IVe got a full 7MGTE wiring loom and ecu my question is ive got the opportunity to purchase a 1jzge will the loom and ecu run the 1J ok??? My guess would be I would need a 7MGTE throttle body, sensors any idea?? cheers.

not the answer im looking for!!it will get turboed eventually...its just to cheap to pass up lol so once again can a 7MGTE wiring loom and ecu run a 1JZGE?? i know you can with a 2jge but not to sure. and i own a 2L twinturbo 1Ggte and i know what pulling into traffic feels like lol

You can infact run any engine off a different ECU as long as the sensors the ECU are expecting are of the same value AND the ECU is for the same cylinder engine (ie 6 cylinder Ford running semi-batch fire) can run a 1jz, 7m engine in the same configuration as long as you use the ford sensors.

Now the issue is that the 7mgte TCCS is expecting the turbo there. Meaning that we can not verify whether it will work ok or not. IT technically should work but remember that you have to use ALL the 7m-GTE sensors for it to work unless the 1jz sensors are SPOT on to the 7m sensors.

Remember, the engine is just an air pump. The ECU is there to meter the air for said air pump and inject the correct amount of fuel.

why would you pull a perfectly good turbo motor for an NA 1JZ? and i highly highly doubt it would work. the engine management between an NA and turbo motors are just a touch different.

damn you fig! but my point still stands where the TPS sensor would be at greater than the percentage is where the 02 goes between open and closed loop. while in theory i agree with you that an engine is just an air pump i dont think the values would be close enough to make it run correctly for day to day driving or the longevity of the motor.
