mondc95ba Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 Before I go searching through I/O Diagrams for the FG/BF/BA Throttle Body and Part information has anyone converted a FG Throttle Body to work on a BA/BF ECU/PCM? If so, can you post up a how-to and what is required additionally software side to calibrate for voltage ranges (if they change), stepper motor PWN changes, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roland@pcmtec Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 I've been told you can simply swap them. Though I've never done the swap and have never compared the two, so the information I was given might be wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeerTurbo Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 I bought a wiring adapter, and was going to install one one mine.... but never got around to it. so this is proberly not helpful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mondc95ba Posted June 9, 2020 Author Share Posted June 9, 2020 Made my own harness for next to nothing and can confirm it works. Now to make the adapter plate with countersunk screws to have it reach the same thickness as a BA\BF throttle body anyway.🤦♂️ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 Yes can confirm the adaptor cable you can buy will work I'm running the FG Plenum and FG throttle body on a SY2 Territory adaptor cable plugs straight in and works no issues at all 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm about to put a fg throttle one mine and comparing things that seem vastly different are : AUF0077 - Convert pedal position to des ETC angle AUF0083 Desired throttle angle as per pedal position AUF0084 b as above couple of smaller things like throttle count wide open etc are marginally different Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't looked at these settings myself, but if the table axis are the same i'd assume you'd just have to copy the FG tables to the BA if you want the "feel" of an FG throttle. Stepper motors are controlled very similarly, just the nature of how snappy and responsive they feel is different between models. Happy to be corrected if I am wrong on this.

BeerTurbo Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 for notice, I have a fg TB and FG intake on a bf motor.. I noticed if I let it idle it would start hunting (rev up and down) but i knew the alt was not charging so figured it might be related. Last night was i able to get it to have some temp, iv started it numerous times cold no problem. Warm starts it would stall instantly. I noticed it was opening TB for start, then basically closing it.. commanding less than 1 percent blade angle. When holding the throttle down you could make it idle and the blade would be somewhere in the high 2, sometimes 3 degree mark. AUF0082 - open loop feed forward throttle angle predictions. This table is vastly different BF/FG and with the FG setting the car started and idled spot on. Ive just now noticed AUF1249 pressure drop table might also be worth having FG settings from. so far most of the petal/throttle angle settings altho they look different, or are setup differently have verry close to same reactions. so just changing a b-series tb for a fg one may infact just work. perhaps the airmas tables change due to the intake manifold change. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate the engine crossover. I cant speak for power upgrades as i dont have a dyno. I figure both tb are same size so no need to change, but fg is more slimline so it might suit more people applications. In my head i figgure the plastic intake is cooler and less prone to engine bay heat soak to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puffwagon Posted October 30 Share Posted October 30 (edited) That's on a turbo car then? I have a plastic intake etc that I could chuck on my na territory but I don't know if I wanna do a whole bunch of swapping for stuff all. I suppose the plastic one might have lower iats than the metal one tho. Edit: Ford wouldn't have changed it for no reason lol Edited October 30 by Puffwagon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The air moves so fast I don't believe there is any real IAT differences that affect it at stock power levels. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puffwagon Posted November 1 Share Posted November 1 I was looking at the various na power levels between 2006 and 2009 cars and they are 182kw, 190kw and 195kw. I haven't looked at all the tunes yet and obviously this where you'd start to look for more power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
