I just ordered the Power FC, estimated arrival time is in 2 weeks.

Anyone recommend a place where I can get it installed and tuned??

Additionally after some reading there are problems with the Radiator fan not kicking in due to the fact that the there is no way for the Power FC to send the appropriate signal to the temp gauge on the instrument cluster.

Also I have a factory fitted alarm and immobiliser. Would the PFC be able to work with them?? Would it be better to get the PFC to run the engine only and leave the stock ECU to control everything else??

Just trying to get more info before heading off to the tuner.

Cheers

what year is your car?

I'm in the middle of an installation guide for pfc to runx so it isn't much more work to add the SA sportivo to the guide at the same time.

That would be a great help to many sportivo owners here Rollamods, if there was a guide I would quickly buy one and past it on to a tuner so i can have a PFC in my car.

Only thing I have right now is a CES CAI....not a fan of noisy aftermarket exhausts, but I suppose I'll need to source one real soon to get everything sorted out with the tuning.

Thats great news rolla, keep us informed of your guide.

I think he does mean idle hunt actually, as it's not easy to get rid of if your ECU's AC and ELS inputs aren't correct.

Give us more words of encouragement Xoom!!

Pity no matter what we do with a 2zzge N/A it will never be able to keep up with his boosted 2zz.

yep i do mean idle hunting ...... well jase if u sort something out i would b great full ..... the only way we've managed to get rid of it .... and its only temporary as it keeps comin back is to pull the throttle body out and clean/grease up the butterfly so it moves more freely ...... but like i said .... last like 3-4 weeks then comes back again ..... no idea ..... and this is when the AC is off so not to do with the AC ......

hahahahaha yes dave however u also look like a f@#K wit in a corolla with an exhaust that 2 big for it trying 2 run ppl off the lights ..... lol ...... ah ive worked out a way 2 stop it quickly though ..... simply turn the steering wheel as it applies some load and that seems to balance out the revs and it stops doing it ........

Have got the excel file done, haven't got around to writing the word document to go with it.

Requires custom wiring to the AC amplifier to get the AC signal inputs working on the PFC correctly, but with all my mods the idle is perfect regardless of AC, electrical or power steering load. No hunting at all.

If you don't want to splice into the AC amplifier loom, you can source a celica body ecu and wire that in too (not too hard). There's usually 1 or 2 Celica body ECUs on the Japanese Yahoo auctions. More wiring, but it also gives you an easy source of the multiplex signal to get the temp guage working.

Fields loom is the neatest way to install one with the required mods in my opinion. I'll shoot you a link to the Excel once I upload it somewhere.

I haven't been looking at the moment lately.

Give Xoom a PM cause I think his tuner is quite good from the sounds of it.

I recently hit my bent my stock exhaust system while reversing into a parking space.......I think its bent just before the cat, and its hitting the brace that is underneath the car. I removed the brace already but not very happy without it there.

I'll be looking at doing a whole exhaust system upgrade first. Still need to get the headers off to get it ported first though.

If you are getting the headers ported please let me know. Might be cheaper if we do it together.

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Generally, yes. In the 60s, and earlier, there were cars with positive grounds, so I'm always a bit hesitant to say the negative wire. It is always the one that bolts to the body. Herb

      2011 Land Cruiser 1VD-FTV Engine Won't Start After Overhaul

      Hi everyone, I have a 2011 Land Cruiser VDJ200 with a 1VD-FTV engine. I recently had the engine fully overhauled due to a blown head gasket. However, after the overhaul, the engine is not starting. It only cranks but doesn't fire. I've checked the following DTC codes: Internal memory EEPROM error Low rail pressure The actual rail pressure data shows: 240 bar during cranking 61 bar when ignition is off Based on these findings, I suspect the following potential causes: =Defective Diesel High-Pressure Pump =Leaking Piezoelectric Injectors =Diesel Fuel Bypassing to the DPF Circuit =Faulty Injector Drivers I'm hoping for some expert advice to help diagnose and resolve this problem I'm seeking expert advice on how to troubleshoot and resolve this issue. Any suggestions or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Disconnecting batteries, ALWAYS disconnect the ground wire first. Doing this will also disconnect power, in general. Herb

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Hey guys, I’m wanting to disconnect my current winch, lightbar and UHF as I have new plans. I’ve installed a winch previously on another car so I get it’s a case of following the cables and disconnecting from the battery, etc but but safety wise, should I start by disconnecting the battery so the cables aren’t live orrrr? And if so how do it go this haha?

      Snapping wheel and axle studs

      Put a set of standard wheels on it and your problem will disappear. It is critical that the hole in the wheel centre is a snug fit on the axle boss (without wheel nuts fitted). If your wheels are sloppy on the axle boss this allows excess force on your wheel studs and they will break, as yours are doing. If you are unsure of what to do, go to a reputable tyre shop and get assistance.

      2zz idle / roughness when accelerating past 3k

      Hey everyone was hoping someone might be able to point me in the right direction with this issue I've been facing for a while now. My Celica's idle will drop down to almost 200rpm when stationery after hitting operating temperature. Pretty much feels like it's about to stall out but never actually does. When taking off from a set of lights it almost feels like it hesitates or is down on power and then all of a sudden it lurches forward and gets a boost in power again. Then again around 1,500-3,000rpm it feels down on power and in what I can only describe in the engine feeling scratchy. Past 3,000 rpm it gets a little boost in power again but still definitely feels down on power compared to what it used to be and still has that roughness. Note lift is also not working at the moment but I have changed the lift bolts, planning on cleaning the VVT and VVTL-i OCV's New engine mounts have been installed I changed the MAF sensor about 4 years ago albeit not OEM. After doing some research my main ideas now would be a New MAF this time OEM, TPS, IACV or Coil Packs (Changed plugs 50,000km ago) Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!! :)
