For Those Trying To Attach A Tps To A Dellorto

[Stu 18]

Hi all,

 

The next 'phase' of work on my car is to swap from injection over to 45's and MEgajolt. I opted for the TPS type of 'jolt as i felt it a better option longterm.

 

So, the challenge was on to mount the TPS onto one of the 45's. There is a kit available, but at £60odd plus vat and delivery i opted to make one up myself.

 

So, firstly, find a TPS. This one came from a Rover of all things, and uses the same 'drive' as the stock Bosch one.

 

Id already sent my spare Mi manifold off to Mr Satchell so had a spare Mi t/b that was shagged, this donated its throttle spindle which was cut down, and turned down to this:

 

 

Then turned up an adapter from the throttle spindle of the '45 to this. M7 thread to the carb, the other end drilled at the edges to accomodate some grub screw to lock the cut down spindle in place. Bolts to the carb like such:

 

 

Then fab'd up a bracket to bolt the TPS to the carb:

 

 

 

And fitted the TPS.

 

 

 

Hope this helps!

What is megajolt and what does it do.

Ive noticed it quite alot on here.

[hexhamstu 9]

it is a cheap aftermarket management system.

As above, the Megajolt is an ignition-only, 3D mappable system. The hardware can be bought in kit form for self assembly (and hence cheaper) or built and tested (like i bought mine ).

 

Ive got a V4 setup, which is the new generation of board and surface mount stuff, all the info you need can be found here:
