k i have an 88 supra auto with the 7mgte motor. it a roll over so i wanna take the engine out of it and put it in my 86.5 supra which is non turbo 7m-ge motor and is 5spd BUT the engine harness and dash harnesses are completely different cuz i wanna get rid of the auto. and use 5spd is there 2 seperate engine harnesses? 1 for turbo w/auto and 1 for turbo w/manual?. cuz i know i need a different ECU cuz the 88 ecu is 7MGT A/T and the one outta the 86.5 is 7MG M/T. but is there a way i can use the nonturbo harness on the turbo engine? Thanks and help would be friggin awesome here! this probably doesnt make sense haha

hmm.

you have an 88 thats auto and turbo but want to put it into an 86.5 non turbo manual shell. you are woundering how your auto turbo harness can wire up to the manual one.

theres a guy over at supra mania.. dr. shit if forget his name. that will wire in the plugs..

or just buy a manual turbo ecu!

oh and maybe on the non turbo harness too but...same deal. (not really sure. not an N/a guy) just buy a manual turbo ecu. check the scrap yards and for sell section for part outs.. you can find it cheap.

and the reason you go through 300 pages of crap is because people don't use descriptive thread titles.. sorta like this one.

oh ok. i thought there might be more electrical work then just switching ECUs ya i found and ordered an ECU. but if i want the factory boost guage in the 88 would i have to swap the guage cluster AND dash harness? or just trace the wiring and remove what i need from the harness? i'm also think bout putting the skid control in. i have the control unit but is that for the suspention or the abs? cuz it has the adjustable suspention. is it even worth it.
