The "let's brainstorm how to make a piggyback work" thread

[ChinoCharles]

Hi Charles

We have not test our products on a Yaris before but we are busy looking for one. I will let you know what is the results once we have found a car and have done the installation.

In the meantime could you perhaps let me know what do you expect from this unit i.e. more power, more fuel efficient etc. and what signals have you tried to tune in order to achieve your requirements and what was the results you got with the other units. We would just like to test these aspects as well to ensure that if the unit will be able to meet your requirements.

I will get back to you on the testing once I have more information.

Kind Regards

OK guys, help me put together the response. I would suggest that Thomas make a post after this and you can help compile our data and as soon as everyone is comfortable that we have covered all of the bases I'll shoot the e-mail out. If they can conclude that their unit will work, I have a local tuning shop that uses Perfect Power's products heavily and I could be the guinea pig. I'll need a piggyback down the road anyway.

The focus of the discussion should be on power. There is a larger demand for power from tuning solutions than there is fuel economy, although I will make a point to mention that if they can improve fuel economy on a closer to stock Yaris that may generate interest as well.

urgh I'm not gonna have the time to write that up tonight, hopefully tomorrow. Plus I'd really want Garm to chime in with more details on his AEM experiences.

Also Charles, keep in mind that if they have a test car in south africa, the ECU may not be the same as yours. Seeing how seemingly easy it is for SouthEast Asia tuners to set up turbo kits, I am quite sure the US ECU is a lot more finicky.

The tune will increase crusing fuel economy if done correcty.

I can help with the response if needed. I'd even be willing to test it.

Yes, if you can start writing it up, post it here, then we can add/change what we need

As for testing, the more guinea pigs the better

hey guys!

i stay in South Africa , i will give this guy a call , and see what he says.

i think the US and south african yari's should have similar ECU's , so if it works on ours , should work on yours.


a friend of mine have a honda Jazz 1.5 vtec / honda fit ,he fitted a UNICHIP , and he gained 4 kw from the chip alone , so not to bad , but then again , the ECU might be different.

i'll get back to you guys.
