3SGTE Swap 97.7531483% Complete, Started on the first try! Options

[WannabeGT4]

I started my 3S swap for the first time tonight... It fired right up on the very first attempt and kept running until I turned it off. That was a pleasant surprise since this is my first swap and harness I've done.

I just need to find that damn clamp for the AFM. I know it's hiding in my garage somewhere. If all I lost was a clamp then I'd say I'm doing pretty good.

The open 3" downpipe makes this thing sound mean. Turbo spool is VERY audible even during light throttle in neutral. Cold idle is normal at 1100 RPM and drops to 800 once the engine is up to operating temperature. The RC AFM and ECU seem to be working great on the 90-91 harness converted to a 92-93 RC harness. All my gauges seem to function normally and all the dummy lights work fine too. I'm expecting a code 54 and low boost mode but that's fine with me until I get this tank of 87 octane used up.

First test drive will be tomorrow after work once I slap the axles in and fill the transmission with fluid.

Time to get some much needed sleep.

12MPG has motivated me to do something about getting this transmission to shift on it's own. I tried to send it an IGF signal and that didn't seem to do it. I downloaded the 90-91 camry EWD and it looks like the stand alone transmission controller isn't so stand alone after all. It still needs input from the engine computer that the 3SGTE ECU can't provide.

Next step is going to be either making my own transmission controller... not as hard as you'd think, or buying the PCS transmission controller (freakin' expensive for what it is).

The only other option I can think of that may work well is to use the 5SFE computer to run the 3S and ECT while making corrections with an Emanage Ultimate.
