	Hi all, I'm from the states but I'm down here on these forums to chat with the real experts.  I'm planning a 1UZ -> RA21 conversion.  Manual trans is strongly preferred.  I understand the engine ECU from the crown royal is a favorite since it operates w/o the trans ECU.  However, I don't think this car was ever sold in north america.  Questions: 
 
* What do these ECUs cost used down there?  Are they easy to find? 
 
* When were they made?  Are they OBD-I or OBD-II? 
 
* Are they relatively generic, ie, if it's an OBD-I ECU for instance will it work on a north-am market OBD-I 1UZ? 
 
* Are there VVTi versions?  A VVTi 1UZ would be very sweet if I could get an stock ECU both to work with a manual trans, and to fake it out with all the other crap it depends on (e.g., ABS, etc).  I'm guessing this is out of the question, though. 
 
* What all do I physically need?  I'm a newbie to EFI, so...  I know I need the box, and all the wires coming out of it, that hopefully connect to sensors, injectors, and ignition on the engine... Pardon my ignorance. 
 
BTW, this is *mild* conversion.  I don't have lots of money, time, or expertise.  Aftermarket ECU is probably too costly and complex. 
 
thanks all.  --eric
