Ok, after some search I need some help...

I have a doubt, about the question ECU -> KEY

I am doing an engine swap (european 2g) from a 4g63 N/A to a 4g63T....I have bought all the control wiring & engine bay harness plus the 1997 ECU.
I need to know if I have to buy also the locks and key from donor GST...(seller still has these parts).

Europeans 2g's come with an immobilizer, with a transpondered key and antenna keyhole ring...US 2g's have the same?

Sorry for the question, but I live in italy, and it is a big problem for me to find stuff and tech help...

From one Italian to another, I would buy the whole setup. It would make the install allot easer. A clean install is the best especially when you don't have to mod anything or join 2 different things together to make them work. I found that out by experience of doing a 5-speed to auto awd conversion on my 94 talon with all 5-speed harnesses and an auto engine harness. Mating them 2 harnesses for everything to be spot on with a factory auto including all the trans indicators in the cluster gauges and the dome light temp indicator. That wasn't easy.
 
Nope, there is no immobilizer and no transponder key is required for 2G's over here. These car's are real easy to hotwire! Just playing, LOL. But seriously, I know exactly what you are talking about and there are no immobilizers like you described on our cars over here. Take care
 
i just did the same swap in my euro eclipse all you need is the us ecu and wiring lume and it will work just use the old keys they work give me a email if you get stuck

Do you think that the engine don't want to start because of the immobilizer system ?
And, i have one connector that i don't know where he can be connect, I put you a photo :)
Do you know where it has to go ?

Sorry for my english :) I'm french :) Bye see u !
