No im running a n/a car witht he mods in my sig. i just want that hard shifting ! how muc u estimated with install

 

Install should be pretty easy. Can't be any more difficult that installing a head unit. It's electronic This is what mattssi says the connections are. You can actually turn it off to go back to stock control, or turn it on for stronger shift. The valve body upgrade is full time kick and really the final solution for moderate to heavy boost.

On the lex - I had purchased a unit from turboeast that they made for the IS300, basically had a connection for power, load, rpm, and line pressure. It worked like a s-afc for the trans. Basically took a signal, and output a different one to increase line pressure under load/heavy throttle.

I'll keep you all updated with whats happening.

I'm so excitied about this!

 

too late to sign up????

 

This is Sam from Turbo East, we are still in the r&d phase for Scion. I plan to keep you guys updated as to what is going on though. We are so busy here at the moment, I am not sure when exactly I will need a local car, but if you are interested email me at sam@turboeast.com. Thanks guys -Sam

 

Hey Sam, do you guys need a bone stock (mechanically) manual tranny tC for anything?

ough:....turbo kit....ough:

 

OK where do i get one of these ? it is the only part of the auto that i dislike

 

Sam just got everyone all fired up

 

wel?? I Want I want !!! MY auto needs to shift hard !!!

 

damn..when i first saw sciondad talk about the electronic shift kit on other threads i thought he meant they gonna make a tiptronic for our cars! argh i was soo lookin forward to seeing that

 

I just want hard shifts !!!!! I heard titronic is a lil bit slower any way

 

Sent Sam an email. Think theyd be willing to work with two tC's?

 

Well, I got the ESK today in the mail...but I have to send it back. This will be a piece of cake to wire up. There are 6 wires. Ground and 12v, Then there are 4 wires - 2 each red/back and 2 each yellow/black. Basically you will cut 2 wires that go to your transmission from the ECU and place this inline with that (2 wires in and 2 wires out to ECU). It is specific which 2 wires are in and out and are labeled...except the test unit they sent which was missing one label and I wasn't going to guess. Hopefully have another unit by end of week to install.

Basically, what Sam told me is the unit will increase the speed in which your transmission shifts....no more gliding from gear to gear.

 

The replacement unit with marked wires is on it's way according to Sam at Turboeast.com

I asked about switching between factory shift and the E.S.K and he said no problem. When you install it (piece of cake guys), put a switch inline with the 12v power wire and flip switch cutting power for stock performance.

Works for me.

 

so in other words, turn the ESK on when u wanna race, off when daily drivin.

i am intrested in how this performes on a tC

 

sweet, cant wait to see it done!!!

 

Sam faxed me the install sheet today. Piece of cake to wire in. I will have a full writeup with pics in the power hungry section as soon as I'm finished.

I removed my turbo to make changes for air to water intercooling and some other mods...but left it off for now until I get this wired in. I wanted to test it on a stock setup first...get some videos. Then re-install my turbo and get video with FI.

GOOD BLESS YOU ALL... cant wait to get my hands on one... my tC wants the 15's bad
