Hey guys,

Looking to get my limiter fitted before the next DECA but am unsure where to go as the instructions are entirely in Japanese, and it would probably require someone who knows the Supra wiring loom.

Also I'm aware this does NOTHING for my car, if anything probably puts the engine at more risk, but f**k it. I want to go to a couple of DECAs with a straight pipe, ignition cut and make some noise. After a few events I'll pull it out and sell it.

Cheers.

Come on it can't be that bad for the car. From what I've read its not worse than bouncing the limiter off the normal fuel cut (which admittedly is pretty bad anyway). I'm not going to sit there bouncing for shits and giggles, it'll just be when I hit the limiter as we all do at DECA, only this time with noise and flames.

Plus its a healthy stock NA 2JZ, nearly impossible to break one of those.

P.S. Thanks for the info on Edge, I'll call them tomorrow.

no, it's not the same as bouncing off the stock limiter at all. there are MANY people that have lost motors due to these things

it's an ignition cut limiter, hence the bangs.

the main cause of engine failure is a dead oil pump from the vibrations caused by the bangbangbang, which as you can imagine is not the best thing to happen while you are redlining it.

Fair enough, thanks for the warning. I always assumed the problems came from unburnt fuel passing through a white hot turbo and potentially detonating in there. Meaning my NA would be relatively safe from that sort of problem.

Shame though, would've been a lot of fun.

Do you? im yet to see any, spend more time with the car parked at a kabab shop with the autosalon crowed

Who the f**k are you? Since I don't know you and you drive old pieces of shit your comments mean nothing to me :)

Not 100% True a friend with r31 Stock as a rock sept for a upgraded clutch and welded Diff and a Bee-r got 5mph Better using it for flat shifting then his old PB other then that it prob useless i would have gone with the Gizzmo launch control that does the same things there is a vid on fullboost somewhere of my old evo 6 running it

Well you don't know me. And never seen me drive. Sonit would be quite clear that you haven't seen shit. My car is parked at bp for no more then 10 minutes till we fuel up and leave and meet up with mates. Are you one of those guys that rocks up on a Friday night alone and goes driving up and down

    • The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.
    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
