After installing the 1G TB, I decided to get my logger up-n-running again to see what the TPS was seeing. WOT looks good at 100 percent, but that's the only thing I was looking at. After seeing this recent thread I decided to talk to Steve privately. He told me with utilizing a 2G TPS "it's still an issue of adjusting it based on where the internal IPS switches." So I looked around and found this thread and this thread.
Steve mentioned that the guide in PlymouthLaser was (somewhat) incorrect. That I already knew. It only gets us in the ballpark range.
I decided to ask Paul (99gst_racer) about his TB setup and how he went about it. He was also unsure, but is also currently in the same boat, needing to properly adjust his. Have asked a few locals but I'm throwing it out there for now. I'm wondering how I go about properly setting my TPS (as opposed to Paul's or Joe Schmo's). I know I have to set it in terms of resistance, but as Steve said, every car is different. Thought I would just be able to use the logger to get it where I wanted it, but that only works for the 1G TPS.
I still don't fully understand the reason as to why setting the TPS to my engine's specific needs is, because I'm seeing WOT right where I need it, and I don't care much about idle (so long as it stays between 700-1100K) or light throttle conditions.
I must say though, since doing the install, the throttle (under 15% or so) is very on-or-off. Just thought it was my cable that needed more adjusting. (Which I think it does anyways.)
