Gazboy Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 Sounds like a strange way to save fuel imo. Your foot isn't digital... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmx1lew Posted May 2, 2008 Author Share Posted May 2, 2008 lol but if your driving it on ettc you wont be on the boost untill quite high revs i try to keep it to 3k tops in the auto when trying to fuel save. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricky-Ricky Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 I think the whole point of TTC is being missed here! its not really a way of saving fuel, although it does to an extent, its just a different form of power delivery and totally different to the sequential system,if you want to save money, you can achieve the same economy by being careful with the throttle.

Gaz6002 Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 I dont know if im right but i think Gaz6002 was thinking about this at one time I decided to use the permanent TTC mod rather than switchable as my power FC was to be mapped to suit it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmx1lew Posted May 2, 2008 Author Share Posted May 2, 2008 what would you say the TTC is like, I might give it ago if, if i like both i may look at the e manger thingy however no time soon just when i have spare dosh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found the car more controllable and easier to launch. I did notice a small increase in fuel economy but not a huge amount. It's also noisier. Make sure you've got a boost controller and fuelling sorted before you do it though, otherwise it won't run as well and you won't see the full benefit.

Really got me wanting to try it, another reason is i wouldnt mind giving the car a bit volume, however I doubt i would go for this mod any time soon. Did you use e-manager and who did your map?

Lew If you just want to try before cutting into your loom why not do the 2 pipe change option? It takes less than 3 minutes to do and if you dont like it then change it back.

jaymdee Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 TBH mate I don't like it and personally think you'd be better off getting the Walbro fuel pump in this thread for £80 rather than wasting money on expensive switches to ruin the sequential setup Toyota invested millions developing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you just want to try before cutting into your loom why not do the 2 pipe change option? It takes less than 3 minutes to do and if you dont like it then change it back. How do you do that?

bmx1lew Posted May 3, 2008 Author Share Posted May 3, 2008 Nice one cheers, I will try this one later on or tomorrow, Most of the pipes in my engine are rock solid or tend to crumble so might take allot longer then 5 mins, any one running it this way?

Branners Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 I really enjoyed the ETTC mod on my UK spec 6sp. With the steel internals the low down response isnt as good as with a j-spec so running TTC gives a completely different car. Not so sure of the benefits on a j-spec, a lot of low down power would be lost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
