Another thing to consider is even if you get the clip or the engine with an uncut harness you will still have to cut it if you want to put the ECU in the stock location behing the glove box. The engines are coming from a RHD car and the harness will need about an extra 3 feet of wire or so to make it to the stock location of a LHD Supra. Your either going to end up with a splice area in your engine compartment or maybe you can find some sort of connecters at radio shack you would need two at least complete with pins. The problem with that idea is getting the plugs wet in the engine compartment so the splice area sounds better now that I think of it unless your going to use a potting compound to seal the plugs from moisture.
