93 sc400 1 jzgte vvti jzx100
So here is my sc its a 93 1 uzfe . I have a 1 jzgte vvti aka the jzx100 with r154 transmission .
I plan to do a top mount turbo and a new turbo as well . I know I need to go from front sump to rear sump . So I found a sc 300 at the salvage yard and will be getting my motor mounts an rear sump from that place as far as that goes I'm a bit lost on the rest... Lol in over my head... Wire harness from drtweak should help but not sure how to work it I mean how it works and what not and also the transmission not sure what I need to do to get that fitted as well .. So any help would be great...

What do you know about the ecu and the wiring to make this thing run. I know how to put the motor in the car and extend harness so I can mount my ecu where it needs to go but I'm unsure how the new ecu works in the car

I would highly reconsider tackling the wiring harness yourself...I spoke with someone at ZFever in Florida, and the guy swore that it's a pain in the A $ $. I would save up, and have someone do it for you, who has done it before. Like others have directed me, avoid Dr. Tweak. Try PanicWire, Suspicious Garage and ZFever. ZFever is going to be pricey as heck, but, you get a legit OEM looking harness done 100% the correct way and it is 110% PlugNPlay.
Weigh your options, see how much time you have to do it yourself should you choose that route. If you have money to play, save some headaches and get it done professionally.
Just my 2 cents. And before you ask....I'm going to pay out of my eye ***** to have it done professionally. Since I'm in no rush, and will be servicing the engine over a period of weeks maybe even months, I'll have time to save for my harness work.
edit: Anyone who says, "oh it's easy just follow the wiring diagrams," is probably either a genius with tons of time on their hands, or setting you up for a huge surprise. Either route you choose, I've heard the torque on these things is insane so we should be happy with our end product. Check out the ZFever downpipe for our JZX100's.
double edit: Not ZFever downpipe...Let me get back to you on that brand....It's Future Fab, they've got it on DriftMotion.

The whole wire thing just confuses me... I thought that nothin would need to be wired if the harness to the ecu was uncut lol I don't know I guess I'm blind on that end ...will haft to wait till I get the motor in...

Probaly going to go standalone on this as well been looking at aem infinity 6 . The tune shop here says it will do what I need it to do and will price match me and install for free .... Long way from that just yet but once I get started I will post tons of pics

So I started prepping to pull the motor ..also going to redo suspension as well it's old and dry rotten ... I did see the down pipe it's nice how ever I'm probably going with a full custom made set up ... And the aem infinity 6 sounds great to me as well and my tune shop says they will match me eBay price of 1400 and install it as well... Not a bad deal ....so let me ask something when you buy a wire harness it takes all the work out of re pinning the car to the ecu right ... It's just plug and play?

There is nothing wrong with Tweaked harnesses , ive used him in the past and still use him when I don't have time to do it myself. ive known him for a long time , always comes through and will go above an beyond to help you IF there is any issues.
Ive done business with him so I can Vouch for him.
