I've sent bill a few emails and tickets asking to have wideband support added to my tune with no response so I'm not sure if he supports that yet. I'm going to try and follow up with him tomorrow on that and about my Perrin 3" cai.

I've been seeing more and more posts like this. I hope he doesn't get in over his head. I'm in no way bashing the man. From what I've gathered he's done great work especially with the Innovate supercharger. I just hope he is able to manage the work load.

I've read that he's moving into a new shop so that's probably why he can't be gotten a hold of.

I'm sure it's just a function of him moving to his own shop. I know he's supposed to start having a lot more time available starting this week, that's why i've been waiting to bug him for the update.

^^^^^^^^^Glad to hear this.

Yeah i'd give Bill some leeway for a bit. If its something serious he will get back to you but if its something minor try to stay patient for a little bit.

I've driven on 8.52 for a few days now and its really really nice. Very smooth, I do notice that slight hesitation if you back off the throttle then lay into it but its not that big of a deal for me. I've yet to put e85 in the tank yet but I probably will this week. I'm still trying to let things adjust but hopefully by the time my tank is empty I will have a good idea of how 93 feels. Gas mileage is great.

I broke down and bought a nameless intake pipe. hehe.

Does somebody know of anyone running the sprintex/innovate S5-335 supercharger ... http://www.sprintex.com.au/superchargers/

I have read of one here that I believe blew the motor but has it been done successfully

Any of you flex fuel map users do anything special when switching from pump to corn? I know we don't have to worry about it being on a flex fuel map but just seeing if anyone has any kind of ritual they follow. I may fill up today on e85 since i'm low on gas. I know when I was on a partial blend of e85 when I filled up on 93, it took it a while to register down lower on ethanol content. It seemed to only respond when I gave it more gas than usual as well.

The e85 is lighter so you need to open up the throttle quite a bit for it to start going through the fuel lines if you have any pump fuel in there.

Terrible loss to the Toyobaru tuning scene IMHO. Hopefully he can find time for this platform somehow.

JerryMichaels7 · 04-16-2014, 05:32 PM

wtf are you talking about? he didn't quit tuning this platform

Read between the lines, the last post I saw said he is weekends only with this platform. The man has to rest sometime. Either way it must be slower progress he's brain may be super human but he's not superman.

I know if I get the cash for a hotair innovate its getting his hot air tune, said he put a lot of blood sweat and tears to get a great reliable carb tune.
