You gotta get somebody to have a proper look at it... if wiring to the original ecu has not been damaged (including interior and engine bay) it should run fine. I think it'd be very difficult for somebody to give you a solid answer online.

 

Where you from? Maybe somebody close by can give you a hand!!!

There must be a reason someone went to the trouble of installing a microtech. Do you have non stock turbo, injectors etc? Bit hard to tell from the jumble of wires but it looks as though it has been piggybacked on to the stock ecu so should be physically simple to do but you need to make sure your engine is safe running on the stock ecu.

I did bring the car to a few workshops. All shook heads seeing the wire in the interior and engine bay:3_grin:. Most of them just recommend to change to a Haltech ecu and new wiring.

Turbos are stock. Injectors not sure. AFM were not connected when i got the car. Ok will study the messy wires more closely to see how it works out.

Thanks for the advices guy.

Well will need stock afms to work

Yet as stated the ecu was probley put in for a reason.

If everything is stock however it shouldn't be to difficult to revert back. Where abouts are you located?

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
