Yes stock ecu! It was tuned to rev to 7000, but otherwise it’s stock. The only mod to the harness was to trick the ecu to think it’s in park, and with the button in the car to put it in drive for cruise control.
I still have some questions about the upgraded steering wheels from 7 gen camry, could you make a video on how you modified the wired from the clock spring? Thank in advance!
In the first video, you mention the cruise control wont work unless you trick the ecu which you guys have with the push button start and actually physical key. If you gotten the ecu from lets say Frankenstein motorworks, do they have the ability to make the cruise control work?
To further explain what is happening, the stock ECU only allows cruise control to work when the selector is in D, or drive. On an ECU that isn't tuned, the stock computer does not develop full power in Drive, UNLESS the automatic transmission is detected. This is an issue because when you swap the transmission, you obviously want full power, So thankfully the stock ECU still develops full power in Neutral or Park. What Frankenstein Motorworks is doing is telling the ECU to stop looking for the automatic transmission, and as a result, cruise control will function in Drive, and still develop full power. Hopefully, that helps a bit more!
Hi, ive got all the parts for the swap except the transmission mount bracket that goes under the transmission. If you were to ever come across one, would you be willing to sell it? Its the only part holding me back from doing the swap and in my area, the junkyard doesnt seem to have any manuals. Thanks for your time and you have some really cool builds.😎
@@WiseGuyzGarage my mistake. I misunderstood your previous Camry video. I thought you did a swap because you were talking about the engine mounts and positioning the engine
You can use the stock ecu either way! Doesn’t matter if you use the stock ecu, it will run just throw the 2 transmission codes. It NEEDS to be in drive for cruise control, and “park” for full power.
I have a 2016 XSE V6. I swapped the single piston calipers for the highlander dual piston. It us night and day difference. You shoukd give it a try.
@@53066bootleg thanks that’s a great idea!

I can look into it for sure not a bad idea!

Yes Marc’s ecu would allow cruise control to work with full power in drive

I can find you the part number when I get back home!!!
@@WiseGuyzGarage that would be very helpful, thank you very much, it is greatly appreciated😎

@@WiseGuyzGarage OMG, THANK YOU SO MUCH. I was so stressed because I couldnt find one but this is amazing!
@@JamesAnderson-fw5ew absolutely!!!
Very nice
Thanks for watching!
When you upgraded the 4 cylinder to the 2GR, what did you do about the ECU? Did you swap in one from a V6 Camry?
Car was originally a v6 and a 6 speed automatic. Going from 4cyl to v6 is much more expensive and difficult unfortunately.

No worries!
So if I didn’t care about cruise control and wanted to save a dollar I can just use my stock ecu?
