Where do I find an electronic throttle lever

[pdriussi]

Hi all

 

I am wondering if any fellow forum users may know where I could find a suitable throttle lever which is electronic, to control an electronic throttle body on a 2004 Subaru EZ30D "R".

 

I am building up an the above engine with a LINK ECU from our NZ neighbours and installing it into a Zenith CH-801.

 

If you would need some more info please let me know.

 

If you would like to see a log of my build which also has a bit of info on my engine so far check out my blog,

Cheers,

You are better off looking at a accelerator pedal from late model car. Must make sure it's compatible with your ecu and throttle body.

older throttle position sensors are just a resistor, but the ECU could be expecting a CANBUS one

All depends what that type of ecu is looking for.

 

A lot are different.

Yes. I have a Subaru acc pedal however i was hoping to find something that does not have a return to zero spring. If possible, something that i can mount without modifying. But as a last resort i do have the subaru pedal.

 

The ECU i have has a separate throttle controller which hard wires to the ECU. Acc pedal input goes to ECU then the controller drives the throttle butterfly.

 

Thanks

The ECU is very adaptable as it is a programmable after market system.

I have also considered replacing the throttle body with a manual system that has a throttle position sensor but not sure how that would affect the ECU maps? Unfortunately i only have very limited ECU knowledge so happy to receive any advice at this stage.

 

Thanks
