The stock throttle mapping on MT cars has the plate 'hang' for a few milliseconds after you release the pedal. Sudden throttle closure and accompanying deep vacuum causes a spike in emissions so their strategy I think is to chop the injectors first and then allow the throttle to snap shut a few ms later. It's one of the most common complaints I get from owners about the stock mapping.

That must be it!!! Thanks

Wow! That's fantastic dude!! I'm assuming you're open source tuned? Would you mind sharing your ROM with me so I can reference it compared to others?

 

This makes me very happy, I'm about to start my 5spd swap and was dreading losing cruise control! I use my car mostly for road trips so cruise is very nice to have.

 

Thank you:)

PM throttlehappy please

Spot on !

Still need throttlehappy to check it out in person and fine tune.

The right manual rom and away goes all the issues and cruise control back:)

Seems throttle has a small delay to closing and reducing revs. have a suspicion that it could be mechanical, lubricated the spindle that the pedal sensor is on, see ow that goes.

Holy Cow, Cruise control works after my 6MT conversion.

That Manual Rom is doing the trick.

Thumbs up throttlehappy!!

Running manual rom now. Throttlehappy ROM

Aside from slight throttle overrun(?) seems all good.

No flashing cruise or Err HC over the odometer

Will update once fine tuning of this ROM done.

Custom mount done by shop.

Have a manual Rom on mine and all going well so far.

Just has an overrun when changing gears, not exactly sure why....

Oh well, knew some fine tuning would be needed.

Nope

Its all good and happy now.

ECU looking for tcu but can not see it so Check engine light and throttle limp.

Loaded in throttlehappys new manual tune ROM and now no check engine light, no flashing cruise light.

Drives well but now I can go SD next dyno session and turn wick up again! :-)

How was that conversion?

Driving it now.

But its in limp mode till throttlehappy sends me a new Rom.

I enjoy it already, even without boost.

I've broken two centre diffs in my built 5eat - ACME pinnacle kit that Adam did with a Hexmods / Climber D VB, plus brass bushings from frankster.

 

Both times shattered the centre diff input and output shaft and in the second case, I sheared the teeth entirely off the centre diff input shaft

 

This was until I Sonic Xrayed, Micro-Linished, Shot Peened and Cryo treated my entire centre diff, input and output shaft and all planetaries etc. Did this 2 and a half years ago and haven't had it happen since thankfully. Also shared this with Climber D Dave and a few others at the time.

 

Version 10 JDM GRB EJ207 making 530-550whp

I feel your pain, your builder got the clutch balance closer than mine.

I have smashed 2 built autos now, brass sleeves in both center diffs.

What I have learnt is that too much clutch with a modded VB will destroy the and shaft gears everytime.

The shock load on the the center input/output shaft gears kills them.

I only had 366awhp at the time too.

Those 1 to 2 changes were awesome though!!

Have legacy 3.0rb 6 speed in it now.

We will see how it goes once turn wick back up.

Heck yeah!!

BW looks the biz.

Good luck!!

Collected the bounty 2 years ago

Swinging from idle to near rev limiter in every gear like they should. Instant gear changes, handling 440whp on stock autos

Already been programming them locally for nearly 3 years or so

Well you will have to sort mine next Friday to get a huge gold star to your name!

So the center diff in my 5EAT took a dump, and one have suggestion on the most economic way to replace this?

I feel for you, having spent 10K on 2 x built 5eats I just think they can not handle my power level.....but stuff it, 24 psi tomorrow :-)

Last dyno was 320hp at hubs with Hexmods modded VB and the 5eat is taking the 22psi tune no probs, 11,000kms on this setup.

Racing red clutch packs on 2nd though.

Good to hear you are driving again! Gonna be checking this thread way more now!

Kudos to a shop doing you a solid, respect for operators with integrity.

Sorry I meant $35000 not $3500. But yes I measured everything I fully blueprinted the block, everything was looking good. Except for the oil leak from that crap pan. I'm not really sure what went wrong. This is just beyond depressing, I just want to drive my car, it's been a year and a half since I've driven my car, and it's still my only car.

Oh crap!

That was my original purchase price........ouch man, ouch!

J

This really sux!

Had my fingers crossed for you.

In Australia that rebuild would cost you $10,000 or so, so much cheaper than here!

Any idea why?

Matt should be able to help.

Mine has been ECUTEKed so Matt can't help me without giving away his trade secrets to another tuner. I would not ask him to do this either.

Gday Mick, Sooo the USA R&D department are getting the kit together for you:)

Just PM'd them to find out price etc, this could save my local guy heaps of time and me potential issues.

We will both be giving these 5EATs the acid test with many ponies.....
