yantosh Posted November 30, 2019 Share Posted November 30, 2019 I,ve got a TL motor here, which I thought was an S, also an S ECU, but my throttle bodies are from an R cam position sensors, stator assembly, rotor assembly, are the same for both models, does anyone know of any reason why I couldn,t use an R ECU , throttle bodies and loom on an S engine ?

yantosh Posted November 30, 2019 Author Share Posted November 30, 2019 The only thing that might not fit is the plug of the gear Sensor, depends of the year your TLS engine is from. 97 and early 98 midels had a 2-pin plug, later ones a 3-pin like a TLR has. Bit easy to change, the additional wire is a ground cable.You also need TLR intake rubbers to fit the TLR throttle bodies.Thats it. the book of face says this Quote Link to comment
Matt-Man Posted November 30, 2019 Share Posted November 30, 2019 You can plug in a TRE into that which helps with the running... TLS rubber manifolds are smaller than the TLR units, good luck getting the screws out too, they’re more than often seized and made from cheese so a good whack to shock the threads and some penetrating oil helps. TLS throttle bodies had only 1 injector per inlet where as TLR has 2 per pot, they’re also independent with the second injector coming into play as and when required for additional fuelling so using TLR throttle bodies and ECU with a TLS loom won’t work. You’ll need a TLR main loom if you want to use them. In all honesty the TLS Throttle bodies and injectors are more than man enough unless you bore the motor to 1080. You can use the TLR engine with the TLS loom, ECU, and TLS throttle bodies and it works ok, TLR motors make a a tad more power but the cams are for Top-end running, TLS motors give better mid-range some if it’s grunt you’re after the TLS motor is the better of the two. if you need a TLS ECU and Throttle bodies give me a holler. Ive got a 97 ‘00’ ECU for grabs.... That’s the pre-recall unit.... Give me a call if you wanna chat some stuff through. 07786254709 2 Quote Link to comment

Post a pic of the Oil filter area of your engine. Can tell you if it’s an S or an R motor from that. 1 Quote Link to comment

I,ll grab the ECU on Tue and try and confirm its model, is there any physical diff between the S & R ? all i need is a matching set of ECU , bodies and loom , trying to shoestring build thanks for your help Quote Link to comment

TLR has a water cooled heat exchanger that sits directly between the oil filter and the crank cases, it has 2 x pipes protruding. The crankcases where on the TLS the oil cooler take-offs would be should be undrilled on the TLR. Edited December 1, 2019 by Blubber 1 Quote Link to comment

yantosh Posted December 1, 2019 Author Share Posted December 1, 2019 thanks for that, really good to know. best double check my ECU , bit of luck it will be too Quote Link to comment
yantosh Posted December 2, 2019 Author Share Posted December 2, 2019 been hunting the internerd all night trying to see if this is an R ECU, rather than an S..... with conflicting results anyone know better than me? Quote Link to comment

I’m 99.99% certain that’s the 1997 TL1000S 1st Gen, pre-recall ECU I’m afraid! 1 Quote Link to comment
yantosh Posted December 4, 2019 Author Share Posted December 4, 2019 yup, a breaker up by Inverness is PXing it for one from an R, hopefully get the loom off him too Quote Link to comment
