    3P's TCCS Disassembly/Analysis

    Ian, as it stands we are just pulling apart the code and learning how things work. We need to isolate the maps and figure out the algorithms they use before we can move to the next step of plotting the maps and deciding what to change. I have a very simple board made that can be used to run new...

    3P's TCCS Disassembly/Analysis

    Good work Brutus, nice to know I'm not the only one with some disassembler skills. A much delayed tapeout for a IC amplifier project I am working on plus last week spent in Atlanta at the IEEE microwave symposium is keeping me from pursuing this project lately, but I will pick it back up in a...

    oil catch can install

    PCV into downpipe is for racing only. It does nothing at low engine loads and idle.

    Best PCV catch can design?

    For years, Volvo's have come with catch cans from the factory. They drain into the sump so no maintenance is needed unless they clog up. Probably could be retrofitted to a 7M.

    Question about the fuel pump relay.

    What voltage do you measure at the pump terminals with the low-speed resistor enabled? My thinking is that the stock pump draws less current and so the dropping resistor (0.7 ohms) is a little too big for the high volume pumps like the Walbro and the MKIV turbo pumps. The stock pump draws...

    Question about the fuel pump relay.

    Adam, are you running a non-stock fuel pump?

    3P's TCCS Disassembly/Analysis

    It's a good question, and ultimately depends on how much time I can spend doing this. First priority is to disseminate info on how these ECUs calculate engine operating parameters, and to publish the 7M ignition/fuel maps. I already have a daughter board fabricated that will allow me to run...

    3P's TCCS Disassembly/Analysis

    Okay, we start with Williams 7M-GE M/T ECU. First step was to build the ECU reader, which closely follows the one published by Kashi. I swapped a few components that I couldn't find here in the U.S., but otherwise it is the same. The schematic is attached as a thumbnail to this post. I had...

    3P's TCCS Disassembly/Analysis

    It's remarkable that after nearly 20 years the Toyota Computer Control System (TCCS) engine management computer used for the 7M remains a mystery as far as the public domain is concerned. Partly, this is because it uses a proprietary Denso microprocessor with zero official documentation...

    Help oil in cps?

    If you have oil inside the CPS, then the internal shaft seal is cooked. http://www.supramania.com/forums/showthread.php?t=44846

    Are rising Gas Prices affecting anyone from further modifying your supra?

    No need to patronize SB, I know more than I am posting. Many analysts believe 85mbd is the limit for world production. They are betting on this with their long term investments. Demand is projected to exceed 85mbd by 2012 or sooner. While your comments on the USD are valid, oil now is...

    Are rising Gas Prices affecting anyone from further modifying your supra?

    During the week leading up to the Memorial Day holiday, the traditional start of vacation season, Americans pumped 5.5 percent less gasoline than a year ago. Americans have pumped about 1.7 percent less gasoline than in the same period a year ago. U.S. Department of Energy data showed highway...

    Mines VX-Rom for 7mtge. Anyone know about it

    The 42 pin ECU is just for knock sensing. The 64 pin ECU does all the heavy lifting.

    Question about the fuel pump relay.

    As you state, relay energized for low-voltage.

    Pool of oil in Galley...pics

    A bit of a long shot, but since you replaced the head gasket did you remember to put FIPG under the front cam caps per TSRM? They will leak without it.. http://www.cygnusx1.net/Supra/Library/TSRM/MK3/manual.aspx?S=EM&P=52

    Mines VX-Rom for 7mtge. Anyone know about it

    If you know something about microprocessors you can reverse the code since the Denso D151802 has no software protection at all. There is a free disassembler for the Denso D151802 micro. You can find it here. http://toyota.kgbconsulting.ca/mediawiki/index.php/Main_Page Kashi has a slightly...
