you dont need to buy an ECU at all. what yea is your car from the looks of the engine its an 88 because in the discription it doesnt say what year does it?

the engines and the ecu's are the same between here and japan. the harness is not. you need a USA turbo harness. and I would get an USA turbo ecu as well to make sure it'll work.

both must be from the same years as yours

that is asuming you don't already have a turbo ecu and harness. is the car it's for an turbo or not?

i dont think this has any Bering but I bought the car with no engine and it used to have a non turbo engine but now I just got a t2 engine. will everything still hook up the same(the wires i mean) I hope that answers your question. Yes its for a turbo motor.

To some extent. You'll need a TII rear-end, tII halfshafts, tII driveshaft, tII throttle cable, tII ECU/afm/harness/fuel pump, and a few other tiny things here and there

As far as re programming the ecu goes,

I think you can't just reprogram it, but you can
get a chip that will alter its stock programming

you need to make sure what injectors you have the (low)impedance or the (high) impedance injectors b4 you go buy a USA t2 harness and ECU. If the Japan use the same colr code on the injectors which I 'm pretty sure they do, the red top injectors are (high) the brown/tan top injectors are (low). don't always take their word for what year they said the motor came out of. make sure 100%. and DO a search to make sure you are doing everything right.
