How do I mount a TPS sensor on a Weber DCOE?

Post by RdSnake »

I'm looking for tips, designs or parts that will enable me to mount a TPS on a DCOE carb. Also, what would be the best TPS to use in terms of having the same amount of sweep as the DCOE and ease of mounting. TIA

If your application could use MAPdot as the AE triggering method, you might want to try that. Most apps using Webers are quite nonlinear re MAP/throttle opening. At low revs, a 15% opening of the throttles usually results in 100 kPa MAP w/ attendant AE requirements. Oh, and hardware wise, it's much easier as you already have a MAP sensor.

Application will be with MS-II v 3.0. The Webers will be used as throttle bodies and not be used for fuel delivery. The plan is to mount fuel injectors externally firing into the chokes..... :)
