ECU Extension Harness???
Good day everyone, let me start by saying what a great community this is I have already learnt so much from just reading through the forums.
I recently purchased a 2007 Toyota Vitz RS 1.5L Manual. I want to install an AEM EMS-4 but I do not want to cut or splice into the original wiring harness. I have contacted AEM and Tweak'd Performance with no luck as they are saying they do not have the connectors for the 2007 Vitz RS. Although Boomslang makes a Patch/Extension harness for the vehicle compatible with the EMS4 I personally thing their price is too much (nearly the cost of the EMS-4 itself). This leads me to the following questions I hope to get answered; 1) Athere any other companies that can make the Patch/extension Harness? 2) Is there some place that I can purchase the Boomslang Harness at a resonabe price? 3) Is the USDM Yaris and the Vitz RS have the same ecu connectors.? Attached are pics I recently took of the ECU and connectors in my 2007 Vitz RS. Any and all assistance will be greatly appreciated. |

The US and JDM ECM connectors are the same. The cheapest solution is to make your own. I made one for my AEM F/IC using a junkyard ECM harness ($120) and an ebay ECM purchased for $35.
Here's an article I wrote for Micro Image on it: http://microimageonline.com/forums/s...o-expensive%29

We are a Boomslang dealer and an AEM dealer. I would work with you as best I can on the pricing. Contact Micro Image at sales.microimage@gmail.com

Thank you for the suggestions.
I will look at acquiring an engine harness when I purchase an engine and wire the AEM EMS-4 to the replacement harness in order to keep the original harness as original as possible. |

I acquired an auto harness and was wondering if there will be anything in particular I need to be aware of if I am going to use the auto harness on a manual vehicle for the AEM EMS-4 install.
I am planning to start the wiring/install in the next few days or as soon as I know for sure what to expect. Will post the diy once completed Thanks in advance. |

Thank you CTScott you know this car inside out. That's exactly what I thought having additional wires that wouldn't be of any use but u confirmed it. Thank you again.
Once d AEM EMS-4 is installed and tuned N/A it will be time to install d engine I just bought and start the turbo vitz project. |

I bought a used 1nzfe and installed it in the vitz in early January.
I did this as I didn't want to cause any accidental damage to the original engine for the car. I already wired the ems-4 onto the auto harness but haven't installed it in the car. hopefully in the next few weeks I will install the ems-4 and the 1zz tb. The main keep back is that I like the car and its original power output so I am not to inclined to mess with it, I never thought I would haved liked this car as much as I do....my previous car as a 200+whp Toyota EP82 Starlet GT |

EP82s are nice, light-weight and very fast however they're too common down here. I bought a Vitz because its different.
How much did the engine set you back in Trinidad?
