Beams ECU questions

CameronTucker · 07-03-2009, 11:20 PM

I recently bought a Beams red top out of an MR2 for my '91, but it didn't come with the ECU or wiring harness. I found the ECU from a black top Beams for sale and was curious if that would work or if I could just use the original ECU.

Also, if anyone knows where I can find the ECU and wire harness please let me know.

Thanks,
Cameron

That's my baby.

it would be better to run the right ecu for it ,so you need the red top and loom from either sw20 mr2 or last st202 celica with red top in it

CameronTucker · 07-05-2009, 02:40 AM

i understand it would work BETTER. but im having a hell of a time finding the ecu so would it work until i did? anyway. if i got the ecu out of the celica would it work in my mr2? sorry im new to this whole motor swap thing but i blew a rod threw my block and had to replace the motor...so i did research and found out about the whole beams thing

Yes it would(celica beams ecu) the person to talk to about that would be mr220v on here as he makes conversion harnesses for our swap and as far as finding an ecu it is rather hard but not impossible!

Altezza ECU isnt going to work, but just about anything else will.

Celica, caldina, MR2, should all have a loom/ecu that will work properly with it.

altezza motor has a few more 'features' like computer controlled throttle body and exhaust side VVTI which mean it will most likely go WTF WTF when plugged on to a single VVTI engine.

so i found the entire engine w the ecu and harness for like 2500...would i be better off buying that and selling one of the engines than trying to find the harness and ecu?

ps thanks for bein so helpful to a newbie ha

No need for stereo crap when you have a BEAMS, makes such nice music!
BlackTop ECU won't work for sh*t on your RedTop, besides the BlackTop is that CAN-Bus stuff too.
If you find a BEAMS cut with a complete wiring-harness and ECU, it's teh win. Now see if you can get the matching gauges too for even moar win. Plus you will get ALL the girls now!
All hail MR220V!!

ha ik ik my car made wonderful music as it was...but its still a pain to have that **** stolen ha.

My BEAMS Red Top Manual ECU is for sale if you need one so just let me know.

I have a MOTEC now so might as well on sell my ECU to someone that needs it!

CameronTucker · 07-09-2009, 12:45 PM

I'm asking $350AUD + shipping

Bottom left hand a corner & I should be able to throw in the plugs if you need them too for your wiring loom:

CameronTucker · 07-10-2009, 01:34 AM

Using XE - The World's Favorite Currency and Foreign Exchange Site it works out to be 272.96USD so lets say even 300USD for shipping too and any extra costs Ill cover for ya. I can take Paypal if thats makes it easier too.

CameronTucker · 07-10-2009, 12:27 PM

Paypal would probably be easiest. Give me a day or so. How long do you suppose it'll take to ship it?
