Well.... with the exception of force induction... almost every performance mod on the 1.5L engine will make very little improvements. The important thing is if the gadget actually works and actually gives some improvement and per your statement it looks like there were some gains...

Usually it will require quite a few extra hp's to lower 1/4mile times by half a second...

Also, did the test car had any other modifications? Or was it a stock car?

Messing around with the fuel ratio usually will have better results on cars with Free flowing intakes and exhausts.

So if this thingy can give an extra 10-12 hp to a modded car... perhaps it would worth looking at it.

After all... people have paid $400 for an axle back...

Another thing that comes to my mind is that this is actually a "TOM's" gadget... and if they don't know their stuff when it comes to Toyotas... who does?

with the self learning ecu i would think it would just readjust at the ECU and void out

That was my first thought as well.... how ever this gadget is intended for late year Toyotas and Lexus. How would TOM's sold a gadget that would stop working after you drove 50 miles... They should know better than that.

But who knows...

OK we should make a collect to get AlainMikli to the dyno... I'll pay 5 bucks...

PETERPOOP · 09-23-2009, 05:37 PM

Alain has mad dough. I don't know why he doesn't want to dyno it. I would think he's curious!

yea but do all new toyotas have learning ECUs? maybe they are different in japan then the us?

maybe they target more sporty cars rather then the economy yaris

but with no dyno to back it up, they we will never know

I would like to see a dyno with the chip pluged in right away, then maybe after 1000 miles with it being untouched to see if the ECU voided it out

Yaris is at the bottom of the Toyota line up.... I don't think our ECU are any more intelligent than a Lexus ECU.

All modern cars have learning ECU's. They've had them for the last 20 years! Yeah the late model Yaris has a picky ECU but all late year Toyotas are the same! Is no rocket science. The ECU uses several inputs to adjust itself. Those inputs are well know. All the pre set values have defined ranges. When people say their ECU learns and goes over their Piggy back is because they are throwing fake values that are beyond the pre set ranges.

Good tuners know this.... TOM's knows this.

This controller most work in some way... the question is how much gains can be obtained on a Modded (I/H/E) Yaris and if those gains are worth the price tag on this thingy.

And yeah, it would be great to see some independent dyno figures!!

This is pretty new. I'm sure we will see some more info from the guys in ASIA in the upcoming months.

Meanwhile we can give time to Garm to start sourcing the gadgets...

PD: Toyota doesn't have any "sporty" cars now a days.

I bought it from Tom's Store in Japan, 18900yen.

If you want I might be able to ask my friend who still in Japan ship it to you, after all shipping & tax, might be around $320 + US shipping...

blitz tap to the throttle control sensor and which control the throttle sensitivity, and this one tap to the air flow sensor.
