Howdy all,

As you may or may not know I am completely new to rice mobiles - all my other cars for fords or holdens - most recently a 1974 Torana I completely restored.

Anyway with a Soarer I can see various computer inputs and i assume some of these will be fore digitally tunes/updates.

Are the computers that do this available to the public, can I buy one? Can I buy software and leads to I can run it from a Laptop etc?

Any advice is welcome.

the soarer isnt a rice mobile firstly!

there is no need for a tune up,

you can get a piggyback for slightly increased performance

Ok thanks mate.

Can you elaborate on piggyback systems? I'm searching the web but it's not much help

Adam, I'm not looking to put a supercharger or extractors on at this stage but I am interested in fuel trimming and have a bit of control over it (as well as seeing exactly what is going on) ..

Which product are you using? Linkage? Costage? Id you'd prefer fire me a PM.

Cheers mate

hehe i wasnt referring to my mods warranting the ECU, but an example of an aftermarket ECU to replace your existing one.

I have to admit I wanted a Torana when I was in my early 20's.

Nice simple fun cars to work on. Horrible to drive, very uncomfortable and very high power wastage. Then again they are 40 years old...

I actually consider my Soarer nice and easy to work on, but then I guess its just the baby 2JZ, so not as complex as the 1UZ and 1JZ.
