Lexus ls460 TCU aa80e

Post by Neomaximus55 »

Hi everyone. I stumbled upon this forum by pure chance. Where I'm from, electric traction and information about new cars aren't as widespread.

Given the sanctions, I don't know how people will receive me here; I'm from Russia, Siberia.

I'm interested in either manufacturing an AA80E/AA80F automatic transmission control unit.

Or controlling the stock control unit via the CAN bus from this car.

The main problem is that I need to swap the 1UR-FSE engine to a different chassis. The engine is already running on a third-party ECU without the CAN bus.

I don't want to install a manual transmission.

The people here are reasonable and non-political. I doubt they'll be able to help you with your question. The forum is quite narrowly focused. I think you can find help here:http://orioncars.ru/

Sorry, you're a bit inattentive.
My 1ur-fse works at analogue VEMS ecu.

Orion Cars only works with factory ECUs.

This forum only deals with starting electric motors or hybrid transmissions separately from the internal combustion engine. It does not cover automatic transmission control units. If you're installing a Tesla engine in a UAZ, they'll help here.

Dear friend)) I came to this forum from here. The project's author is also on this forum.

And the 8hp** gearbox is very similar to the AA80e.

Sorry if links are prohibited.

This is the wrong forum for things like this. Check out:
- the megasquirt transmission controller
- diy efi
- speeduino transmission controller

There are others too.

some can, others can't?

Does anyone have a CAN-BUS analyzer for Lexus/Toyota?
I posted a thread on the OEM forum.
I have a stock automatic transmission unit. Perhaps it needs to be fed RPM, engine load, and ABS speed information, and it will shift gears 1-8.

Knowledge is power.

This is a forum for EVs and stretches to people attempting to do hybrids. The knowledge base here is around EVs. It's a bit like going to a sewing forum to ask about plastic surgery.

Understood you found a controller that might work for you here. We're trying to share that this isn't the best place for you to get support for what you're trying to do. If you decide to try to use that controller you'll likely get only partial support from this forum. It's not this forums focus, it's not about you, it's about what you're trying to do not fitting this forum / knowledge base as well as some other forums.
The person who developed that controller hasn't really had the time to get very into it and it's focused on ev swaps / hacking.

Can bus software, https://saleae.com/downloads other hardware works with their software.

I heard there's a forum for larger e-scooters :))))
If that's what the rules require, and I can't find help here, I'll leave this place.
I was hoping to at least communicate with people who had encountered this, or who would suggest a way.

In russian forums.... One answer,on all qwestions- "go to master,ask specialists")))
