IMPORTANT NOTICE
The Moderation Team here at NewTriton have decided to take the unusual step of moderating within an existing post. This step has been taken in order to preserve the open nature of this forum whilst still achieving a level of responsibility to members to provide sound information.
We feel it is important that people who may be considering this modification be fully aware of the known limitations and risks associated with its installation.
Members are advised that this modification, as described in this thread, is not the preferred method. The original poster of this thread, GLX-R Alex has copied this idea from other threads where it was previously mentioned without incorporating important information later posted in those threads.
These threads are here (3 pages), and here (2 pages).
There is also quite a good deal of information about an alternative product in the Platinum Section, for those members who support the forum through their membership.
The Moderation Team feel that it is important to note the following:
1. This modification, while it may work in some vehicles, in some circumstances, has not been tested on a range of different vehicles in different conditions. It is known that the resistance value is incorrect for MN Tritons and late model Pajeros.
2. It is known that this modification may not work at higher altitudes or in extremely cold conditions or it may cause issues with the Engine ECU by mis-reporting to an excessive degree.
3. In vehicles running high states of tune this modification could prevent the throttle butterfly from closing when required to prevent over-run. Over-run is a condition where the engine revs uncontrollably and can lead to engine destruction.
4. Execution of this modification, as explained in this post, may lead to failure of the resistor and/or the connections. Members are advised to read the links above wherein far better and more reliable methods of installation are explained.
5. This modification, altering a pollution control device, is illegal, as with all such modifications. Any member who undertakes to instal this modification does so at their own risk.
As mentioned in other threads I thought I would give the ET (electronic trickery) mod on my current auto ML triton. I've fully blanked the EGR at the exhaust manifold but you can feel the intake butterfly varying on constantly trying to suck EGR gas in. It actually affects driving.
Today I carried out this little mod with great results. I believe it tricks the ecu with the air box temp sensor that it is actually low temperature and the EGR never functions.
My overall impression after carrying out this mod was worth while. The truck actually feels a little more spritely and punchier off the mark. The throttle buttery is now totally stagnant and fully open all the time. I can observe this on the Scangauge. It has removed that closed throttle dead spot when taking off. The shutdown function off the butterfly is totally un affected. Maybe it's adding extra fuel for the low temps.
Here the circuit diagram showing the simple resistor n the Black/Blue wire if the intake sensor.
6K8 resistor sourced from Jaycar electronics. 45c for the whole pack.
Locate and cut the Black/Blue wire
Bit of shrink wrap on the wire first.
Solder resister in place. Orientation doesn't matter.
Shrink the tube over with a lighter
Re wrap the cable with some black tape factory style.
Can't be seen.
See TPS number on scangauge. Reads now a constant 99 which means throttle butterfly wide open. Previously it would vary constantly anywhere between 20 and 99 as the EGR system was operating.
I think it's a worthwhile mod for 45c and stops the damn limp modes.
Carry out at your own risk.
Sharing is caring.
let us know how she goes
:lol: Oh the confusion!
