@Stefan Etter Do you have any logs of commanded throttle position vs actual from an ECU, especially at low openings? I'm interested in the control response of this setup under high vacuum conditions specifically for stable idle control. the E46 M3 engine that had a similar setup used an idle control valve for fine airflow adjustment, but it appears there is no auxillary idle air control in this system.

main observations are linkage gain at low openings appear to be quite high (linkage is tangential to actuator arm at low openings) and significant shaft area due to the 6 throttles have a potential to introduce significant stiction. if you have calculated a linkage gain curve for the assembly that would be interesting to see.

Motor Pivot Lever length & angle was just temp for that video, Theres no need to show exactly how the main components are. Even now theres no need to show entirely how our parts look on the website, you know as well as i do theres always someone out there who just wants the fine details. ( Call me paranoid haha )

But rest assured the Length and angle of the motor pivot lever are perfectly setup for fine adjustment of the idle.

Contact me at [email protected] if you’d like some more details. Would happily do a video call to show you at some stage as well mate.

Have you seen the new Demo Video on youtube or out Facebook page?

I understand where you're coming from regarding release of info. you've sunk a lot of time into the R&D of this and are correct to protect your IP as the value lies in the design rather than the fabrication.

don't mind me, I'm just a nosy engineer that has been burned before by the performance aftermarket so like to evaluate things myself.

Glad you understand, I feel it’s always easy to show more than you really need to and have the info get into the hands of the wrong people ( Again me being paranoid haha ) but your absolutely right!

Oh its fine man, appreciate the questions and curiosity in our products from you. 

Yea i’ve seen it time & time again, poor quality, products come not as described, half the parts missing even though it supposed to be a “KIT”.... some manufactures don’t understand the word KIT i think. and i hate it because the end user is always the one who suffers. But hey i can’t change anyone else’s products so i will just make sure i do my job right and satisfy my customers which is  important to me & to deliver top quality products that function from the get go, with no head scratching involved! 

Like i said though, feel free to get in touch! Take Care 

Regards 
Stefan

    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
