Not to get too far off-topic Matt, but can you recommend a good aftermarket EBH?

I purchased mine through priuschat.com through Toyota of Canada. I'm not sure if it will also work on your car but maybe because it's a Toyota part. If you go to priuschat.com and click on the store you will see the one I use (but it has a metal rod that plugs into my engine block...not sure if your Toyota has that receptacle for the metal rod)?

If you do a search on ecomodder for Engine Block Heater or EBH you should find examples of what other guys use on their cars...maybe even some that are on Corollas.

What part of Maine do you live in? I've been thinking about organizing some type of New England ecomodder meetup in the spring but there's not a whole lot of guys up here. A few in Mass but not alot in New England.

I like
Instantaneous MPG GPH
Average tank MPG average trip MPG

I might switch out the trip average MPG for other but the first 3 are set.

Just spent my first night of driving around with the ScanGauge. (gotta be careful, this thing could be more distracting than a cellphone!)

After playing with a few of them, here's what I've got for the moment.

MPG - instantaneous TPS - throttle position
AVG - trip average fWT/fIA - temp water or intake air


I'll probably settle out and change the temp setting to something else, but for now its mostly because its interesting to watch my intake air temp, considering I've got a turbo and a small intercooler with not-so-great airflow to it. (and probably near zero airflow once I play with grill blocks)

So far in steady driving my fIA is ~15F above ambient. Have seen it rise to 50F over ambient after a long full throttle/full boost pull. Also can see it higher after the car is parked for awhile, with the intercooler and intake heatsoaking.
