4AGE 20V Blacktop ecu help
Posted: Sun Nov 22, 2015 10:18 pm
Hello,
I recently got a 4age 20v blacktop engine to put in my corolla e11, im not sure of the condition of the engine so I want to rebuild it first before swapping it in. I was planning on Tomie rods and pistons for the bottom end and keeping the head stock. My concern is will the stock ecu be able to handle the change in compression from the new Tomie pistons, will it be safe to drive around with the stock ecu or will I need an aftermarket ecu and then a tune if so what ecu should I get and where do I get a base map for it because since its going to be a newly overhauled engine its not very good to go straight to tuning without a break in period of about 1000-1500kms. I have no experience with toyota and I have little knowledge about this kind of stuff in general so im very sorry about the noob question.
Thanks and regards
