So got more done but got a bit stuck on th he drive by wire. I think its because i dont have the latest firmware..
For starters how do you firmware upgrade? Its searching for a file but there is nothing there ?
Otherwise got the pedal and tb working but only for 1 second at a time

LS3 TB and LS3 Holden VF pedel (from same car) TPS is fine, APP1 and APP2 both read fine. TB motor drives up and down, but does error on the pedal soon after.
But as noted that part doesn't mater yet - Im asking about the firmware update then Ill know Im starting from a good platform

Well did the firmware upgrad and the tb is responding better. But the issue is the pedal. Or its wiring?
The error is a voltage corolation error?
Video of the tb calibration

a few points:
1) those throttles and pedals rarely fail. In general they're very robust due to the safety concern. The harness you have in your vehicle for the system could be a different situation.
2) it's highly likely that you are one of the rare customers to try and do a custom electronic throttle setup trying to adapt DBW to a non DBW vehicle (I bet it's 5% max of Elite users). They probably have very limited testing in the market. I would go right to Haltech and have them help you. It's their diagnostic monitors that you are tripping, sort of an aftermarket approximation of what OBD II does on a modern car.
3) Right now you have used parts. In the event that it is a bad part, just buy new ones. You can get a brand new throttlebody for an LS3 Camaro from Rock Auto for $130 USD for example. GM sells millions of these throttlebodies and pedals.

Cheers guys,
I think Ill get another TB and go from there if it doesnt the same thing will then hit up the haltech boards.
EDIT - just bought another TB. Will wait the few weeks for it to get here and will let you know how I get on.

Well good news and bad news....
After stuffing about with every wiring combination i got stuck. There is **** loads of wrong information on the net as well.
Basically found a Pontiac G8 wiring diagram (similar to the holden VE) at the 11th hour and thought. What have i got to lose.
Voltages and directions were not what I expected - but it calibrated and started working.
You ripper!
Fyi.... app1 and app2 run parallel and different ranges. That's primarily what threw me the most.
Bad news. Well spend 300 aud getting a new throttle to australia... (nothing I cant sell again)
But it works

For future reference for the internets when some other poor bugger tries to do this.
This is the Holden VE - WH square plug for the pedal
This is the Holden LS3 throttle body to the holden VE plug type.

Chris, do you know what the FFE setup is for the VR sensor on the tigger. I thought I had the hall but I dont...
Do I make ground the trigger still?

Ok, looks like its a wiring issue - From the E8 to the 1500 the green wire moved from pin b2 to pin b5.
So will switch tonight and see how it goes

The E8 had a common ground for the trigger and home VR. The Sport and Elite have dedicated ground for each. You can use a common ground but you'll need to make the correct selection for the ground reference. Think that would be disabled for the E8 style wiring but I don't have anything in front of me for reference to confirm.

yeah switched the pins and now getting some RPM showing up.
So now next step - seeing if Im getting spark and timing!
Really I need to make up a remote starter - doing this all solo is a pain in the *** at times.
KNONFS: mate the turbo drain is a pain. Going AN fittings I couldnt make it work, just the radius was always not tight enough and clashed with my power steering AN fittings,
Ended up having a custom drain line installed.

So after swapping the wires. Im now getting rpm but its now picking up on the home...
thought it would be simple but there must be a trick.
log and map attached. FFE said the setup was all correct..
Its a VR sensor as well fyi.
