Out of interest was the map locked? Hmm thought not. See i am someone who listens to peoples advice and makes changes according to what i am told. If i was told by mark or my mapper my car was only mapped up to xbar and not to use it for anything really until the map can be finished properly i would not use it. This could be down to numerous things, possibly fueling issues, problems with inlet temps etc ect. However i would head the advice and do as they say...

Also Matthew is a friend of JDM and feels he can more than trust him with his engine and car. So maybe all you haters and slanders in here should piss off faster than a pig in tel aviv:confused: :cry:

Still if Matthew has a issue with anything i post i am sure he would tell me. Unfortunately for you i feel he would have more of a issue with what you and others have posted here.

why would the map not be finished, what made me laugh was when he said if it feels a bit flat let me know and i will send a modifed map down to you.....

there was nothing wrong with the inlet temps on my car nothing wrong with fueling only when the tank was low on fuel whihc is the same for any car, i was told to use the car and enjoy it whihc i tried to do! but again rick you were not there mathew wasnt there and nic wasnt there so the only people who knew what went on was johhny my brother and myself.

im sure he'll do a better job on mathews he isint a stupid man he clearly knows how to map a car but he failed BIG time and customer service was terrible after it melted. but again rick when you go aftermarket iwonder if you'll trust hom to map yours??????

well after going through my speed chart again i decided the 4.2 fd wasnt the best choice, dont know why i fitted it tbh as at 70 mph it was going to be at 4k rpm and a 7k rpm it would only be doing 125mph, not a very good top end speed tbh

so i decided to take it back out and stick the 3.74 in out of the f20 4x4 box so it will be sitting at 3.5k rpm at 70 mph and at 7k rpm it will do 140 so alot better

Do the left hand gears all ways look like that? As they look bent over...

Subscribed! Great work, fair play for tackling it all yourself! If that was me I'd struggle to take a grinder to it!

Hopefully see you up Crail with it sometime!

I was thinking that too but I think it's just a mind f**k with the angle it's sitting at and the profile of the teeth.

the std gears always look like that ben, there called helical cut whereas the quaife ones are straight cut gears hence why the teeth go straight instead of bent if you know what i mean

Ah ok, cheers Matt.

Quality work! Well done.

Helical gears are always in mesh and slide against each other hence being quiet. Straight cut transmit the load in one direction which make them more efficient. Downside is they smash together and fatigue quicker, does sound nice though!
