Punctuation. Use it!

Now that I've got being an ass checked of my "to do" list for the day. Read on.

You stated that you have an '88 Turbo Supra. Use the engine computer and wiring harness from that chassis on the new motor. It'll all plug right in. You will have to swap a couple sensors where the plugs changed in '89, but it's all bolt-on/plug and play.

The wiring harnesses are different, and are NOT interchangeable. Don't try to use the '89+ gray plug setup on your car, because it just won't work.

The guy that swapped in the 1990 7mgte motor into my 1986.5 7mge chassis used the 1986.5 wiring harness. He just said that its ghetto rigged. Which harness would fit right without me having to chop it all up and ghetto rigging it?

Use an '87-'88 Turbo (yellow plug) harness and ECU. It should be nearly plug and play.
