Celica engine swap questions

[Guest]

Ok so Im saving for a 6th gen Toyota Celica and already have a swap planned out for it. I wanna get the 3sgte engine, its a 2.0l 4cyl turbo charged engine. Depending on the generation it will be between 230hp and 255hp. <p>So this swap requires alot of rewiring and a new harness to adapt the engine to the car and all this stuff. But I read that if I get a standalone engine managment system then it will eliminate all of that and I can use my stock ecu for all other non-engine functions. <p>Does that sound right? How hard is it to set up one of these standalone systems? would it make the swap alot easier? <p>I know alot of you guys know your **** and I'm sure for the most part its all the same as what you deal with in your bpt's and what not so any help would be great! thanks alot!<p>Tim
