What is the model year of your Supra? Is it a turbo?

hi Sir. I haven't got my supra yet but I told my dad to buy me one for a graduation present. What I wanted was a left hand drive, twin turbo engine.

Sir I saw your supra from the link you posted.. It's so NICE!

Thank you for your kind words!

You can't really hook a PC up to a 2jz-gte ecu...at least not without a lot of very expensive equipment ($50K+). You can put an aftermarket ecu into an Mkiv Supra, but the whole setup is also quite pricey (about $2500 for just the ecu...untuned - and you can spend literally thousands more tuning an aftermarket ecu).

Now you've got me REALLY curious. If you don't even have your Supra yet, why do you think you need to plug your "laptop to the supra" and "change to an aftermarket ecu"????
