Default Solid answer on Q45 TB on GTE ECU...

Ok starting to finish up my na-t finally, and need a 90mm TB without cutting off my arm. I have been searching and reading usless threads for 2 days now, and cannot find a solid answer regarding the Q45 TPS. As some may know, I will be running my NA-T on a GTE ecu, but would like to know if the GTE ecu is able to PROPERLY recognize the Q45 TPS, and I also need a wire diagram.

I know there is an adapter available, but my current budget is limited due to starting a completely different part of my SC's build, but until that time (after the new year) I need my SC on the road. SO, if there is anyway possible to run the Q45 TPS on the GTE ecu please let me know. All I have found in my search so far is a bunch of yes's and no's, but no SOLID answer.

I guess Im just going to have to order one and see what I can work out. Im just concerned about different delivery signal from the Q45 TPS compared to the stock TPS.

I would run the adapter if using a stock gte ecu, it will be more accurate.
the nissan one can work and should be close but you will have to adjust it

Just a FYI, the Q45 TB is not really a 90mm, I dont know who started this whole 90mm thing but its all over the internet. The OD measures 90mm, the ID, which is what matters measures 85mm. Its still a nice upgrade and the TPS will work from what I understand. I happen to have one setting around as well.

I know the ID isnt 90mm, but it should suffice for what I am doing. Im not sure where it all started either, guess knowledge is the key

when i put my q45 TB on my intake manifold, i just used the greddy TPS adapter, so that way i could just use the stock TPS, use thread lock because the little allens will back out

Im trying to avoid ordering the TPS adapter cause I am currently starting to work on some other things for my SC, but I guess being a cheap*** isnt going to do me any good

I'm going to order the adapter tomorrow just to skip the haggle, plus my SC hasnt seen pavement in almost 4 months now, and its time to get her back on the road.
