Bought a parts car. 86 turbo 300zx. Plan on swapping into my 86 NA 300zx.
The turbo parts car was missing the throttle positioning sensor.
Can I use my NA throttle body instead of the one off of the turbo car?
If not, will the throttle positioning sensor off of the NA throttle body work on the turbo throttle body?
I've done research but can't find any hard evidence that the parts won't interchange...

Thanks for any help, any other tips on the swap would be very much appreciated.

The TPS is the same as long as both are manual transmission cars.The TB is different on the turbo car.

Going from memory here but I believe the auto TB has an extra roller for the trans, nothing that would keep you from using it. I do not recall the turbo having a larger TB but the 240SX had a larger one that swaps over and is larger.

Thanks for the help guys, I'll just swap the turbo throttle body over and use my NA TPS. Also, the MAF from the turbo might not work for it was lodged into the left front strut tower. (car was in an accident). Can the NA Maf work in the turbo?

Should be the same n/a and turbo.
