RobSR Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 Ah that’s a shame, as If you could see the boost curve off the dyno; you’d be able to see where you can make some improvements with electronic boost control. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Is this tunning development. I see TD quoted alot related with Toyota owners. How much did you pay for mapping?. I've spoken with tuning development on the phone very helpful and knowledgeable on these. Edited May 31, 2020 by Sam44 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I had a good chat with one of them the other week. Really helpful and gave me lots of useful tips. Others have recommended them off different Toyota site's. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I payed £600 for a brand new ME221 Gen2 - Its hasn't been a quick pnp few little mods on the way but its far better then a piggyback. Just a few more sensors and ill be booking mapping. So shook about that price but maybe that's just my tight arse haha, you can pick emb up for about £150 all in and its quick simple to fit. After all its each to there own and the build it looking nice, I did want a black glanza preferably but ended up with white (every time lol) Keep it up Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Alot of experience and expertise. Plus k&n filters are the best part of £100. Plus a Dyno printout. I'm impressed with this price. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Claymore Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 (edited) Seems a bit of a harsh criticism if you think about it. EMB (can't find a new item listed for £150?) Pnp harness or ignition and injector harness 3 bar MAP sensor Fitting of above to vehicle. (Labour of skilled worker) Air filter Air intake pipe (design and fabricate by skilled worker i.e TIG welded pipe assembly and fit to vehicle) Setup on dyno, upload map, tune and tweak, dyno power runs (all time and labour of skilled workers) And I presume the price included VAT so TD won't be getting that part of the price. £699 sounds like a bargain to me.

Calum122 Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 Agreed £700 sounds about right for the work described. The ME221 does sound good, but if you are not going to use 90% of the features then there is nothing wrong with Piggyback. If you really are bothered, go get a Haltech ECU for £1200 and use that. Best thing about the Haltech is that once you are done, you can remove it and sell it or use it on your next project car. Same with Piggyback in fact. Where as the ME221 system is tied to the car.

stevie82 Posted June 2, 2020 Author Share Posted June 2, 2020 The price is spot on for the work they’ve done, I didn’t want a second hand emb and for the money I can’t argue with the reliability and end result. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah or a link, I just couldn't be bothered with the hardwiring or paying £400/making a custom loom. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stevie82 Posted June 1, 2022 Author Share Posted June 1, 2022 Not updated this in a while, the glanza still gets used as a daily and although it passes mot every year a few things need doing on it now. I have new powerflex mounts as the stock ones are a bit tired now. The flexi started to blow on the exhaust too so got a new stainless one to weld in. There’s also an oil leak from the timing side ( probably oil pump o ring) that needs seeing to and I think the water pump has a slight weep so plenty to keep me busy. Also bagged some new his gaskets for the exhaust as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stevie82 Posted June 1, 2022 Author Share Posted June 1, 2022 Forgot to mention also my neighbour unfortunately backed in to it as well last week and caused minor body damage and broke the left tail light lense 🤦♂️. Toyota don’t do the lenses anymore and are like rocking 🐴 💩 to find ! Lucky Dan at djr imports had one for £120 to help me out and I need to book the car in at work to have the bumper done.
