s13 tps/ Throttle body

[240life]

Whats going on guys, I got a SR related question that I can not find an answer to. My friend and I both own S13 blacktop motors, I was looking at another motor-set (also s13 BT) when I thought the T/B and tps looked awkward on this engine and my friends. What I saw was the tps resting on 2 perches and the arm was clearly visible, where as mine is completely inserted into the t/b with no visible moving pieces. I always thought that s13 sr's used the same throttle body. All 3 of these engines are running e5 ecu's and my tps and T/B is clearly different then the other 2. ...I guess what I am looking for is any information some of you might have buried in your heads, because all my research is leading no where, except that I might be running a s14 T/b.

You may be running a S14 throttle body cause my s13 red top looks like the bottom picture with the exposed part. But on my red top there is actually a plastic cover that goes over all of that to keep any stuff out.

Thats what Im thinking too. Im going to have to find a s13 one then because the s14 T/b opening is a few mm smaller, it also explains why I ordered a s13 Throttle position sensor that wouldn't fit.

Yeah the bottom one is definitely S13 and that first one is definitely an S14 throttle body, however it looks like it has an S13 throttle pulley installed.
