Cruise Control

[Bumble-bee]

Hi guys I have a 1991 Rev 2 turbo and it doesn't have cruise control, how easy is it to fit this to my car? Will I have it all set up and just need to plug it in or does it need to be wired in and I shouldn't bother?

There was a factory cruise control but it's very rare... that's the only thing that would be remotely plug-and-play.

Yeahhh if I can buy the factory one, is there a specific plug already there that I can plug it into and it'll work?

I'm not sure you've thought about what's involved, as it's more than just a plug... you will need:
The cruise control computer
The control stalk
The actuator
The throttle cable linkage
The clutch switch
A hell of a lot of wiring if it's not already in your car's loom

I take it my car already having it is rather slim :')

The wiring? I don't know, TBH!

What's the easiest way to check?

I'm 90% of your car had it to begin with, it would have it now. The work involved is almost as involving as changing transmission from automatic to manual if not harder.

Unless there is a trick you can do with an aftermarket ECU

it'd be far easier getting a universal kit like this

then get a camry control stalk which will fit the mr2 steering cowl and wire it to that

I was going to fit factory fit cruise to my old Turbo, but it's just a ballache if it never came fitted with it.

The suggestion above is what I planned to do with a WAECO unit. Problem was they use vacuum to power the actuator. No good with a turbo as you get positive pressure on the intake manifold.
Easiest solution was to fit a Range Rover vacuum pump that are pennies on ebay.

Trev did a factory cruise control write up on here somewhere, let me see if i can find it.

Edit: Wasn't Trev, and it wasn't a writeup! But it's been done. http://www.imoc.co.uk/forums/viewtopic. ... hlight=idl

I am currently looking to add it to my 97 japan import that didn't have it stock.

I got all the required pieces from a USDM mr2 and I am in the process of researching how to route all the wiring and what extra wiring I might need.
