Conrad Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 I'm booked in for a Dyno this Sunday and have all my BPU stuff sorted bar the FCD. I've had one on order from Thor now for two weeks but they still don't have stock. I need to get a FCD by Saturday at the latest. I'd prefer to go buy one from a shop but the only place local to me is Graham Goode Racing in Walsall, they have them in stock but want £120!!! Anyone know somewhere in the West Mids I can get one from, or somebody I can order from on the net that will guarantee next day delivery?

letmeshowyou Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 I'm pretty sure Thor said these were back in stock now - give them a call. http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=66607 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 I had mine from Thor about 10 days ago (a FCD / TSD combined) so would assume they are in stock now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkey3 Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 I'm in exactly the same position , but I've been talking to Thor and here is what they have said... We got about 100 through from the manufacturers and sent some of them out. Unfortunately it turns out that the manufacturers had used 1 wrong component and so they didn't work correctly. They have collected in the offending articles and they are now waiting on the manufacturers to send out the correct ones which should have arrived today so they can send them out tomorrow, however they have not arrived and it does not look likely that they will today or tomorrow. I had to call them as they forgot to email me (only me it would seem), but in their defence, once I had called them they were very polite and frank about what had actually happened. The reason I went to Thor was because their FCD is supposed to be superior, so would I be better off getting a different one or waiting?

CJ Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 I have recently had a combined TSD / FCD from Thor. I haven't fitted it yet but would hope that it isn't one of th faulty ones as nobody has contacted me about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkey3 Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 How long ago did you get it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 How long ago did you get it? About 3 weeks or so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THOR Racing Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 ****ONLY**** the VFCC (FCD) product had any issue. The VFCC is NOT combined with any other product. For those in the know.... the manufacturer used a Quad analogue switch gate rather than a quad NAND gate. A few digits out on the chip part number but a world apart in operation. The DSC+TSD (speedo converters and top speed delimiters) NEVER had any faults. PLEASE NOTE: Before you blame the VFCC for not working make sure the VFCC is set to Fuel Cut = 8 Overboost = B on the dials inside. The new units are not pre-configured for the Supra and are left unset as they are used in other model cars now. Also DSC+TSD make sure the dial is set to 8 inside. This is 0% error correction. 0->7 is +10% ->0% 9->F is 0->-10% So it can calibrate for speedo inaccuracies due to different rolling radius wheels etc. Regards Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
