Are you not able to use the hilux tranny in the manual? What about a turbo swap etc?

The Engine and Tranny ECU's are in one unit....unless you have the time and money to rewrite all the engine and tranny parameters into a custom ECU theres not much chance of just doing one without the other.
If you had a prado engine and tranny and matching ecu then go for your life. But is it worth the effort for the gain?
an extra gear and more torque.....more torque can be had from a chip. so you half way there whilst saving alot of money.
Go for it , give it a go.
