According to on-line EMS Russian post calculator it is about 3-5$. The block weights nothing, so, it is cheap.
New fine-grained VSC OFF Mod for V6 1GR
- Thread starter Kliv
- Start date
Judging from the limited response maybe the price is a little high. Hard to say. I'd be interested in biying one but don't know when I'd get to installing it. Might take me a while to have the time so I wouldn't want people waiting for me to give them a review. You could also post on Toyota 120 forum as some there might be interested as well. I may buy one to try out anyway as I could really use it.

Yeah, it does look somewhat involved. I'm not interested as I already did the mod and only spliced one wire. Doesn't bother me that the center diff light lights up when I hit the switch, I know it's not locked.

2 chaz: Valid point. The only thing I would like to note that if you succeeded with VSC ECU wire connection under steering column in original mod, you would definitely succeed with other connections.
2 00328: I agree that you as a driver always know what is the state of center diff and might ignore the light on dash. As for me, if there is a way to avoid misleading info - I'd rather do that.
2 rdrunner: To be honest, I've never thought about 2wd with the mod. Personally, I can see no usage for it in our terrain. Anyway, It will work exactly like the original.
Thank you for advice with Toyota 120 forum... Wanted to register there long time ago but had no need.
From my point of view the price is reasonable. It will hardly fall.

Cool! We have first volunteer! Thank you for cooperation!
Please send your contacts privately and I'll get back to you with shipping number.
We need few days to build new block and ship it to you.
Too bad. For me being able to quickly disable it in 2wd would be very nice. For instance pulling out on a busy street from gravel when your back wheels hit the street the inside wheel slips a bit and vsc kicks in. Now your pulling into traffic at a virtual crawl.

It makes sense... Will think about the way to hack ECU for 2wd...

Exactly. Hit and go in 2wd.

Right. We might include the button in a pack, but it will not be cost efficient. You can buy it in US much cheaper ...

I will gladly be the #2 tester if nobody else has stepped up to the plate. I have done a few reviews on other products before, including one on this site for a XenonDepot HID kit that I can link for reference.
I've been looking into this mod for a while and it looks like you have a very complete solution. I agree with you also as far as not having additional lights show that are not necessary or incorrect (the center diff lock light showing locked when it is actually not.)
Just let me know and I would be happy to install and write a detailed review. I have an '03 Limited V8 4WD, for reference to check compatibility.

I thought that V8 owners have ECU with ability to switch off VSC... All you need is to buy a button and install it if you do not have it already.
If not, this mod will definitely work as wiring routine is the same (with small exceptions). I will double check it for V8'2003.
The only item is shipped to rdrunner for now.

As far as I understood there were still some 'loose ends' not accounted for, the wires for the switch are present but once wired in you would also see the diff lock light even though the diff was in fact still open. I could be wrong though.
That would be great if you could double check and see if it would be compatible, I will do a little more research into the mod as well.
Also for reference, here is a link to the HID kit review I did for Steve at XenonDepot:

And another review I did (on another forum) for Marco at Billet Engineering & Sean at OS Giken on their TS2B clutch:
