Getting rid of the DBW system...

xxdynhamikxx · 05-06-2008, 08:59 PM

Well I'm waiting for kpro until the end of summer and if its not out I'm wanting to get rid of my drive by wire system and switch to a Type-S set up. Is this possible? And if so, what other parts do I need besides the following?:

Typ-s throttle body
Type-s throttle cable
type-s ecu w/kpro

Thanks for any info.

How are you planning on hooking up the type-s ecu?

The wiring harness is gonna look like spaghetti with chunks of solder meatball if he can pull this off.

^totally make more sense to me rather then spending all the extra money to turn it into a type S.

I just did the throttle body bypass mod this weekend and it really has helped the smoothness of the DBW system. Its not really a power adder mod, just makes the car much smoother. Try it before you go through all that work.

Bro, not for nothing but ur in for a lot more than what ur thinking.. get the reflash and call it a day.. if u really need a programmable ecu ur better off going with a piggyback setup.

I'm not sure if you're talking about the LX with the Type R motor. Because that's the only one I saw that converted to cable.
