Looks like ZPI will be selling it. Kenny is getting one as we speak to set up on a test car for them.

I sent mine back and waiting for another. So, hopefully one of us will get it tested really soon.

Oh for sure. Also, the valve body upgrade will have to be done by turboeast.com directly.

ZPI I presume is going to offer the E.S.K with the turbos and Superchargers for the automatics that order.

I wouldn't. The variables in the ECU program are probably different.

like the ECU catering to a different engine & transmission and shift points and whatnot you mean?

ok. i was actually thinking the same exact thing at first! but i was just speculating- have no deep knowledge of this stuff. thanks.

maybe a little off-topic, what are the odds that the "variables" would be the same for the 4-speed auto transmission in the gen5 2az-fe camry (E-150)? the camry has a different final drive (correct me if im wrong), but other than that, are they basically the same transmission? so would the variables be the same? or would there be different variables catering to the taller (or shorter?) final drive?

That's what the goal. I

would like the option to hit have 3 buttons.

1) Disable and run stock

2) Enable - improved shift

3) (flip red cover and hit switch) Slam thru the gears at track

All this sounds good, but wouldn't it also be possible to "flash" a different program into the trans computer? I was wondering about this today after I came over a fast hill, off throttle, and had to hit the brakes a little harder than normal for the next curve...I thought the back-end was gonna come around when it downshifted...WHOA!!
This makes me want to change the way that whole thing works...and if it helps out my milage, I'm all for that!!

Dont' get me wrong, though...I LIKE the idea of 3 buttons, fer shure...(Where would YOU mount it??)

I wish I could help ya, but I haven't gone there....yet. Scott17 (I think he is named) might be the one to talk to. I believe he is a Toyota tech and may have seen one done. Try posting in the maintenance area of the forum.
