keeping the 5 speed for my gte swap
So I want to keep my stock 5 speed when I swap in the aristo gte. I have a 99 gs300 and am wondering if I'll run into complications? I will be running the stock aristo ecu. Any help would be appriciated, thanks

Problem being the aristo ecu can't control the 5speed auto, just use the 4 speed that comes with it. There really isn't anything to gain by keeping the 5.
If your dead set on keeping it you'll need to run a standalone. You might could run the gs ecu with a piggyback if you eliminate the twin turbos and go single so that the tt vsv's aren't needed anymore.

Wow, some of you seem a lil bit bitter with your replies.
OP-Don't let them deter you. It may not be easy, and it may cause some grief, but anything is possible. I am planning on doing a 5spd manual swap with my GTE as well. Still trying to gather as much info as I can but just because it isn't the easiest way to do the swap doesn't mean it can't or shouldn't be done.
