I found this on eBay (American site not Australian)after a quick 'Toyota Aurion' search

and I thought it was pretty interesting because I read somewhere a while ago that there arent many ecu/chip 's out there

my apologies if there is a topic like this already haha this is my first time starting a topic..

Yep.

Chips that do anything even remotely close to what it says it does will cost a couple grand. And the 2gr-fe has nothing on the market.

Admit it though. If you saw the chip for $1000, you wouldn't have asked.

And you're wondering what everyone though... well that WAS my thought.

so in summary at DJ is getting at that the 2GR and its computer systems is a bit too complex for this so called kind of easy fixes, So trying to employ it on your car would be a waste of time, sure give it a crack if it works sweet as you’ll become god ha-ha but yeah it can’t be tricked that easily not as easy as say a commodore or falcon power train and nobody has ever really spent the time to crack the computes and it wasn’t designed to be cracked and to get decent gains from, why? Because remember where this engine originated from, LEXUS! So none of these things were in the brief when it was set about to be designed and built. In saying that now that Lotus uses it in the Evora and MWR is doing transplant and some other Aussie based company is also using the power train there is a very real chance that chips and headers/intakes may become available :)

Comments like that really irk me, because these days Lexus IS Toyota. The engine wasn't designed for Lexus by Lexus and then converted back to Toyotas, it was designed for the whole Toyota/Lexus range by Toyota and exists in many variants to satisfy the requirements of each implementation. In fact, the GR series was first used in the Hilux and Crown, not in any Lexus vehicle.

Anyhow the moral of this post was really that yeah, they're pretty useless. Cept for a green led, that's about it. :P

leaving the poor guy alone.

Has anyone investigated if apexi power FC or the greddy e-manager has something for the aurion engine?

just read their website..it says for most jap cars....but im sure it would be mainly suited for nissans and honda's.

I guess it may be possible to get it tuned professionally...but i don't know if that will screw other functions on your car as i have heard the ecu is very fussy. I was having a chat with a mate wondering if it is possible to change the car to have mid range torque instead of high torque. Sure it will use more fuel but it would be beneficial performance wise.

Prob with the Power FC is it needs to be purchased for a specific car, eg. a ZZT Celica one wont fit a ZZE Corolla Sportivo one, even tho they have the same engine. Not that it will never work, find a car with the same engine and you can usually make a harness like SuperDave does.

EManage on the other hand... usually you can put them in anything, just needs to be wired up, prob is with modern Toyotas they have learning ECUs which can actually work around piggybacks, so its long term effectiveness would be in doubt, or constant retunes would be required.

Better off with something like a Wolf or Adaptronic, full, non-car specific standalone, they cost a fortune but.

The only 'chips' I would ever buy are found in foil packs and are to be eaten.

      1999 Camry Driver's door locking hatch issue

      It's possible that it could be something fouling or dirt build up, dry, or a broken mechanism, so have a look and give the mechanism some lubrication, most likely though, it'll be the actuator. I found one for a good price on Ebay, $25 delivered: Front Door Lock Actuator Right Side For Toyota Camry 1997-2001 | eBay

      Query about the correct rotors for 2006 ACV40 Camry.

      Hi, I'm looking at a set of front rotors for an ACV40 2006, 2.4L Camry. I got a good price on some RDA's at Sparesbox. However both RDA8112 and RDA7686 show as for my car and I'm wondering what the difference is and if there were changes to the rotors during the model production. So does anyone know which rotor is the correct one? Many thanks in advance.

      It's a simple solution though? Already laying down 60k for a RAV4, so what's another 1k on a phone to make everything work seamlessly? 👍

      Your solution is akin to suggesting that switching to a different car manufacturer would resolve the issue. However, not everyone shares the same enthusiasm for using an iPhone as you do.

      Turboed Corolla Overbuilt?

      that engine will be fine, the rods are the main thing to be concerned about. The 2860 is a decent turbo for the 1zz but in this day and age I'd go for a G25-550. The injectors might be on the small side, we run DW1000's. You need a full length injector, the shorter injectors with adaptors like ID1050x dont fit the 1zz head. You don't need an aftermarket intake manifold, if you do go down that path, avoid the CNC innovations unit, it's garbage. Do the boost control with a MAC valve and control it with the aftermarket ECU of your choice, I use Link stuff on most of my builds with the G4x Storm as the minimum. I also wire a fuel pressure sensor and oil pressure sensor to the ECU in my installs. Use a decent intercooler, the better cores (ARE, PWR, Garrett, Vibrant, Plazmaman, Hypertune) work a lot better than the chinese stuff like Aeroflow. a 450x250-300 fits fairly well with custom end tanks to route the cooler pipes through next to the radiator Don't forget about the clutch and gearbox. These days I like the Uniclutch twinplate, Above 300whp you'll want to think about upgrading the 3rd and 4th gears in the box also with the SSC (Hollinger) gear set and install an LSD of your choice. If you're going to give it a hard time, you'll also want an oil cooler. I like the HKS thermostat type sandwich plates and setrab or mocal oil coolers with -10 speedflow fittings/lines (Chinese AN fittings neck down to a lot smaller internal diameter in their bends, not great for flow) You'll also want to think about brakes, Celica or Sportivo front calipers will bolt on with sportivo discs as a starting point. To have somewhere like Tunehouse do the work you'll want to budget somewhere between 20-40K

      Camry Touring 2010 Fuel consumption 15.2L/100km. Normal?

      I did the mathematics myself regarding costs vs benefits for fuel injector cleaner. I have changed from 91ULP to 95PULP and 98PULP. Price difference can be about 13 -20 cents. Compared to 91ULP, Premium quality fuel should have a better quality additive package designed to have superior engine cleaning capabilities so the engine can perform at their best.

      "Fuel injector cleaner is a waste of money" Only if you by the cheap crap if you use LiquMolly a German Product it does work and you won't waste your Money.
