Yes, you'll need a new ecu (as I said above). An n/a ecu can not control a 2jz-gte.

...Among other things, you'll need a TT ecu, an ignitor, possibly an injector resistor pack, a different maf (I believe), and a new downpipe...
Used TT ecus usually go for about $200 last time I checked. A brand-new harness from 'yota is about $800 or so. Honestly I wouldn't try to make a second-hand harness work - they're usually full of broken plastic connectors and sometimes other continuity problems. Just mho.

NB: Please consider posting any help requests in a new thread instead of asking me for help privately. About 99.9+% of the time, private help requests end up covering great information that could be very valuable to other forum members. If you have a good reason for needing the help request to be private, I'll consider it. If not, then why not give everyone else the opportunity to pitch in too, and/or learn from the information? Remember, there's no such thing as a dumb question. We're all here to help within this family of Supra owners.
