Yeah I thought the same, but with lack of people having experience with 1uz, and rushing to get the job done sometimes ya take the first mechanic who seems to know what he's talking about.

Am sure it'll be worth it in the end, forgot the timing belt and water pump and all that being done too. Sure won't be taking the engine apart again for a long while

Ive done a few Auto Toyotas with Plugin USA made AEM plug and play ECUs, The gains are huge and the auto trans control is well above factoy and very highly tunable, You can really wake up the Toyota Box with these.

All the Toyotas I have done have been 2jz Autos but I believe they do a V8 unit.

Ive tuned many 1UZs but Emanage is the only unit on the market I will never tune again.

Save you coin for a full ECU, The only Problem with AEM is they are Very complex and most people wont tune them.

http://www.aemelectronics.com/ Their Piggy back is no better than Emanage so stay clear.

Any specific reason so many tuners try to avoid the Emanage? I can't find any specific reasons, is it just the difficulty in tuning them or limitations?

I know people had issues with the blue but thought the ultimate was a better unit

I think I'll probably go to Tristan, seeing as he specialises in Toyota, and has experience with the ECU and the engine, makes for less experimentation. I've spoken to him and I think I have a plan in place now for tuning. I just know I'm going to be recovering from "invoice rape" after this major service and cam/springs install for a while.

Appreciate all the input though.

    • LOL, when one "money pit" is never enough Noice, and excellent work mate
    • I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed
    • I hear that would involve some nice country road drives into the hills for Mark...
    • I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.  
    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
