Re: Yet more 1UZ ECU questions	Mon, 31 January 2005 17:43

witzl -- why do you recommend an aftermarket ECU? For performance, or for the sake of running the engine wihtout automatic trans? I was hoping to stick stock because (1) it's free, and (2) if you get the right computer, it "just works", no tuning required... sideshow -- thanks, good advice. i've been there -- missing pieces, running around trying to pick up what I need -- and I hate it. front cut is probably a good idea, either a crown royal front cut, or, give up on the manual and go with a local Lexus front cut and keep the auto (still an option). Question, though: if I got a Lexus front cut here, and found a crown royal ECU from australia, could I put 'em together? I'm just trying to avoid shipping a front cut from aus up here, obviously. I only asked about vvti in case someone here had already gone that route with a crown royal and knew how to do it. I don't even know how much vvti engines go for; I know early 1UZs are cheap and plentiful. I don't know much about EFI but I plan to learn before starting. I'm just in the research phase right now. I know swaps are spendy, so I'm taking time now to learn as much as I can. I am pretty sure if I do my research and do things smart I can do the swap for 5000 USD (me doing the work). But that's a separate issue. thanks again, folks. --eric [Report message to a moderator]
