N3misiS · 05-25-2009, 01:37 PM

No Question there bro, this weekend I am going to go have a look! I just got of the phone with them, they have pics and Dyno charts too! If I can get my habds on them Ill post them here ASAP.

TheRealEnth · 05-25-2009, 01:38 PM

yeah go for it, see if they can actually do it... seems possible tho .... cause they are saying you will gain about 4hp... rather than a ridiculous amount like "HEY LET US CHIP YOUR YARIS YOU WILL GET +30hp and" so maybe they are on to something... Do it and tell us what happens? woudl be best if u dyno'd it urself before chip then after u do it u dyno urself again

It takes more than just a dyno to crack the ECU. You ARE out to lunch, aren't you?

Your new full flow exhaust will give you gains. I can assure you they are not capable of cracking the ECU. Why? Because it would involve alot of time, money, or stolen property from Toyota. They'd never get back the money they'd put in.

Hell we have some Yaris EXPERTS on here who still haven't been able to get it cracked. It was simply cheaper to get an e-Manage and go from there (a device which costs $3k+).

We have a few YW hopefuls just so desperate to hear of the ECU being cracked, they'll believe it without any doubt when any schmuck in a garage says he can do it.

TheRealEnth · 05-25-2009, 01:41 PM

its not that hard to crack an ecu... just any person who actually has the ability to do it sees no purpose in our little economobile, no profit either... He would do it and probaly only 10 people would buy... every1 else would be like "Oh i gotta wait and see" "thats unsafe" "Oh Gee Willigers 100$ is too much for me"

N3misiS · 05-25-2009, 01:46 PM

I understand, I have been watching that subject, but it is not out of the ordenary,
but still I will have to get the proof, pigy back's are an option but not one for me, there are to many things that can go wrong...

Ive seen so may things already, but I will try and live up to it! maybe by wednessday I can have proof, I am going to get my car and then see if I can get more Info>>>

N3misiS · 05-25-2009, 01:48 PM

You guys need to come to SA to see wat we will do for half an hp...

firemachine69 · 05-25-2009, 01:48 PM

So what do you call the folks that dumped about 5K under their hoods for a custom turbo setup, and would rather crack the ECU that get a new stand-alone?

The current Toyota ECUs are LOCKED. Full-stop. They are not accessible, and so far as I know, still read-only. Which is part of the problem. They're innaccessible via standard means, and no ones figured out how to make them read/write devices. This applies to ALL current Toyotas, not just the Yaris.

N3misiS · 05-25-2009, 01:50 PM

MMMM... That means we can definitly crack it... we have done the Fortuner, Auris, pevious corola...

scape · 05-25-2009, 01:51 PM

i don't put much faith into chipping the yaris, especially because what magical gains are you expecting to receive from a computer upgrade, a few hp/kw tops? i wouldn't test it, personally

TheRealEnth · 05-25-2009, 01:52 PM

oh right right cause toyotas got the chips on lock hardcore.... even more than the actual Nissan GT-R ? Dam they are serious about their shit

N3misiS · 05-25-2009, 01:54 PM

You guys are makin me want to spend the money so we can see how it works!

Hell Yeah, and I have a money back Gaurentee, why the not... will place my order now...

N3misiS · 05-25-2009, 01:57 PM

Well look, I am nog going to get Cocky, lets just see what happens,

And Electronics controll a great Part of any modern car, if you cant touch the ECU you cant turbo with much effects...

scape · 05-25-2009, 02:00 PM

still sounds like your yaris engine will become a test bed for their chipping...they've never done a yaris before?

N3misiS · 05-25-2009, 02:05 PM

Yes, 1nZ.

Not mine specific as yet as it is the smaller one...

N3misiS · 05-25-2009, 02:14 PM

It is under testing... I dont know.

Lets see if I can get results first, they said it wil be no problem at all....

firebob · 05-25-2009, 02:17 PM

Ok lets just say that they did “chip” his ECU. As soon as the ECU losses power it will go back to the factory setting. The chips that hold the current settings need to be powered to hold there memory. When the ECU starts up and it can not find current settings it goes back to the factory settings that can not be changed by the design of the chips.

N3misiS · 05-25-2009, 02:20 PM

That is very clever actually and sucks, but then I supose they will use a rom of some kind to store it, I dont know... but it is posible...

Kioshi · 05-25-2009, 02:44 PM

Guys instead of arguing bluntly, let N3misiS be the guinea pig and try it. We are lucky to have people go try out things for us outside the states and not have our money wasted on something that will/will not work.

Some will be right and some will be wrong. Thats just the way it goes~

Give us the info when your car comes out "chipped" N3misiS :)
