    3P's TCCS Disassembly/Analysis

    The schematic would not really be helpful. It took a lot of hours to get the layout done, it almost didn't fit, and then you need the VHDL code for the CPLD chip, not to mention debugging and so on. We decided that we would offer it for sale when it is proven out. Also, it takes some decent...

    Damn! Go to start my car for the first time and starter won't kick on :(

    Bravo to 89supracrazy. Finally someone investigated the starter circuit on the other side of the firewall!

    3P's TCCS Disassembly/Analysis

    The board is finished. I am waiting for the board vendor to return a quote. Once the quote is done, I should get boards in a week I hope. In the mean time I need to order some parts so I can put one together when the boards arrive. Unfortunately I am out of reader boards. However, the link...

    3P's TCCS Disassembly/Analysis

    Don't worry, we've thought this through and have a good solution. The only wire coming out of the ECU is the USB cable, and even that could be replaced with bluetooth at some point down the road. From a cost perspective, piggybacking on the ECU 5V rail is best, but then power consumption needs...

    3P's TCCS Disassembly/Analysis

    That's is one option built into the board. By external, I took you to mean not running off the ECU 5V internal supply rail. A 7805 doesn't quite cut it though, since you need to switch the power off when the engine is not running and it has finished resetting the ISCV and so on. Also, there is...

    3P's TCCS Disassembly/Analysis

    It does use an external supply, although with mods to the ECU board, you can suck power out of the ECU regulator. It needs about 160mA or so. Don't have any firm cost estimates at this point.

    Yeah, progress at last. The new board is 99% complete. Now hopefully you can see how it fits into the ECU without modifying the case.

    Pirate air leak (Arrgggggg)

    Check the throttle plate first. It should be fully closed. There is a screw on the 87-88s that can keep it open.

    There are quite a few studies of the impact of pirated media to paid consumption. Current estimates range from 5:1 to 2:1, meaning that for every 5 pirated versions a company loses one real sale. In the US, the GAO came out with a report reviewing methodologies and studies for estimating the...

    lower suspension arm

    Run a thread chaser over it to clean it up, then degrease the ball joint taper and the knuckle so that there is more friction when you push the taper into the knuckle and start turning the nut. I'm surprised anyone but Toyota carries that part!

    Maybe the trojan that came with the pirated version is loading your hard drive searching for your credit card numbers!:icon_bigg

    Building a new desktop PC, what do ya'll think?

    Well, it's tough to convert to RAID later after the OS is installed on it.

    Building a new desktop PC, what do ya'll think?

    Since I am paranoid, I always go for redundancy. Why not buy another drive for $89 and run using the built-in RAID 1, or do nightly backups to the second drive if you prefer protections against viruses and whoops! errors. Also, it is curious that you have no budget for the OS!:icon_razz

    Okay, my bad, I should be more clear. The tuning software is on the Assembla space run by Jon Sole.

    Installed EGR...Interesting Effect on EGT

    I can say that that I have looked at the 7MGE ECU code and there are separate maps for EGR and EGR-less operation, which can be selected using a resistor in the ECU. Said resistor will also eliminate the EGR output signal. I do not have a EGR-less 7M-GTE ECU so I cannot say what the differences...

    7MGE-Turbo (GTE electronics) EXTREMELY LEAN (16+ AFR's) Above 4000rpms

    How are you measuring fuel pressure? It should increase (relative to atmosphere) with boost. If it stays at 37psi while boost is increasing you have not got the FPR reference port hooked up to manifold pressure.
