So Im building a 4 port na bridgeport. So naturally I need to use the turbo intake because there are some major fitment issues between the na intake and the turbo irons. The only main issues Im seeing in doing this are what to do with the BACV, the TPS, and the fact the throttle cable works in reverse to the na intake (Im not sure if this is because the turbo intake came off a car with cruise control). I plan to use an rtek 2.0 with this build so im not sure if this will help anything in the tps department. The TPS is my main concern, BACV after that (would a block off plate work?) and throttle cable last.
All help much appreciated!!!
The BAC is going to be nearly useless with the bridgeport on anything but a standalone. The RTek will not be able to regulate the idle with the BAC, and neither really will a standalone. The function of the BAC will be limited to load compensation and warmup high idle. I don't believe there is a way to disable the idle regulation function in the RTek so you may find you just need to disable the BAC.
Use the TII throttle cable. That's the easiest way.
TPS is the same NA and TII.
You're going to have limited control with the RTek. This sort of application really calls for a full standalone.
Thanks! I think the tps is different, because it is an s4 turbo intake and my car is an s5. Think I'm going to try making an adapter for it and see what happens, or i could just go to an fd upper intake. So can i just make a block off plate to delete the BAC?
don't forget the t2 intake throttle body opening is on the driver side, you will need to make some kind of intake piping /elbow and lengthen the Air flow meter wiring to get it to fit over on that side as well.
there's a few old ones, since not many people make threads anymore they are probably 5+ years old by now.
i switched on my TII years ago, because the turbo cable is mushy once the outer sheath cracks, and it will. i didn't see the point in using a part that was redundantly too long for my setup any longer. if it were an antenna, then it might still have served a purpose...
