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.
