Isn't that precisely what this thread on the US forums tells people to do to increase line pressure?
http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/tune-5eat-line-pressure-149282.htmlThat chap does sell modified valve bodies I guess but it is an independent person saying exactly the same thing.
If you read the research Climber D did into the DBW and RT the verdict is that it makes very little difference if any. Hence why Climber D started Hex valve body mods.
It wasn't some marketing gimmick to make money, it's an enthusiast trying to deal with his 5eat slipping at high power/torque. He kept searching for something that will make a real difference and found it in the valve body (as the nissan 5eat guys were already enjoying the benefits of shift kits).
Many people here have tried the DBW/RT approach and it's really not what will help your shifts once you start really making torque.
Anyone who wants to see my car shift better than it ever has, is welcome to do so. A proper valve body mod (hydraulic pressure increase, not a resistor implant) > better than any kido tune I've ever had. And I've had a lot.
Matt, where are these tcu tuned cars? You've claimed many things on these forums...
No real tuner, with access to a dyno buys this BS. It is so simple to check/change in the tune - it's just stupid for Matt to think noone has tried it.
Hey dr0t, how's your tcu tune going?
