Sydneykid…

You generalised and were caught out… Ya get that…

This is my last post…

I’m sorry I ever even came to this forum.

As for the trip to Japan that you say you’re going to pay for…

No need for PM’s… Email me…

We’re off to Toda’s Fightex suspension workshop… (You did say my choice)

All expenses paid by you…

What you’re suggesting would be cool, but honestly… I don’t believe you.

Roy

Nice try... Ha ha ha...

Never know if you don’t ask.

If you would like Toda parts a good prices email me.

I can look after you.

oh and i'd like to ask, what is wrong with them outsourcing parts anyway? For example carrillo rods and shit like that, heavy duting forgings of there rods are known to take over 1000hp, for the price to strength there pretty damn good really. That goes for all the other manufacturers too, they produce in greater numbers than the jap shops, they can therefore lower there prices.

I just dont see the point of the argument really.

Hey Xeron - Love the subtle link

But you are right, there is nothing wrong with outsourcing. It has been happening for ever, and will continue to.

I personally have a problem with companies who outsouce their catalogue, then double the price and give them their flashy names in flashy boxes, and neither corfirm or deny that you can buy the exact same thing from the original manufacturer for half the price. I believe their should be more information available about this, as we all have a budget which limits our performance. I would hope that, Like I and Sydneykid have, is made public (for SAU and SDU forums anyways) about certain products that are available from the original manufacturer, for half the price. A lot of this information is hard to come by, and can save you HEAPS in the long run...

You realise that none of the Japanese make their own injectors?

They are largely all Denso.

I agree with Sydneykid, in general the Japanese often outsource their parts and charge a premium.

Whether Toda do this I can't say but to say that it's not a common practice because Toda do not do it is short sighted.

Nippon Denso is a Japanese company…

The Denso injectors sold by Blitz, HKS & Sard are all priced competitively…

No secret is made as to the origins of these products…

With regard to TODA Products… For the record…

TODA Racing uses the latest design and manufacturing equipment to produce TODA products. All product design is carried out using the IBM CATIA (CAD/CAM/CAE) which is the same system used by Honda, Boeing, Ferrari, and other high technology manufacturers.

All TODA products are manufactured in-house by TODA. Having an in-house manufacturing capability means there are no compromises in design or manufacturing. Product testing is carried using advanced analytical software, engine bench testing (engine dyno), and race testing

    • @Haggerty this is your red flag. In MAP based ECU's the Manifold pressure X RPM calculation is how the engine knows it is actually...running/going through ANY load. You are confusing the term 'base map' with your base VE/Fuel table. When most people say 'base map' they mean the stock entire tune shipped with the ECU, hopefully aimed at a specific car/setup to use as a base for beginning to tune your specific car. Haltech has a lot of documentation (or at least they used to, I expect it to be better now). Read it voraciously.
    • I saw you mention this earlier and it raised a red flag, but I couldn't believe it was real. Yes, the vacuum signal should vary. It is the one and only load signal from the engine to the ECU, and it MUST vary. It is either not connected or is badly f**ked up in some way.
    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
