So when looking around for a piggy-back for N/A I kept coming back to Split Second, but was disappointed upon hearing it only does timing retard. But then I read this...

"SplitSecond FTC1 / FTC1-E

The SplitSecond FTC1 is a common unit used in the Toyota trucks community, due mainly to the fact that they are used in Underdog Racing Developments 3.4l Supercharger Fuel Upgrade Kit. The unit is installed by soldering on to several wires in the ECUs wiring harness, and then hard-mounting the unit.

The unit is programmed using a serial connection to a computer or laptop, and contains two calibration maps. One map is used for fuel delivery and is given a 0-20 relative value (0-200%). This value increases or decreases the amount of fuel the ECU is trying to put into the engine, where 10 (100%) is neutral. The second map is used for timing advance/retard, and can advance or retard timing up to 20 degrees. Retarding timing is accomplished with positive values (5.0 for example retards the timing by 5 degrees) and timing advance is done with negative values.

The FTC1-E is identical to the FTC1, except that the FTC1-E has a built-in oxygen sensor signal clamp, which allows the unit to clamp a narrow-band oxygen sensors signal to 14.7:1. This clamp is very helpful in tuning the closed-loop regions of the map where a tuner wishes to run richer than the ECU would normally allow. This feature is discussed in more detail in Oxygen Sensor Calibrators."


Did anyone in the community know this? It appears that if you put in negative values it advances timing! Can anyone confirm this for the protege version?!?!
