Hi! anyone here who has Toyo and Nitto tyres on their car? Is it true that certain Toyo tyres are similar to Nitto? If i'm not mistaken it's the R888 and NT01. Some say both the tires have the same compound even though there's a price difference. Can anyone confirm if both tires have the same compound on a different carcass? I've read that Nitto is a subsidiary of the brand Toyo.

I believe that the NT01 is pretty much the same as an R888, with a different tread pattern. The current Toyo is an R888R, which I think is slightly different again from the R888. We've got NT01's on the rear of our track car, and R888R's on the front. Changing the fronts from NT01's to R888R's seemed to give an improvement in front end grip, but it's hrd to say for sure geiven the time between outings. Will be putting R888R's on the back when the NT01's are dead, and I'm thinking that will make a bigger difference than the fronts  as rear end grip is always an issue.

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high?

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?

      Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
