Turbo BS Thread

Bad day: Good news I didn’t blow up the engine like some may have thought, I didn’t even get to try it because the harness doesn’t match.
This is the trucks ecu^^^
and this is the harness. They definitely don’t match unless I’m missing something

 

Shouldn't that have been something you checked before doing all that work with the connections?

Don't take that the wrong way, but measure twice- cut once can save you time/money/aggravation

 

Ouch!

 

It looks like the harness is for a 01-04 ECU.

YOu can compare them here:

Yes your right even though I was told by the company that this was the one I needed to get after sending the vin# and info on the truck I SHOULD HAVE CHECKED !!!

 

Yeah I never trust what anyone says I should have until I look at it myself lol. Happened with my exhaust manifold studs- everyone says they were M10, when they were actually M8. Luckily I ended up buying both sets and just returned the extra set. So annoying though.

 

$200 down the toilet!!

 

If you gave them the Vin and they still provided the wrong harness, then I would contact them(respectfully) and ask them to fix the issue.

 

It looks more like the 1999 one I think

 

Yes I messaged them I guess I could call

 

If you look at page 78 on that link I posted, you'll see there are two different types of connectors for 2000, one for the Cali spec and one for the non Cali spec. 2000 was the year Toyota started switching the Tacomas over to being all California emissions so some of the Tacomas use one type of connector and some use the other one.

When I ordered one from my truck I checked that document and compared what my ecu looked like before ordering it from URD.

 

ouch

 

The harness I sent is almost the same minus the e6 plug I believe if you don’t need anything on that plug you might be able to still use it.

 

Good news. I'll be getting the correct harness Typ. B hopefully in the next week and will only be loosing the differences in price on each one and shipping. I'll take that it's better than loosing everything and of course when I get it I'll make sure it's going to fit first.

 

That's great I mean really what's that harness cost them to make? A few bucks, maybe. Good customer service right there.

Also you're kind of a dummy for not checking that out LMAO

 

Right bet

 

same

 

Should be weekend boosting
