Gotcha. difference I'm seeing from auto to manual is the NSW (Neutral start switch) and the n/c (clutch switch). As far as the ECT, I won't even be using that, so that's no biggie. Tell me, why shouldn't I use a JDM MT ECU then? It looks like it's what I need.

Are you talking about comparing the pin-outs on the AT and MT ECU's or the harnesses? Either way, I'd need one of each to compare; which I don't have. I was hoping someone would just know. Ah ha, I just reread your post. I thought you wrote FCD (which the VPC eliminates the need for). I've...

For the love of god people, do I need to start a new thread now to answer the questions I posed in the FIRST POST OF THIS THREAD? There are numerous threads already of why a JDM ECU is needed on a 7M engine not running an EGR or Stand-alone. If you have something to add to that I recommend...

The guy I bought my engine from was running stand-alone and capped off the egr by threading caps into the EGR ports in the back of the head. The engine is now installed (ref. avatar) and it would be a RPITA to get an EGR in there while the engine is still in the bay; not even sure it's possible...

So nobody knows? I really would like to get this engine fired up, but I'm not trying to buy several different ECU's in an attempt to figure this out for myself. Someone on here must know!

Yes, but should I go JDM MT ECU or JDM AT ECU? Since even tho the car is now a manual, I'm still using the original AT engine wire harness. I'm wondering the same thing. How so?

Here's the deal. My 90T Supra was originally a AT and has now been converted to a manual. The engine now also no longer runs EGR and will using a VPC piggyback. Ok, since I'm not going to be putting an EGR on the engine, I'll be needing a JDM ECU so the engine won't lean out on me...

Yeah, they look good to me.

You can snag a new heater core from Autozone or Napa for around 50 bones. The quality looks fine to me, but I never did install mine yet. I was going to repaint the dash, so I figured I might as well change my core while I'm in there. Now I find that the heater pipe coming into the engine bay on...

I had the exact same thing happen to me on engine #2. Unfortunetly, the pulley bolt was completely fubar and would eventually get loose when I tried to keep tightening it on the crank. I tightened it as best I could and kept driving. Roughly 30 minutes later the bolt flew out and I destroyed my...

^ What is that? A Miata?

I know I can use a AT ECU on a Manual. I heard that the idle is just a few hundred rpm higher. I'm asking if there would be any benefit of going to a manual ECU at this point since I have to swap my US ECU out for a JDM one.

Doh! It never ends. Well, there's no way I'm gonna screw with that back bolt and rethread for a EGR, so I'll have to go the JDM ECU route. I see 2 JDM AT ECU's on ebay right now for around 100 bones. Since my ride started as an auto, should I stay with an auto ECU? Or should I switch over the...

LOL. Nah, the EGR is all blocked off. The engine's previous owner capped is off by threading bolts in. I was going to put the Lipp block-off plates I have over them, but what's the point? As far as the ECU goes, I was just planning on using my OEM US AT ECU. Why? Is this a problem?

Sounds good man. I'll be giving you a call to set something up. A big thanks goes out to cruisnhard for helping drop the engine in on Saturday. You the man Paul! I coudn't have done it without you. I'd also like to throw a shoutout to SWD Fredester 3 who helped with the fuel lines. Now all...

You can give this stuff a try: http://www.secondskinaudio.com/thermal-acoustic-insulation/firewall.php?category=129 I've used the non-ceramic stuff on my engine bay and undercarriage and even my gas tank (and soon the entire interior). Really great product. Weighs next to nothing when...

Anyone heard from him yet?

Any reputable car cover company will offer a line of covers designed to keep moisture out, yet also let condensation that builds on the surface of the vehicle evaporate through. I once had a covercraft cover on a accord of mine for 14 months and it harshed through the elements just fine. The...

Don't anyone get me wrong. Tub's is awesome; hence why I want my business going his way. It's not like a sent him money for parts and never got them yet. I just wanted to make sure he was still around so I could send him a payment. I'm getting some engine bay stuff off of him, and I can't drop...

Hey shaeff, what's his son's forum name? I'll shoot him a PM. Thanks.
