Much better!

Licking that.
Not a typo.

@jonbill how are you finding the Speeduino ecu setup ?   its one on my list for when i go turbo and outgrow the EMB ive fitted to tinker with in meantime

loving it. I haven't got any experience of tuning any other ECUs, but Speeduino has been great and easy to work with on this and my Datsun.

Sounds much better indeed. Transitions OK?
Sounds sweet. Bet you enjoyed it

Had a read through your posts on the speeduino site. It was a bit like reading how Marc did his AR conversion...
what's your thoughts on this vs an emanage ultimate setup?

Sounds kind of cute now, like it's really enjoying itself "wheeeeeee!"
Liking your work...👍🏻

I dont really know anything about the Emanage Ultimate so can't compare, sorry John.

Not comparable  

Piggy vs standalone

Ah- I was reading the posts on the forum and thought it was running in parallel.

Quote from: jvanzyl on August 21, 2020, 07:12Ah- I was reading the posts on the forum and thought it was running in parallel.

yes, it is a parallel install. The Speeduino is reading Coolant, crank and cam signals in parallel with the Toyota ECU. Speeduino ECU is controlling fuel and Toyota is controlling everything else. (although I may take over the idle control too)

AIUI, difference between parallel and piggyback is piggyback is modifying inputs to the oem ecu to get the desired effect and parallel just shares sensors  to control outputs independently.

I don't think anybody on here is running true standalone. 
We always keep a bit of parallel. 

Unless.... Marc's 2AR-FE BEANs box of tricks works for 1zz. 
That + MWR airco controller for thr K20 kit and you can go full standalone. Without immobiliser

Update. I visited Jon this afternoon and took the little bugger for a drive.  Jon has done a great job with the tuning.  It idles well, can be driven at low RPM in traffic in comfort and it pulls like a train from 2500 rpm.

The blow-off noise is gone as is much of the supercharger whine.  I just did the sums and it's making around 185 bhp, without having to rev it's tits off. 

It's now going for MOT and then we'll decide what to do with it.

We can swap it for mine.
You guys need another project car to work on.

We do indeed - bring it on!

The car passed it's MOT no advisories today.  A bit squeaky-bum on emissions, but it passed.  Needs detailing out - but basically it's finished.  Took it for run.  It does go well.

Super news

This thread needs pictures and videos of the finished product. 🤓

That's brilliant. All that hard work has paid off. An air of 'Garagista' about it.

It's very crowded in that engine bay!  Not very photogenic, I'm afraid.

Took her round the block today, just to give her some exercise.  Quite cold today.  She does like cold air.!!  The grunt is so instant.

My SP240 loved cold damp weather.
It seemed to allow a touch more boost but maybe that was just a dodgy gauge.

I just landed on page 1 by accident (actually quite the worse for wear).

This build has been going 4 & a half years?  Wow. Time flies when you're an old bugger.

Just for completeness,a few months have elapsed since Carolyn decided to sell the beastie, to recoup at least some of the outlay spent on this project. I purchased this wondrous car a couple of weeks ago and can confirm it does indeed fulfill and exceed all expectations of how it goes.
The supercharger really does transform this car onto a completely different level, giving instant power whenever demanded, Carolyn estimated 185 bhp....who knows, but it certainly is appreciably more powerful than stock.
Maybe to the disappointment of some, it will not be my intention to 'tinker around' with it whatsoever as long as it is running as sweetly as it is at the moment.
I simply enjoy driving, although can appreciate the engineering(both mechanical and electronic) that were lavished on this very successful project

I'm just glad it went to a good owner. It deserves it
