LOL, no, this is a scam.

He will sell you a $0.05 resistor that goes between the ECU and the AFM, which fools the ECU into altering the mixture slightly. "Reprogramming" the ECU means disconnecting the battery for a few minutes to reset it.

Let the ECU control the mixture - it knows what's best for your engine.

by **FLAWLES** » Tue Mar 01, 2005 5:22 pm

there are cases of buying " or installing resistors in looms " resistors
and doing this

can you remeber the olfd sentra cup cars? the work shop forman at my work was a cheif mech on one of the teams and this was a simple and effective way of making power

by **fx gt** » Tue Mar 01, 2005 5:30 pm

lol gutted,so what cmputers can you get for these corollas?i am also looking for some extractors for my gt

by **Dr-X** » Tue Mar 01, 2005 5:35 pm

Well, if you want a good ECU, you're gonna need to look outside the $12 bracket. I'm not sure what the story is with 'chipping' toyota ECU's, but a full Link system wont give you must change from $2000+ after installation and tuning.

by **FLAWLES** » Tue Mar 01, 2005 5:41 pm

fx gt i see that u r new here

you will get a good set up out of a link for say !000+ " people can correct me on this "
or you have the likes of mega squirt
greedy/trust e-mange $600
or wot i have " fuel only " is a map ecu, but there is a fuel and igntion one on the market now

Actually I believe X'es rendition better than yours Flawless. 2k is more like what you will pay to have a $1150 LEM, installed $300, and tuned $500 professionally.

In regards to chipping a Toyota ECU. I haven't heard it done. My guess is because every single chip is proprietary, which means years of reverse engineering in order to find which chip / chips to replace.

But why are you looking at aftermarket ECU's?? Do you have big cams? or a turbo? Have you realy changed the VE that much?

by **Twolitre** » Tue Mar 01, 2005 6:50 pm

I have tidied up this thread, please stay on topic, I find myself doing this quite regulary these days!
You can't chip Toyota ecu's so yeah I'd be doing the basics first, coby make cheapish extractors for the 16valve 4age, partsco.com sell them.

*cough*
Might help if ya tanslate it... but im sure you can get the idea by looking at the pic's

Did you check the prices?
Currently they are $1375 plus shipping and GST. Then you also need to get it tuned.
You are talking about the same amount if not less to install a Link ECU. Why would you ever want to install a "chip" from a company that doesn't even have an English website. Its going to be very hard to support.

Oh and why the *cough* is it because you think they are actually reverse engineering the chip and then managing to tie in an EEPROM?
The reason these "chips" cost so much is because they are a complete logic chipset with a completely seperate codeset, they just use the same IGBT's, FETS and signal conditioning. Its still effectively a totally new ECU, hence the price.

If u want to alter your mixtures to make it a bit leaner or richer go buy your self a variable resister, there is alot of info on, but it only adjusts it very minimal.

www.mr2.com

you will have to do find your way around and it tells you to use a 0-2000ohm linear variable resister (also called a potentiometer) with a 1.25 watt capacity. around $2 at your electrical store.

by **Mr Revhead** » Wed Mar 02, 2005 11:48 am

if your car is stock, or neat stock:

extractors: get 20v ones

ecu: link, but dont expect much power gains on a stocker.

toyotas ecus dont use a "chip" in the way others do... as redmist has tried to explain (with big words!) they dont use a single chip... the info is hard wired into the circuit board, meaning to alter it you basiclly have to rebuild the ecu.... thats why you cant buy a chip from places such as chiptorque etc

by **Truenotch** » Wed Mar 02, 2005 4:48 pm

hey guys. do you think it would be worthwhile if i got an aftermarket ecu such as a megasquirt to run the motor only (smallport 4age) in my mr2. At the moment it'll be running a bluetop ecu and i cant get as much power as i could with the redtop ecu. I cant connect up redtop the ecu because the plugs are different. Anyway thoughts would be good.

by **fx gt** » Wed Mar 02, 2005 7:28 pm

would these extractors be good?

i gotta ae92 fxgt 1987

by **Mr Revhead** » Wed Mar 02, 2005 7:34 pm

they appear to be cut down 20v ones.... yes they will be good aslong as you get secondaries to match, after that manifold it should go into 500mm long twin pipes then into a single pipe

by **fx gt** » Wed Mar 02, 2005 7:39 pm

ah screw that,sounds to hard,i want ones i can just install and not fuk round with-i dont really understand what you mean though

by **fx gt** » Wed Mar 02, 2005 8:16 pm

is that going top be hard to do?and how much would that cost

by **Mr Revhead** » Wed Mar 02, 2005 8:19 pm

no not hard. first of all ignore those ones and get some that still have the flange on them. then talk to an exhaust shop, ask several. go to a wreckers and get the the flexi joint from them, a new twin flexi joint wont be cheap!

by **fx gt** » Wed Mar 02, 2005 8:24 pm

cant i just run a straight throught exaust or does it have to be two then back into one?my old exaust has a flexi on it but only one

by **fx gt** » Wed Mar 02, 2005 8:45 pm

what do twin flexis look like?
