whilst looking for possible controllers for my twin vnt's i came across this :-) even states that toyota a340 boxes are supported :-) BAM BAM!

I've got a similar unit for my BMW 1UZ 4 speed conversion, it made by the company in your link but it's marketed through a different company (TCI) in USA.

Still have yet to wire it up, but I will give my feed back on it when it's up and running.

What about the limp mode mentioned on the website?

Would need a wheel with buttons too...

nice :-) this would be ideal for my needs. what sort of adjustments does it provide with the pwm outputs? frequency-duty cycle? and are they reversible? (i read it says can privide either 12v signal or -12v signal. i'm curious as to whether it can reverse the voltages on the same map from vacuum to boost.. that would be awesome if it can :-)

says toyota a340 is supported by the site. so i would say they have overcome that. the toyota ecu only uses solenoid inputs and speed sensor inputs so you could configure a few of the pwm outputs to give the desired speed sensor signals and the digital outputs to give the solenoid on off signals, which allows button shifting. altezza steering wheel with e-shift buttons will work. ;)

The paddle shifter on the site would solve that problem!!!

Hey Allan, do you lose normal automatic operation completely?

Does your engine run on limp mode? How would it react to a shift kit?

I'm using mine on a Cressida Wagon, it has MANY extra inputs and outputs (also runs my fuel pump and thermo fans PWM and outputs a speedo signal for my cruise control) you can change from full auto to manual, I suggest you download the software and have a look.

Worth every cent (I previously owned a suprastick and while it worked i was not happy with it)

I don't see there being an issue putting one in the soarer you just need to make sure you keep the factory ecu happy buy still feeding it speed inputs and you may need to put a dummy load on the solenoid outputs.

PWM outputs control pulsed solenoids based on duty cycle (percentage of active time).
PWM devices must operate at the appropriate frequency. The TCU offers a wide range of
selectable frequencies, which you should use to plan the wiring of your PWM outputs. Select an
output type of ground for devices that require a ground connection to activate. Select an output
type of 12 volts for devices that require a power connection to activate. The operating frequency
of the PWM solenoids in your transmission is not easily found in many cases. Please contact
your dealer if you need further assistance with this parameter. Our online web forum is also a
good location for installers and users to share information regarding specific applications and
parameters like PWM frequency. For a complete list of PWM output options, please refer to
chapter 3.


according to that i cannot have both a ground and positive 12v on one particular output. only way around it is to configure two outputs one with 12v positive and one with ground activation. and run reverse circuit protection on all lines. output 1 positive and output 2 ground on one terminal of the vnt actuator and output 1 ground and output 2 positive on the other terminal..... or piss them off altogether and use a heavy duty servo directly controlled by a single pm output...

what you want is a servo controller from the sounds of it! send me some photos of what your trying to control!

a two wire dc actuator.
Upload

since it's only two wires only way it will work that i can see is to have a bi- polar relay.
i was thinking of using the EMB AUX output to trigger a normal relay to act as an on/ off switch for the reverse polarity relay. 12v ignition into power and ground will be to the sub-injector -5v pwm signal, then wire the other two contacts of the bi-polar relay into the twin vnt actuators.

does it have a position sensor?

it has a 6 pin position sensor on the other side of the of the actuator.

gut the actuator and run it to an RC servo via cable and then use one of these

already thought of using servo's but would rather keep the stock stuff on there. if i had to take it off i would opt for a linear actuator with about a 1" extension. more torque and can handle the heat. or hook up the stock wastegates off the ct12a's so that the vanes are pulled in the fully closed position when it see's vacuum. and have a boost controller open up the vanes when it see's 10psi. easier but less control. although the evc6 and boost vs throttle or rev mapping could enable a little bit more control. it would actuate the wastegate actuators in a smoother fashion as they would only start moving once 10psi is attained. if it opens to quickly and pressure drops as a result it quickly shuts and so on. effectively using the vnt system as a wastegate as well. the ar ratio of the exhaust turbine when the vanes are open is fairly massive. and when closed very small. i think from .1 rear to .7 or something along those lines.i'll have to do a measurment once i have pulled them apart but dimensionally they are just as big as ct12b's

Man... This coupled with a shift kit. It would make for a weapon on the track. I know for sure I am super fast on the G27 pedals on GT5 as compared to manual shifting!!!

haha nice. it certainly is looking more and more attractive :-) but for now cam'z shift box on my auto works extremely well. :-)

I heard with the Cam's shift box you lose full auto functions?

when its in manual mode yes. flick the switch, and its back into normal operation/ full auto mode. i have mine wired up so that the v8 suspension switches are there to control the converter lock-up and overdrive functions when in manual mode.
