Then there's the fact they took the 2JZ out of the Supra for the GT500 and replaced it with a hypo 3S-GTE, mainly because it met their power requirements but also gave the car better dynamics. The 3S-G was a fantastic engine in both NA and FI form.
My mate actually has 2 Beams 3S's in his garage, haha. His daily is a turbo'd 4A powered KE70 sedan, and together we actually make aftermarket ECUs... mainly for Toyotas but we're going to do a few more popular models soon. Hopefully the engine management for the FT86 isn't combined with other car functionality, making it very hard to design an aftermarket ECU. With the design mentality they've had for the rest of the car I don't think this will be the case, but they seem to want to chuck most of the electronics in a couple of boxes these days, but make them only work if they're only plugged into each other.
