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.

      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.

      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.
