So I received the wiring diagrams today and had just enough time to find which wires that need to be tapped into.

I didn't have time for the DIY due to work, but friday after work I will have the DIY up along with videos.

So I installed the WOT BOX today, but was unable to get it working perfectly

I was unable to access the red ignition wire because it goes so far down in our engine bay. So I spliced into a pink wire that would cut ignition and fuel during WOT shifts, but it didn't work out so well and threw CEL codes

The rest of the install was really easy though. I sent an email back to N2MB and ill see what they say

If I NEED to tap the red ignition wire, Ill need to remove my charge piping off the throttle body and my Intake off the turbo. This should give me more room to work, but I was trying to avoid this extra work.

Ill keep everyone posted

My most recent time was 9.250 in the 1/8 with a 60 foot of 2.166. I hope the 2 step can lower my 60' foot or at least keep them more consistant

WOT shifting is just as if you were shifting threw the gears with the engine off, its pretty awesome haha

Hi Everyone! I'm Jon and I'm one of the founders of N2MB Racing. Sorry it took me so long to get over here. But, now I'm here to answer any questions you might have about the WOT Box.

I also want to thank NVMyTc for testing out the WOT Box on the tC for us! I am very interested in the results and excited that it seems to be going well so far. If all goes well, we will join up here as vendors and offer a group buy for you guys to get things started on the tC.

Thanks![/quote]

nice to have you here and chime in, we are hoping this will work pretty well as it gets tested more on the tc or scions

Sure thing. From our experience testing on probably 20 different makes / models of cars, the main thing I am waiting to see is if the ECU complains when it sees the WOT Box and throws the car into a limp mode. As long as it doesn't do that, then the rest is straightforward.

Once working properly, the results are basically the same across all the cars we've seen. The no-lift shift will typically help you shave about 0.1 seconds per shift, which usually means about 0.3 seconds by the end of the quarter mile. You will see even bigger gains on a car with a big turbo.

The 2-step will help your launches be more consistent, but its ability to help you gain time in the quarter is limited by your traction. If you feed it more traction, it will help you get some mean 60ft times. Even without traction, it will help you be more consistent.

Good stuff. While we are here, what other Scions should we be testing on? Have people put turbos on basically all of them? If so, we should recruit more testers if the tC goes well.

The same engine, the 2AZ-FE, has been used on the 2nd generation xB, so the box should work the same on it. We have seen turbo applications on every Scion model to date, so this mod would be beneficial to all the Scion owners at the track, NA, or FI.

Great! Sounds good. We'll test on them all.
