rwdwiganer Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 My 2JZGTE RX7 is 90% finished, just trying to sort out any little last problems now! Having a few problems getting my carbon bonnet to clear a sensor on the side of the standard throttle body. Does anyone know what this sensor is and is it possible to just unbolt it and fit a blanking plate or not? I was thinking it has something to do with traction control but I really don't know! It is the sensor part to the side with the grease on top in the photo: See the fullsize version at: http://s1295.photobucket.com/albums/b640/rwdwiganer/?action=view¤t=9DCE2BF1-8338-4BCA-AF25-1B6111122D15-14301-00000E69E7B4EEC3_zps3b8af336.jpg&evt=user_media_share My engine was from an Aristo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
add heywood Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 Looks like where the traction control is on mine but looks a bit different. Maybe something to do with cruise control...? Bin it anyway as its mot needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rwdwiganer Posted July 2, 2013 Author Share Posted July 2, 2013 I know it looks different to that on a Supra, do you think I will be fine simply unbolting it from the side and fitting a custom made plate and gasket to make a cover where the sensor was?

add heywood Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 Are you in wigan...? I think i have a spare jspec tt throttle body you can have that doesn't have that bit on. You would just need your own tps to put on it from your old one. But yes you will be fine doing that with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wez Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 I had the whole assembly chopped off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy442 Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 Yeah thats the TRC sub throttle and sensor. If youre not running TRC you can remove it and weld the holes up. It might throw an error code though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rwdwiganer Posted July 2, 2013 Author Share Posted July 2, 2013 Thanks for all your help! Yes I live in Wigan. I won't be running TRC- I will be running full stand alone management anyway after I have run the engine in! I like the idea of chopping the whole assembly off like Wez has, was yours from an Aristo? There is a flap inside and am I right thinking I can remove this too? Sorry I know my replies aren't very technical I'm no mechanic! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy442 Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 Yeah theres another throttle butterfly in there and yes you can remove it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
