ae101 4afe tom's computer box

[silverAE_fe]

hey guys.. i was wonderin if u cud explain to me how does the tom's computer box work in an 4afe engine.. i just bought one from a friend of mine and installed it already.. damn! its GOOD! big increase in my power.. im not sure bout the rev limit, but some say there's none. i can rev mine up 2 7.5-8k rpm but still goin up.. im just scared cuz i might blow my engine up if i continue more revs. help please.. id really appreciate it.. and one more thing.. what do you guys think of it and what do you think it can do to my 4afe? thanx

Just an ECU swap doesnt do much, if anything at all. AFAIK, the toms ECU box is meant to be used with the Tom's turbokit.

[REN69]

In other words.. you can add a custom turbo without problems.

whr can i buy toms computer box i wana buy it for y 95 corolla 1.6 4afe

it really wont do anything for a NA car with a cai and exhaust installed, because the stock computer can handle the fueling even with those, because air intake amount hasnt changed. Also the SAFC settings will mix up the toms ecu up too.

If the ECU is design and tune for turbo, you'll be wasting gas in a NA car.

[Flashmn]

not necessarily if the maps are driven under non boost they might not.

[Pineapple]

If the ECU contain both complete boosted and non-boosted map.
It may not have enough points on the non-boost map.
Then I'm talking out of my behind anyway

[Flashmn]

Or it can be such that boost refrence points add a compensation ratio to the fuel map. So in effect, you'd have a non boosted map with a boost add-on map. Then again, I never bothered to study toyota ECU's, I just went for a standalone system called megasquirt

[freakinbox]

what exactly is megasquirt and how does it work. A guy at the meet had one on his ae86.

[Flashmn]

standalone ecu. it works just like an ECU, but its mappable and you have a shitload of stuff the stock ecu doesnt, such as boost control, launch control, injector sequencing, dual injector control, etc etc.

[punter]

And its a shit load cheaper than other standalone systems, hell its actually cheaper than some piggy-back systems.

[Flashmn]

I got mine for 80 dollars fully assembled. Tho its not the b&g board, but a locally developed board, which is better.
