Can anyone identify this TPS alternative.

I've been trying to find something that will work as a full resolution TPS. I'm going to be running an AEM EMS-4 standalone and would rather have this type of throttle position sensor as opposed to the crappy plunger we're normally stuck with.

That's the standard rotary type, and should work with your computer. You can buy that thing anywhere.

except for the custom bracket, the proper adjustment slots, the plug to match the new connector and the modified throttle cam to accept it all with the loss to the double throttle. aside from that, i suppose it would work. most haltech users are forced to deal with this.

Well I think I found a pretty straightforward solution to this problem. Hopefully people can reference this in the future if they need a full resolution TPS set up that isn't too hard to make or instal.

For this set up to work I had to delete the OMP arm(S4 mani and T.B.) and of course the TPS adjuster levers.

Pic of the parts we're getting rid of:


As a donor, I used a TPS and lever off of a FD throttle body. Those are the only tow parts you will need to source, then it's just a matter of making a bracket. But here's a pic of all the parts you will be using and in the order they will be inserted or mounted:


I'll try to take a pic tonight of all the parts on the shaft.

Here's the shaft assembly all put together(just for clarification this is going on the same shaft that is connected to the throttle cable):




And here's where it'll basically mount up, just need to make some brackets:




Hope fully this'll be helpful to others in the future. Just a matter of finding a FD T.B. donor
