Dustin and I put in my SAFC a few weeks ago and just wired it in yesterday

I have not yet messed with any correction settings, nor have I figured out exactly what everything means and what it does. right now its just a 'glorified gauge'

if anyone has tested and found the ideal settings for the stock 7A, please share smile.gif

along with an instruction manual, wiring diagrams, and connectors that we didn't use anyway



WIRING:
on my stock '97 7AFE

I looked up the 96+ ECU wiring diagram, the pinouts from a 94-95 are the same but the wire colors are different. If you're installing an SAFC do not go by wire color only, use the wire colors as a guide but make sure they come from the correct pinout on the correct plug. in the 1997 Toyota Wiring Book one of the wire colors is wrong. (Note: this was done on an auto wiring harness plugged into a manual ECU. although I'm pretty sure the pinouts are the same, just some of my wires in the last connector do nothing and those with factory manuals probably won't have anything in those pinouts)

^when to splice or cut and where

E5 Connector (26 pin)
RPM Signal : pin #3 : BLACK/YELLOW wire on the harness
this goes to the GREEN wire from the SAFC
(Note: in the 97 Wiring Book it says this wire is Green/Yellow but splicing into that wire will disrupt your IAC and set your CEL. make sure you double check the pinout)

GROUND : pin #14 : BROWN
goes to BROWN on the ECU side
and BLACK on the engine side of the same wire
(Note: all the grounds eventually go to a junction connector and become one wire but I used the ground from the specific pinout just in case)

E6 Connector (16 pin)
MAP Sensor : pin #2 : BLUE
to YELLOW on the ECU side
and WHITE on the engine side

Throttle Signal : pin #11 : BLACK/WHITE
to GREY from the SAFC

E7 Connector (22 pin)
IG Power : pin #12 : BLACK/RED
to RED on the ECU side
and RED/WHITE on the engine side


Power : any wire that gets power with the key in the ACC or ON position : we used the GREY wire from the cigarette lighter



INSTALLATION:
Theres not really a nice place to mount it so I decided to get rid of the pocket under the radio and devise a way to hold it behind the center console trim. Theres a little ledge on the back side of the center console trim that holds it up perfectly against the bottom of the radio. Its not quite long enough so I still have to figure out a way to cover up the right side but heres the pictures...

and the different Monitoring modes are completely customizable, you can choose what you want to monitor and where its displayed:

digital (up to 4 channels)
IPB Image

analog

or a combination

looks good.. nice write up .

i put my safc in the same spot, but i just used black velcro tape over top of that pocket under the radio. this way, if i need to hide the safc, i can just stick it inside of the pocket and close the door.
