[Corolla trd]

Well I'm not participating as I used to, because of many things happening this summer, I was excited to get my ECU tuned, I have to wait almost a month until I was able to get it back.

My car was seating there so I have to let Mr Hyde to take over for a month, and there where so many activities for club members, I enjoy every one of them, including the openning of one of the biggest Porsche dealers in the US.

Then I traveled to NYC and Philadelphia and I rent an 11 gen Corolla S, big difference without the mods, the car feels numb and slow compare to mine, what I have to give kudos is for the interior, no more plastic console, more head room and sporty looks.

Then when I came back, my daughter traveled over seas for vacay so I took her ride for almost a month and did some routine maintenance and detailing

Now I can focus on my rolla, I hit 130000 miles, oil and TRD filter in placed and some waxing, what's coming next : Dyno, paint the rims, tires and brakes, I hope everyone is enjoying summer!!!!!!

Wow, it took a month?
Mine took about week from when I sent it in to get it back. And I thought I was waiting too long! lol

Sucks to be the first but the price discount was great and it always help to have more rides :grin:

When you tune your ECU your supposed to get 10-15 more HP, we will know if is true after the dyno, I did dyno before mods, after mods (Header, exhaust and intake) and after the ECU tune.

You have the 1.8 A/T right?

Can you do a detailed review of the ECU tune? How does the car operate during casual, spirited, aggressive driving conditions. Also what gas are you running 91 or 93? Or if you run lower oct how does the car feel. Fuel economy, how the transmission reacts and any other relevant observations. Thanks!

I definitely can feel the difference when I floor it, more aggresive response for sure, quicker, but the dyno will tell me the truth if what I feel is a placebo effect or is real, I'm running on 93 octane, per manufacturer instructions (OVT), since I got my ECU I didn't go back to 87 or 91 octanes.

Fuel economy still pretty much the same no major difference, but to be honest I'm not obsessed with fuel economy, if that was the case I will be driving a Prius, I'm aware with more mods, fuel economy will be less, now we have to wait for the tune results which I will share with OVT as well.

I'm going to be emailing OVT shortly to get a little more info regarding the tune.
Such as specifics involving the % of change from stock and @ what RMP changes have been made to timing and fuel. I'm not sure if it would be the same for all across the board. but It's something I'm interested in.

I've noticed the throttle position has been recalibrated, as its one of the maps that is mentioned in the tune description. At first I thought maybe it's just that, that I'm feeling. But It's way more frantic in the way it charges it's way up to redline and the exhaust sound is great!
I have also noticed with each day that passes it seems to be getting more responsive. Again maybe it's all in my head! LOL

When I get some answers I'll post them up, same with the dyno figures. I'lll be ploting the A/F durring the runs as well.

Hey Corolla TRD any news on your situation? You get it resolved?

After I pick up the brakes from the dealer labor day weekend I had the check engine and VSC on when I got home I unplugged the ECU waited for 5 mins plug it back and no more lights, what I've seen is the airbag bag comes on and off but randomly, I'm still watching.
