My tacoma is turboed and it currently has 2 piggybacks that arent doing a good enough job. Ive thought about standalones but they can be pricey and tough to install since theres no plug n play for tacomas really.
So, are there any shops here that work with toyotas that could install a megasquirt for a fairly decent price?
thanks for the info

 

as for shops, idk. installing a megasquirt isnt very hard. if you buy the wire harness with 12ft leads, all the wires are labeled for what they do. hardest part will be finding a stock wire with +12V THAT IS IGNITION SWITCHED AND ON DURING CRANKING, AND THAT SHOULDNT TAKE MORE THEN SAY 10MIN. oops caps

 

try tony at theracingstore.com hes in orlando

 

williamb i talked to you before about the install here on tamparacing. i wish you could have installed it for me back then, cause i ended up spending money on piggybacks. now they arent doing the job.
im not good with wiring, thats why i dont wanna tackle the project myself.

 

Hey I know someone that may be able to help you, PM me for more info, and maybe his number

 

if you already have all the stuff, making the engine harness isnt that bad. plus i need money for parts for my ls400. lol

 

unfortunately i dont have any of the parts, and i leave on the 19th. soooooo unless everything can be done in about a week then damn it ill have to postpone it

 

nah, no way i could build it and install it in a week in my spare time. especially since id have to research what kind of crank/cam signal your engine puts out to see how to setup the megasquirt for it etc... and then shipping for the parts to arrive etc..

 

I am currently working on a turbo system for my 2002 tacoma and would like to piggyback just 1 megasquirt 3 onto the existing ecu. Has anyone done this?

 

why piggyback it? the ms3 is a full standalone. though if your truck is auto, all you have to keep to the stock ecu for it to run the trans is power, grounds, the trans wires, tps sig, and the crank/cam triggers. i dont think the maf signal is even needed for the trans to shift so should be able to remove that. basically. youd end up just unplugging the injector connectors and connectors from the coils(leave the stock ignitor connected) and run the ms3 to them. then either tap into the stock crank and cam signals or run a 36-1 trigger wheel and vr sensor, and tap into the signal wire for the tps and run a vac line for your map sensor etc... if you want knock feedback you can tap int othe knock sensors at the ecu itself.

or if you want fuel only control. tap into the tach line from the ignitor for your rpm sig, tap int othe tps, and run your map sensor, then unplug the stock injector connectors and make a harness to plug into them and the needed power/grounds leaving the stock ignition system alone.
