Matt Harwood Posted February 16, 2003 Share Posted February 16, 2003 AFAIK, Mines simply modified the standard ecu... As Mark says, wait for Alex to confirm as he will know for certain Got to be a good thing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dude Posted February 16, 2003 Author Share Posted February 16, 2003 Its def the toyota ECU with this plaque on it and that has a serial number so perhaps i can find out what they did to it . John:thumbs: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonball Posted February 16, 2003 Share Posted February 16, 2003 If it's a mine - don't touch it! Oh - I just kill myself sometimes...! Gets coat... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted February 16, 2003 Share Posted February 16, 2003 Well well well...another one of these turns up. Yes its a MINES modified ECU. http://www.mines-wave.com They are one of the best tuners - right up there with JUN and Top Secret. With it you gain. A fuel map to 1.1bar FCD (its never cut even accidentally ran 22psi!) SDL (de-limited) uprated ignition timing Basically it is a good thing! U cannot run UL on this ECU. ONLY Optimax or SUL.....and if you are going for a track day, load the tank with Toluene too and it will take advantage as its got a 100octane optimised map. Oh and NO-ONE in Britain can tell you anything....or they arn't allowed to. Shin from Prospec-ms is the only MINES dealer in the UK - though Option claim to be able to help...

Alex Posted February 16, 2003 Share Posted February 16, 2003 Not worth anything...sorry...everyones too scared of it...tried to swap them before, no takers. No you shouldn't need the TRL and in fact it might confuse it more...not sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dude Posted February 16, 2003 Author Share Posted February 16, 2003 Alex whats 22psi in bar and there is no one i can ask about this ECU ? John:flame Dev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted February 16, 2003 Share Posted February 16, 2003 Shin at http://www.prospec-ms.co.uk is your best bet for more info. But he is not allowed to work on MINES stuff he hasn't installed. its a contractual thing. 22psi was a unexpected 1.45bar needless to say i quickly turned the boost back down!!!
