    Default 1UZ aftermarket ECU option??

    Hey guys probably going to start looking at getting an ecu for my 1uz pretty soon, but i need some advice from people who have used aftermarket ecu's on 1uz's before.

    I was hoping to get something plug n play for the soarer model 1uz.
    I need it to run a supercharged 1uz possibly up to around 20psi or so.

    Is there anything out there thats plug and play, and that will also handle 20psi or so.

    My other option is to run stock ecu with a piggy back system, which may be good too, apparently 7-8ish psi is achievable on stock ecu so maybe some kind of piggy back (emanage) or something might be able to take over above the stock ecu limits.

    Any1 done this themselves with or without hassles etc???

    Cheers

    free plug:

    adaptronic has now done 2 1UZs. one of which is supercharged.

    the ecu is very affordable and is a quality unit. developed in australia!

    No plug and plug available.

    Do not piggyback if you plan to run any serious boost, the motor WILL go bang.

    Extra money spent now on the ecu will be money AND time saved later on new motors.

    Geeze that adaptronic looks like it could be a goer, very reasonably priced and seems to do the job, will investigate further.

    Andrew...are you using microtech? and are you happy with it? Would that be suitable for boosted applications aswell?

    Matty, the guys from lextreme just had a group buy on for adaptronic ECUs at a very good price. I'll ask the organiser if he can source any more if you like.

    The microtech has the benefit of being well proven and having a very good track record for the last couple of years, but they are being left behind features wise by the competition.

    Adaptronic is the complete opposite. Has all the features of the top models, but doesn't have the support that the rest do. (Adaptronic themselves are great, but outside of that there is a small amount of support compared to other brands)

    Apart from the well-visited forum, where there's a lot of people helping out on such things.

    il be running an auto, hopefully the 1jz auto box.
    Adaptronic seems to use factory ecu as a base, but makes it all completely adjustable, well from what i can gather so far anyways.

    JASPER if you could find out how much they paid and if it was possible to still get one, that would be an awesome help.

    Andrew, yeah microtech seems to lack greatly in auxilliary outputs.

    Cheers

    i helped out briefly fitting a adaptronic to a SR20 auto.

    the stock ECU was left in there, hooked up and all the auto-unrelated sensor wires were connected to the adaptronic.

    the others were 'shared' bewteen the stock and aftermarket ECU like TPS etc.

    though i cant remember if toyota have the auto CU built into the engine ECU

    Adaptronic is completely stand alone.

    If its used in conjunction with the stock ecu its to keep something stock there (like the auto)
