UCF20 'bags' into IS200

**mattysshop** · 18-09-2009, 03:00 PM

making them fit isn't really my question, kinda have that sorted..

controlling these bad boys is.. i have NO idea how they work.. will one of those jap aftermarket bag controllers everyone put in thier celsiors work the way i'm hoping it will?

purley and soley for cosmetic purposes..

cheers in advance..

Probably not, most of the aftermarket controllers just manipulate the factory suspension computer. But then you didn't say how you hoped it would work

yeh... that was pretty much it..

so they have a factory suspension computer? like a small computer separate to the ECU? any ideas where it is located.. i could 'aquire' one of these..

Separate computer, yes. Small computer, no.
The one in the UCF11 is about the size of the engine ecu.

Surely it would be easier to install a proper set of aftermarket bags with their own control system?

The stock Toyota bags are not designed to be fully deflated like the aftermarket ones.

yep i know, thats not a problem, will any of these ecu's run any combination of the bags? might sound silly i know..

the only thing wrong with an aftermarket setup of 'pimp my ride' bags is the lack of normal suspension travel.. it can't drive like it's solid mounted around town which those 'kits' tend to be like..

unless they have made a nice luxury type of airbag strut that i havn't seen yet?? (i have only been looking into this recently)

sounds like we have a bit of a plan happening anyway..

cheers for the info

I don't reckon there would be a problem running any combination, assuming the resistances of the sensors are all the same.
But you'd really need wiring diagrams and service manuals for everything you have to make sure they are.

The reason why you can't use a Soarer aftermarket controller in a Celsior is because the plugs are different shape. And I'd assume that even the UCF20 would be different to the UCF11.
