My only concern about this swap is the management! I know that there is ways to do it by running both ecus and piggy backs are really not something i like to mess with. I spoke with a few guys from Stage6 here in Jax about this swap, and all they had to say is that its a pain in the neck to get it wired up right, and there is no standalone out for it. AEM only makes the universal kit for it with the harness that has to be custom made, has anybody messed with that before, and is there any other alternative to the ems out there? Im just looking for something that has full capability to tune, and tune right, I cant afford down time in case something goes wrong, it has to be tuned safe. What are the options, what piggy backs do you use, anything would help!

the first thing i did on my car was throw the factory ecu out :lol: i knew for the beginning i was using an aem so i had no need for it, besides the fact its kinda ugly right there.
mikal is more than likely right on the supra harness working on a vvti motor. i prolly should have clarified that when i posted which motor i am using. i have the non-vvti gte motor, so it works just fine for me. i got most the wiring done last night and hooked the aem up, powered up first time no problem, just gotta get the exhaust done now.

I actually used the stock dash-6 line as the return and ran a dash-10 line up to the front. I drilled a hole in the hanger and ran a bulkhead through it. Then attached two walbros. What a pain in the ***. I am in the process of having a machine shop make a hanger. I will probably get like ten made and have them for sale. Let me know if your interested. Here's a pic of the hanger.

save yourself some money and dont get the aluminum racing fittings. just get steel ones, they are about 1/4 the price. besides you dont see them anyway, who cares if they are pretty. get the nice ones for where you can see them at.
i did the same as burgundy with mine, factory line for return, but then i did(2) -6 lines, one for each pump to the new fuel rail.

couple quick questions. is anyone having problems with their batteries in the factory location??? i didnt want to chance it, so i relocated it to the rear of the car.
also, what the hell are the plug wires for??? so the vvti motors only have 3 coils??? mine has a coil per cylinder.
