Haltech Elite 2000 ECU install on a FZJ 80 SC (1 Viewer)

For 99% of mud the catch can routing for the PCV is fine, but if you have forced induction you have to reroute your PCV. If you think about a naturally aspirated engine with the port in the intake manifold it will ONLY draw a vacuum on the PCV sucking excess crank pressure out of the PCV into the intake, but if you boost your engine you now have boost/positive pressure in your intake manifold blowing into your PCV hose. Best case scenario is now your PCV doesn't work at all, worst case you pressurize your crank case and blow out your seals.

5-8 psi probably won’t blow out yur seals, but, on mine, which has 120k-150k miles boosted, it does create minor leakage at the soft spots like the PVC grommet and the oil filler cap. It is on my bucket list to reroute the PVC line over to the big vacuum line for the brake booster which is pre-compressor and should have typical non boosted vacuum signal.

Ok. So if I understand correctly your suggesting for the pvc line to go to the catch can and not go back into the intake vacuum line. But rather just end in the catch can with a breather ? Or does it go on from the catch can to somewhere else ? And where to ?

 

[scottryana]

Depending on your local emissions laws you can route it back into the intake before the supercharger, or you can leave it to the catch can. I don't have time right now to go into the intricacies of it, but if you google installing a catch can with a turbo I am sure you will have a lot of reading.

Thanks will do

I have seen it blow out seals, rear main, etc. your check valve is probably still working, his was shot, so the engine was basically pressurized.

ok so now I'm chasing down that ticking noise on the driver side LHD footwell area that also makes the truck skip a heartbeat/shudder.

Didn't have this noise before installing the new ECU.

After doing some research on Toyodiy.com to see what is in that area I have narrowed it down to a few culprits that could be related.
could it be the :

1. RELAY, TRANSMISSION CONTROL 89531-60010
2. RELAY ASSY, CIRCUIT OPENING (FOR EFI) 90987-02004
   
3. COMPUTER, ENGINE CONTROL 89661-60340
   
4. RELAY ASSY, FUEL PUMP 28380-66010

anyone experience a ticking sound and a shudder at the same time and was able to fix it?

thanks

Mo

ok so a little update

I traced the ticking relay issue and it turned out it was the 'RELAY ASSY, CIRCUIT OPENING (FOR EFI) 90987-02004' so now I need to find out why that is happening and to rectify it.

It was heating up and when i remove it the car turns off. Video below



It also turns out that the ECU plug and play adapter harness is still new and my car is one of the first in the world that has it installed and they are sorting out all these little bugs before it goes on general release.

 

[ThomasMore66]

Any update? I'm curious if this adapter/ecu will ever work on a US model.

 

[Arabian Cruiser]

Apparently they have a fix for the sound. Waiting for an appointment with the tuner. Will keep you updated.

From what I understand it will be.

What type of intercooler are you running?

What type of intercooler are you running?

I am still studying an intercooler setup to custom up. Been reading a lot and one system I saw a fellow mudder make I like.

It’s a water to air system.

So stay tuned for that addition.

You ?

I have a SC'd Tacoma but not an 80. However, I may have a line on a SC new in the box... I live in Texas - not as hot as where you are, but I think boosted vehicles need intercoolers.

Cool. Yes I have come to believe so to, Definitely needs an intercooler. I just wish there was a mass production type bolt on intercooler for the 80. Don’t know why TRD or Magnuson never made one to go with the SC for the 80. Someone dropped the ball on that.

I’m sure there are a few mudders who would be interested in the SC. All the threads I read there was always someone who seemed to want one. You should put it up in the classifieds for sale.

Thanks

Maybe you've already seen this thread: Water to Air Intercooler Kit for the TRD Supercharged FZJ80 Land Cruiser. It's a little dated.

I agree, boosted vehicles need the charge cooled before entering the cylinder.

yeah, I like that thread and kit.

But I like this one more and will try and do it. Already identified the parts on frozen boost and waiting for an appointment with the shop who will source and install the kit.

I wander if it’s possible to pipe in the ac to cool down the water in the intercooler or is that a no go ?

Dodge did it on the Demon.

yah I'm sure it has been done just wondering if anyone has done it on an 80
