Apexi POWER FC for 2zzge

Postby barryogen » Wed Nov 02, 2005 8:04 am

Does anyone know where I can get a pic of the Power FC plugs for the 2zzge, I'm just trying to figure out if the Celica(plug in) one will work for my Runx, it supposedly takes it from 141kw to 172kw mmm, 22% increase in kw*.

All things point to yes(The oem ECU has the same part number as the 00-03 Celia ecu), but I just don't want to get caught on something as silly as the plugs being done differently(sharing part numbers should make them the same I know).

Even a decent close pic of the current Celica ECU should damn near do it if someone has one?

*although $50/kw sounds expensive for power(although probably cheaper than a CAI), it will give me a heap more options later on :twisted:

Well incase anyone ever searches for this info, the ECU is in the passenger foot well, just behind/underneath the glovebox(picture lying in the footwell, on your back, head towards the front of the car, and you'r looking at it.).

The part number on mine is "89666 12260" which is the same as the Celica ECU(according to an email I have form Cooke Howlison Toyota, Dunedin). The reason that this is handy is that it means I can get the plug-in powerFC for ~$1500 and get ~30kw at the wheels for simply plugging it in(all 10 mins maybe).

I know, expensive $/kw, but it also opens a whole heap of other options, like slapping a small boost turbo on the 2zzge... which would make it a whole heap more fun, although an LSD would have to be added prior to keep the, single wheel, wheelspin and torque steer to a minimum.

The TRD LSD is ~$1100NZD apparently... although I question getting pricing from somewhere that describes an LSD as a gearbox... maybe it just got lost in translation.
