So tonight i installed the 76mm tundra throttle body (had one lying around), not something worth doing unless you have a throttlebody spare or a going boosted as the tb is expensive. With the car booked in for a complete custom tune at the end of this month i thought why not. It took a few times for it to run when starting as it stalled the first few attempts, then took another 20nodd minutes for it to learn how to control idle as expected. The flat spot in the throttle is gone but no difference in power as expected. Not the neatest install but it works
Wish I could run long tube headers but they're not compliant with emissions here.
For the NST pulleys, why not the crankshaft too?
What type of tuner are you using with OE ECU?

Im not running long tubes mate, they are shorts re using oe cats, i honestly am not sure if its even worth using hi flow cats or having the oe ones gutted when it gets tuned
The nst crank pulley doesnt have the rubber vibration dampner on it, we installed the water pump one saturday but the alternator uses a de-coupler pulley so the nst one isnt suitable either.
The tuner is using alientech to open up the ecu

Find yourself some of those specialized ramped washers to save the bolt heads. One of the US skid makers used to sell them, but a quick google search turned up nada.

So received the car back from tuner on saturday, he couldnt access the wide open throttle fuel trim so peak power is still 180hp at the wheels. Didnt get the figures for torque, there is a big difference at cruising speed and in throttle response, far less gear hunting in 5th.
He has sent my files off to alientech in spain to have them personally customised and once he receives them back i will be taking it back to him to have the new wide open files installed as he said there is currently enough fuel going into the engine at w/o throttle to run 30psi and that leaning it back will bring peak power up substantially

Exactly like that! I couldn't find an image. One of the US skid mfrs used to sell them, but I couldn't remember who.
Though that web source seems pricey 25 AU$ for two?!!

Everything here is expensive
I am considering an LX or FJ- Why have you given up on the LX and gone to fj?
So are you enjoying the fj more than you did the lx?
