I thought there was only one of those in existence, apparently after looking they came on the Japanese toyota Century Limo. Im sure it can be wired up with a standalone (with a lot of work and custom wiring).. It says the original engine runs off 2 ecu's anyways, so maybe 2 aem's could get the job done.

Top secret used two HKS F-Con ECUs for it. There are very few ECUs that can drive 12 injectors out of one box. Motec comes to mind, but I'm not sure who else. But it's truly not worth it. Out of the box it's not a very stout motor- you would need a fairly extensive build. You are far better cost wise stroking a UZ motor if you want the 5+L of displacement. Being "different" is not always better unless you are a shop trying to promote a brand which is exactly what top secret was doing with the 1gz. To date, I don't think they've offered a single performance part for the 1gz- it was entirely a demo piece.

Its called Waste Spark.
You could also get the computer & wiring diagram from Toyota then just wire it up urself when ready to do so the way u want. might take a good amount of time experience and money but hey y not.
