Hello people,

After owning a Evinrude and Suzuki i bought a Tohatsu tldi 40hp.

I read on different sites from different people that a Tohatsu 40hp TLDI is identical to a 50hp except for the restriction plate in the trotle body, they all say that if you take the plate out the ecu will ajust itself. So a 40hp is a downtuned (restricted) 50hp.
I also read that dealers are taking these plates out on request when they sell a complete new motor. So there has to be atleast some truth in it.


To give a engine more air (unrestricting) won't damage it right?


I did read a lot on racing forums but also some of the lake and swamp forums, here in europe where i am from i read it on greek and Dutch sites.

Are there people here who have done this mod?
