  1. This is so awesome! I'm living vicariously through you and I hope you don't mind. The trumpets or velocity stacks facilitate airflow into the engine by smoothing out the air flowing in. Some people say they're pretty critical but if I remember right the filter might perform that role in their place. The TPS should be just like any other TPS. As in, less than a volt at closed throttle and close to 5V at WOT. Unless it's simply a closed throttle switch but I've never come across that personally, though that doesn't mean it doesn't exist. You can check it with a DVOM set on resistance by connecting the meter and sweeping the throttle. If it's goes from X(random number) ohms to OL then it's a switch. If it smoothly changes from one value to another it's a regular TPS. Being that it's a 3 wire sensor it's likely a regular TPS. Hope that helps and trust I'm not trying to be a jerk! I just wanna see this baby in action! Have you ever heard an ITB car in person? It's pure sex!!!

  2. +driving 4 answers (mr2 mk1 hero) I think this debate is like what a tech defines a throttle body as vs what an engineer defines a throttle body as. I'm a tech so for me anything carbureted has carbs, anything injected has throttle bodies. So which side are you on D4A? The guys who design and engineer this stuff and rarely have to work on it, or the guys in the trenches who have to figure out to make this stuff live in the real world? How you answer will decide your future from here on out. Are you with us, or... J/K! Who really cares?! Its to-may-toe vs. to-mah-toe! As long we know what the other means we'll get along fine.

  3. Oh, and for testing you connect at the ground and signal wires. I get too pumped up when you put out a new vid!

  4. To answer this question we should look up the SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) definition. For our purposes here of education they are the source for what's what.

  5. +driving 4 answers (mr2 mk1 hero) don't sweat it my friend! I've been a tech for a long time and don't know everything. Nobody can. That's why we have service information!

  6. +DanST Performance Engineering LTD thanks for not calling me a hack! A K&N advert is where I read the deal about the filter smoothing airflow. I shouldn't be believing ads. I'll slap my hand for that.

  7. +Michael Pangburn carbs have throttle plates... and power valves, or throttle injection pumps. Choose your own nomenclature. I still know what you mean.
