Standalone for AE86 4age to AE82 4age

[tolisspi]

I have some questions.
Can i use a standalone kit for AE86 on my AE82 ECU? Have i change something? ll it Work?

Yes you can use a standalone unit from the AE86 to be used on the AE82. But the pins are different on the ECU, which means you have to get connectors.

What do you mean "the pins are differents"? My ecu has 10-18-14 pins. Exactly, my ecu is from celica-corona coupe-carina 4age 85-87. Here is a pic


but ihave an ecu from AE82 European edition like that


Can i use a map from AE86 to my car?
Thanks a lot mate
im waiting your answer.

Have a look at the plugs of the AE82 ECU, it should be the same 10-18-14 configuration. The only possible difference will be in the pin functions. By that I mean that pin 1-10 in your AE86 ECU might have a different function to pin 1-10 in the AE82 ECU. Appart from finding the wiring diagrams for each one, you can take the covers off and have a look at the circuit boards. There should be a designation for each pin. If these all match, then plug and play. If not, then find your wiring diagrams and determine what each pin does.

Thanks a lot mate but i dont have an ecu of AE86. maybe i can check it with wiring diagrams of ae86'w ecu and ae82'w ecu.

Which brand do you think that i can use? standalone or piggyback? My project includes cam 272 10,3 lift, pistons 82mm

You've got me a bit turned around here. So, you've got an AE86 wiring loom in there at the moment and you are a) changing engines, or b) changing computers?

It sounds like you're changing computers, as engine is just plug it up and go. So if you're looking for a standalone ECU then it doesn't matter. Just find one that you're comfortable with, considerations will be:

1)Price
2)Functions
3)Access to a tuner you trust

Just about all brands should be able to provide a linking cable to match your current loom to the computer. I would suggest a standalone over a piggyback.
