Im needing some info on transplanting a 1ggte motor into a Hilux.
Ive seen it done but dont know if I should buy a front cut and use the std ECU and wiring ect.
Or am I better of using a blank motor and and a single turbo and a after market ECU something like a Haltech.
Can the Std ECU be used or will there be problems (in case of does the ecu run other part of the car wich the hilux doesn't have like speedo ect)

there are differences between auto and manual engine ECU's - from my reading, the gearbox ecu can:
tell the engine ECU to modify timing during gearshifts,
probably modify engine behaviour if overdrive (torque lockup) engaged,
tell the engine to run in 'limp home' mode if gearbox sensors (particularly speed) not all hooked up,
there's two speed sensors on the A340e gearbox that i have, ons is used by the gearbox ecu, the other went to the (not used) digital speedo,
cruise control would only add to this complication.
fwiw: if i put my 1G into the RA40, it will be with megasquirt EFI (i butchered the loom upon removal) and either a W58 manual, or a A340e with a sequential shift kit (not using factory gearboxECU).
btw: there's a few previous discussions about 1G ECUs if you search for them. also ddeane and sideshow seem to know heaps about wiring...

If you have the money go with an aftermarket ecu I am running an EMS ecu on my ra23 and I have no problems at all and I havent even got it on the dyno yet
I am running the standard fuel map they sent out with it.
BEN
P.S the factory computer looked to hard to wire up so I never tryed

There is no problem using the standard ecu without the auto or speed inputs. A manual ecu is better though as it is mapped slightly differently and will give better performance when matched to the manual box over the auto ecu. You can still run a single turbo with the factory ecu provided you don't reach the limits of the AFM or injectors.
