    Help! Split Second ESC-1 on 2001 Corolla

    Does anyone have any idea or any instructions on how to hook a SplitSecond ESC-1 up to a 2001 Toyota Corolla? I'm thinking about pulling the Turbo Rolla out of mothballs and try to get it back on the street again but without the ESC-1 it will just run super lean under boost and pop another engine. Any help would be appriciated since I am going to attempt the install and put the car back togather tomorrow.

    Thanks!

    the ESC1 goes between the the O2 sensor and the ECU on the signal wire. it's meant to manipulate the signal coming from the O2 sensor to the ECU while under boost to trick the ECU into thinking that the mixture is stoimetric so that the ECU doesn't cut fuel when it senses that you're running rich (which you do under boost). If you don't know which wire this is, measure with a meter. Don't put it on the constant signal wire, put it on the fluctuating.

    The question of the hour is... you bought the ESC-1 knowing what it should do but don't know how to install it? I fear for you. ;)

    No worries, I knew what it did I just wanted some help with the pinouts on the ECU, etc. But we got it figured out 2 days ago and it is installed and functioning and the car is holding 11-12AFR under bost. we'll fine tune it later on I just wanted it drivable without burning up the rings :D
