My cars now and my last car were all drive by wire.
I have to say I miss direct throttle cable soooo much. The only good drive by wire car i've driven extensively is the E46 M3 otherwise. Are you keeping AC? |

DBW is bad on stock ECUs. On standalones however it's nearly the same as cable throttle. It responds just as fast, but the direct link feel is lost, because the pedal almost always has less resistance to it.

With spare parts stateside is appealing to me.. -------------------- Learned a lot in 10 years... I hardly log in anymore, last login Today Sept 6 2019, and I was forced just to clarify a post. LOL

I'll bet you can take the pedal apart and install a firmer spring

QUOTE (njccmd2002 @ Oct 23, 2014 - 10:14 AM) thanks. 2grfes dont use cable throttles. they are drive by wire and use a specific pedal..  You are a crazy man. Crazy genius. But still crazy! I honestly can't even imagine the work just to do the pedal! I'm going to have to come to TN so see this beast when it is finished! |

I'm going to have to come to TN so see this beast when it is finished! the bracket itself took 7 hours, give or take 2. because i had no idea of the positioning of the pedal, so it was trial and error. now that i have a basic idea, should be quicker. This swap is slow, because im collecting parts as i go. If i break one barrier, i move on to the next. remember, i had no idea the engine would fit in the bay, it would have been a 2700$ loss for me... ( there are cheaper, but not with less than 25K miles and complete with all accessories). this is the bracket on the car... DSCN1377  of course had to make sure that DSCN1376  i used long bolts, and thread locker... Do not want to get loose on me.. Same went for the pedal... DSCN1378  and next task, will be to find out if these go in with no problem... DSCN1379  hate to take a loss on them.....

Won't you throw automatic transmission DTC's with the PCM for the 2GR, or did your 2GR come from a manual car?

yes he will, the only car with a 2GR thats a manual is the Lotus Evora. Most of the AT codes can be defeated except one. The MR2 guys have been fighting it for years.

to answer the questions...
1. I know how the rears fit... wont say for now.. 2. Yes i will throw a code.. 3. it wont put the engine on limp, otherwise i would not have done swap.. (mr2 guys have all of it covered.) -------------------- Learned a lot in 10 years... I hardly log in anymore, last login Today Sept 6 2019, and I was forced just to clarify a post. LOL

I remember a fellow with a MZ in their MR2 that was doing funky things with an auto PCM, pulling timing at certain RPM's and I think it was related to the codes thrown.

At some point wouldn't it just be easier to use a standalone than to bother with the factory ECU?

It has not been fully developed yet. So i would rather be safe for now, than sorry, than to blow an engine. I cant tune, and wont be paying hundreds to get it tuned, nor do i have a dyno near. -------------------- Learned a lot in 10 years...
