7M-GTE ecu question

One of my friends has recently picked up a 7m-gte to put into his mk2 supra.
now the thing didnt come with an ECU and he wants to know if he can get an aftermarket ECU to run everything, or does he need to buy a stock 7m ecu then piggyback an aftermarket one onto it?
he also wants to know if there is a way of doing this without the wiring harness, as in getting somone to maybe make a custom one up to suit the aftermarket ecu(as the one that came with it was damaged beyond repair along with the ECU) or again is it more viable to try find an undamaged 7m-gte wiring harness?
pretty much in the end he wants to end up with an aftermarket ECU, but wants to know how he should go about doing this...with or without the stock ecu
PS i hope that makes sence :/

hey dude
i can wire up any ecu u get for the engine
to rewire the 7mgte to yr supra would cost 400
to wire up an aftermarket ecu would cost 500
the only thing u have to decide is whether to spend 200 or so on factory wiring and 300 on an ecu
or 1500 for an aftermarket computer and new wiring loom

If hes got to go to the trouble of finding a new wiring harness for the 7MGTE and the right ECU, I'd be more inclined to just buy a new aftermarket ECU. You know its going to be right, it'll be brand new, and there aren't things that the factory ECU controls that the others cant.

Id go straight for the aftermarket ecu.
Less hassle, i put the factory ecu in and then had major issues getting it to run properly. So after alot of time wasted i put a microtech in and made a loom up easily with the one supplied with the mtech ecu. Its alot better, clearer and straight forward.
