In with the GTE
So my GE motor is tired, guessing rings. And Im just going to swap it with a GTE non vvti motor. My question is do I have to use the ECU that comes with it or can I use the current one. I don't know what the regulations are on a obd2 swaps for state inspections. Basically I just want to know what people did to get the swap running rite. As many info as possible please.
Current setup.
99 vvti w AEM FIC
70 trim
full 3in exhaust no mufflers
780cc injectors
Supra FFIM
44mm WG
Big FMIC
255HP with aeromotive AFPR with return line.
Halmen MBC
etc

damn dude.. with that setup I would get some rods,pistons, rings, bearings, cams for the is300 vvti and rebuild over the gte. Just my 2 cents.
If you are gun hoe on the 2jz non vvti you will need the non vvti ecu/ecm. To keep it closest to stock (funny to say that) I would suggest an OBD2 2jz-gte, harness, and ecu/ecm

Klaus Just swap the GTE shortblock. Done and done.

OBD2 vehicles (96 and newer) require OBD2 diagnostics. I lived in Mass and they are emissions ***** (unless you know somebody).
Therefore, you will need to run an ECU with OBD2. The only GTE OBD2 ECU out is the USDM Supra TT. You could go with full Supra TT clip but that is gonna run some dough. There have been some successful Aristo GTEs and Supra TT ECU hybrids which give you a cheap GTE longblock with OBD2.
Phoenix Tuning is who you need to talk to.

Hmm I think I found a way around the obd2 testing but i'll have to replace my front windshield. So now I'm not worried about having a CEL from the 99 ECU i'll just pull the bulb since it wont be running anything engine wise. With some more research etc and electrical schematics I should be able to piggy back the Supra ecu

Well the engine arrived today I'm a little thrown off says its from a 98 was hoping it would be obd1, to be exact its from a 98 Toyota Chaser. Looks to be in overall good shape few broken sensor plugs etc. I'll start tearing into it tomorrow. Not sure but the valve cover seems to be painted that blue color threw me off thinking it was the vvti at first.

So My first question is did they give me all the wires harnesses needed. The pictures below the ecu comes with the 2 in one plug, so it leaves one missing..hope I don't need? And the plug shown in the back not sure what that is. If someone could enlighten me id appreciate.

You motor looks like an aristo motor. A 98 2jz should have vvti. What do you mean by two in one plug? If the plugs are able to completely fit in the gte ecu then i think the harness would be complete.
