First, the reason I am thinking of doing this is because I have a set of electronically controlled hand controls (guidosimplex) in my car (see my thumbnail). Having a direct link to the throttle body via electronic interface would make a smoother and more responsive throttle control for my purposes.
That said: What would be involved to switch over to an electronic throttle body? Assuming I could mate up to the manifold or have a custom manifold made to fit whatever throttle body I use, what would be required on the tuning side to talk to my M4.4 ecu for throttle position? Is there anything else necessary to consider other than throttle position?
Also, how would that work as far as running signal from a pedal inside the cockpit for when my mechanic drives it? Do I need to change my gas pedal or could I rig a signal from that pedal?
Ideally I want a TB that works using a potentiometer for the signal, so recommendations for a suitable throttle body would be helpful also.
It's been a while since I have been on the forum. So hello to all the people I haven't talked to in a while, also to the new members. Thank you in advance for all helpful advice and recommendations.
