What 's up guys?

I am having a small problem. Has anyone used a SMIM with a after market throttlebody, and retained the Idle speed control?

If so, are you using a standalone to control this or are you using some other method.


Thanks
 
Idle Speed Controller is on a throttle body, not the SMIM. So if you used a sMIM and 63mm ported 1g, you could keep the idle speeed. As for larger than that aftermarket throttle bodies, maybe someone with experience on those could chime in?
 
what throttle body do you plan to use? you do not need the isc for the car to idle. I removed mine weeks ago and now use the bliss to control the idle and I am very happy with it.
 
I know Hal Leandry has been using a Q45 TB for a while, you could ask him if all else fails.
 
Idle control is handled with the idle set screw on the throttle body and it's integral FIAV is used for cold start "fast idle".

The car is equipped with DSMLink.

Hal. Do you know how do wire up the tps for the q45, so that it will work with the eclipse wiring harness.

Yes, but site rules prohibit me from discussing it.

I assume thats why my previous post "disappeared".

How so? We promote healthy technical discussions here. Hell - that's this site's purpose.

See post #7.

There is only one deleted post in this entire thread, and it's one of my own.
 
oops

My apologies, I had this confused with a different thread on another site.

My solution involves the use of a adapter which allows the DSM TPS to be bolted directly to the Q45 throttle body.

That makes the TPS "plug'n'play"

I make/sell the adapters

No, but the level of fabrication need to use it is beyond what most people can do.

Reflange the manifold, relocate the manifold cable bracket, tps adaptation, use/remove it's integral FIAV.
