It should make power tho, you just need to advance the timing. Dont think you would need to adjust the fuel at all really the ecu is good for that.

Thanks Yoda. Got a book from amazon too, How to Tune and Modify Engine Management Systems by Jeff Hartman. Next I need, AF meter, data logger, and 3-axis accelerometer. Might as well buy headers now since I need to weld in an extra bung. Anyone know what steel the DC headers are made of?

The header is so short, I would put the extra bung just past it; easier and accurate enough for tuning. All of my turbo projects have the bung on the downpipe.

Jason tuned with it on his race car, it worked great for him, so we do know it works.

I have dyno sheets. But we will not share them at this time. Once we are done with the project all of the data will be out there. I will tell you we are making more power now NA than this car did when it had FI.

You don't have to believe. When we looked at the CamCon we thought it had ebay crap written all over it. But our tuner was able to make good gains with it, I would say better than any single bolt-on (except FI or NOS).

There is no upside for me to lie about it... The unit came with the car, and we have taken it out and moved on to an AEM EMS series 2. Is the CamCon anywhere near as good as stand alone? Not a chance, you have very limited control. But considering it is a fraction of the cost of stand alone, and it works as advertised, I would say it is a good value.

From what we have seen Toyota left a lot on the table in the ECU dept. We have unlocked more power with tuning on the Yaris than any other NA car we have done. Just getting it over 6500rpm is a big gain - unfortunately a gain the CamCon will not get you.

Henry, read his post. They aren't releasing more than very general data until the project is through, and the articles are published.

How would this run along, say, the blitz sc?

Could it be done or does the piggyback that come with the blitz supercede this?

I ordered it from http://shop.edoperformance.com/power...a-p-10597.html! Seemed like the best deal on a new one.

I am currently installing 1zz injectors and a throttle body in preparation for a future turbo install.

Would this show a decent gain if i'm supercharged (vs. N/A) ?
Greddy kit with emanage blue if it matters...

Not to revive a dead thread but I have a relatively big update. I recieved my Camcon about a month ago but was hit with a bout of unemployment and decided not to install it until I had a job again. Well good news for me and good news for anyone interested in a camcon unit. I installed it today!

I am a complete noob when it comes to crimping, splicing, and general wiring but I was able to install the unit in about 3 hours and have gotten no CELs or engine fires in the process! The male/female crimpers were probably the most problematic but with some ingenuity and some anger I was able to get everything tapped and installed.

I still need to get everything heat shielded and permanently installed plus drill a proper hole through the firewall but I will try to post my impressions once I start tinkering with the actual settings in the next few days. I will try the settings posted by Power Enterprises first before anything.

Have some pictures and if anyone needs help with wiring diagrams (has to be around the 2009 Yaris year) I can certainly work on them!

Hurray it came in!


First thoughts- "Oh my god what have I gotten myself into!?"


My handy dandy wiring chart. Also super blurry.


Success! No CELs and no fire in the engine bay!


True pros hang their piggybacks through the passenger window during the test drive. Way too tired to drill a proper hole through the firewall tonight.
