilled out the rivets holding the OEM TPS in place, replaced the rivets with allen head's adjusted the tps to 0.5 volts closed throttle and 4.5~4.7 volts WOT and haven't had a problem since. The voltages may be different for a gsr.. i was working on a ls.

 

Where would i find the voltages for a GSR TPS... the Haynes manual recommends just replacing the whole throttlebody... But ima check in there to see if I can find out the voltage I need...

How do you "adjust" the voltage??? Cuz even my friend whose a honda tech told me to just buy another throttle body...


And Geezer thanks for the suggestion... But those are a lil too pricey... If im going to spend $300+ on something for this swap... Its gonna be a race header to actually make some power...

But even then i dont wanna do that cuz im going boost as soon as i get in this motor in my car...

 

bump

 

did you find the place to check the tps voltage yet? i can look it up if you still need it.

 

same porblem here, good thread

 

hahaha! they are a pain in the ****....Order one Inline4, Dave always keeps them in stock...
