Default Adding two throttle bodies...

Ok yes.... i know it sounds completely ridiculous; i'm not an idiot. Don't ask because I wont tell you what i'm doing yet.


However... i'm not familiar with the TPS. Theoretically... if the stock throttle body is at WOT and a second throttle body is say 1/4 open. How will this **** up the car. Infact;i've s/c'ed and replaced the intakemanifold and still dont remember any sensor on the throttle body.

Once againI knowthis is ridiculous as of now... but I just want to know how the car would react inthe above situation, and maybe a way to remedy the problem it would cause.

The TPS sits at the back err kinda the side of the throttle body. Its a little square kinda long thing thats held into the throttle body by 2 screws.

The TPS sensor gets a voltage reading depending on how much the little recess in it is twisted... If you have ever taken it off you know what I am talkign about. it reads between around 0.50volts to 5.0volts. I dont think it could be done if you had two at different settings and running on the same computer.

Are you going to but a motor in your trunk also along with one under your hood, make it AWD with two 4.6's? You can do it just put a Ford GT transmission on both motors. Or are you going to make it like the GT-R concept motor? that would be bad ***, but you should have them open at the same rate... What are you going to do????

I'm building something no one has ever thought of. I know exactly how to do it; it would be a hell of a lot easier using two throttle bodies instead of modifying the exising one. That's all i'm going to say... I can do it using the existing throttle body but it creates potential problems instead of the device using its own stand alone throttle body.

Pretty much it just uses a potentiometer to vary the voltage. What does the TPS control; Does it effect the A/F ratio.

I suppose if I used dual TPS sensors with some sort of microchipcomparator taking whatever voltage is lowest would work too.

I know i've dealt with it before... im gonna take it apart tomorrow and see how I want to go about this. It's a matter of how I want to present the patent.

Sorry... as much as I'd like to share; not letting it out until the patent is atleast pending. [&:] I'm not worried about you taking the idea and going somewhere... but once its out there anyone has access to it.
