URD MAF Sensor Calibrator

Just received the URD MAF Sensor Calibrator. Will try to install this weekend and know I'll need to tune it. Just a couple of wire taps and cuts on the ECU and the unit is in. For the tune I am looking to get an Innovate LM-2 Wideband O2 Meter. Will be a little while until I get that $$. You can also buy an exhaust clamp (from Innovate) to clamp the a/f sensor into the tailpipe instead of welding a bung for it. I only want to get the feedback to tune with it so don't want it to be permanently in my vehicle.

Some people say that you get the most accurate readout before the Cats which is why you should weld a bung but Gadget said they tune using the clamp method as well. Heck I'm not racing the thing and I don't want to make a hole in exhaust and weld so clamp it will be.

To tune here is what Mr. Gadget said:

"Will need an OBD scan tool that lets you monitor internal ECU fuel trims and a wideband display unit to know what the AFR is in open loop, and a Window PC with a serial port or serial port adapter."

This says the map is loaded for a 1GR-FE engine with TRD intake but they have NOT tested this setup on a 5th 4runner. Only setup they have tested/tuned on a 5th with this unit is a completely stock 4R. Will let ya know more as I get more involved with it.

Pictures below:

What comes in the box. Tuning software (CD), decal, "Unit", instructions and pin layout (on back of instruction sheet)

Unit itself. Has hole to mount on both sides. Just a funny angle pic

When you unscrew the box you find the serial port where you connect to tune it. They make serial to usb cables if your comp. doesn't have serial connection

Installed the URD MAF Sensor Calibrator over the weekend and it went smooth. Took roughly two hours or so. Most of that time was staring at the car to figure out how the glove box comes out. The ECU you have to tap is behind the passenger glovebox. Found a knee airbag I didn't even know our vehicles had! haha. Had to remove the entire glove box and knee airbag. Couldn't get the airbag harness disconnected so I just moved it out of the way while I worked. Happy to say I didn't break a single clip or tab.

Instructions are straight forward and after install the Calibrator box fit right into the passenger kick panel so you would never know it's there. Since the calibrator was loaded with a blank map it still runs just like factory. Now I just have to get a tuner to tune and we will be in business.

If you use wire taps just make sure to tap using the correct fit taps so you don't end up putting everything back together realizing the tap was too large and is not making contact with the wire! :boink:
 
any further update? tuned?

No update yet. I still have not bought the tuner to get the ball rolling. In the process of buying a dirt bike. Priorities haha. Will be a month or two before I consider getting the tuner to do so and will post on here when I do!

Did URD not have a generic profile map for our version of the 1GR-FE that you could try?
 
Any update to this? I've searched around and cant find one. I had the calibrator on my '07 FJ and loved it. Made a huge performance difference. No dyno, just the feeling of almost getting pinned to the seat. :)

I'd like to get one for my '12 4R Trail, but I was curious as to if anyone else has it installed.
 
hot thread :biggrin1::flamethrwoer2::bolt:

No answers for 5 years, I suspect it didn't do too much of anything exciting... just sayin'
 
OP or others didn't post any performance related info as they claimed they would.

Not many willing to drop in aftermarket superchargers either.

That's all. Not that I am not curious, just don't think your going to get any feedback.

the cost of this vs a supercharger is not even in the same ball park...

dude that was full on sarcasm, sorry I didn't use green text. :) ;):


but hey messing around with a $1400 ECM and you're starting to get up there
