Adzn3k Posted January 13, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2018 I am in the UK mate, I've been told that the ecu need modification to be able to run aux 9 and 10? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adamw Posted January 14, 2018 Report Share Posted January 14, 2018 If you are prepared to send it back to NZ, it can be modified by adding a couple of wire links to give you E-Throttle capability. We can also give you instructions to get it modified locally but you will lose your warranty if not performed by us. danamaniac 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adzn3k Posted January 14, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2018 If it keeps the warranty then I'm prepared to send it back to you guys, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zmit Posted January 14, 2018 Report Share Posted January 14, 2018 What's the technical reason that E-throttle isn't supported on this ECU? (In its current form) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(In its current form) Our plugin ECU's are made up of 2 PCB's, we refer to them as the "top board" and "bottom board". The top board has the main ECU electronics, the bottom board is basically just like an adaptor board that connects all the necessary I/O from the top board to the original OEM header. For the last couple of years all of our plugin ECUs use a G4+ Xtreme based top board so it has the E-throttle hardware on board. However in this case the bottom board doesnt connect the Aux 9 & 10 outputs to any externally available pins (also no E-throttle relay/Ethottle power supply routed). This is mostly because this car never had E-throttle originally and it wasnt a common modification back in the day when we designed this bottom board and it hasnt been revised since we added E-throttle to the Top board. Some of our more common plugins have had the bottom boards revised more regularly as trends change or features are added, for instance, WRX V7-9 and Evo4-9 ECU's now have the E-throttle outputs connected.

Adzn3k Posted January 14, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2018 It's definitely not a common mod on the mr2/celica I'm doing a complete engine conversion with a custom manifold so would like to have e-throttle to make things neater Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly that, it’s not really a modification and won’t invalidate your warranty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well explained. Thanks for that Adam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
