Is it on then, with a sort of black round bit Jamie?

 

It could be the TPS

[jamie porter]

phil yeah its kind of oval black plastic 3 pin plug kind of thing lol is it needed ? as my ecu doesnt have a plug to go to it ?

I thought R1 were injected

What ecu have you got Jamie?

you will need it if it's the throttle position sensor (TPS) to alter the fueling in relation to engine rpm and throttle position for better drive ability and throttle response

[jamie porter]

hi kev i got it from sbd developments its an ignition only ecu and it has only got a coil lead crank sensor and a few wires for rev counter and shift light

What model ecu is it m8?

 

There are instructions on the SBD website

nah early ones were carb fed the r1 carbs are getting pricey now, an alternative is zx6-r carbs- same 38mm chokes and TPS too

[KJ 1320]

If it's the 9A4i model which is a ignition only model,you can run it without a TPS but it will work better with (3D mapped).

The wiring loom you've got is to run it without but you can add it to it,as the ecu will support a TPS input.

yeah there the early type of r1 carb (definatly carbs i made the mistake of buying throttle bodies last time ) im not sure how to check the only serial numbers i have are

 

65/7250

loom 967I

 

think thats all the numbers i can see on the invoice

[KJ 1320]

Ok Jamie the ecu type you have is a 967, going by your loom id.

it will work without the TPS m8
