A stand alone means replacing the factory entire computer with a specialized one used for tuning. They are (more often than not) expensive, require wiring everything yourself, difficult to tune, and so on.

Who came up with this 500px wide BS?
JEEVES, MY PLANS IS TO SWAP A 2JZ IN A COROLLA BUT BUDDIES TELL ME CANT BE DONE BECAUSE OF WIRING ISSUES, BUT SOMEBODY SAID ABOUT THE( STANDALONE) ?WHAT YOU THINK go FOR IT ?IS IT POSSIBLE? THANKS MAN
Its possible but you have to be competent at wiring and you have to know how to properly tune the unit. There's alot of bad things you can run into when doing that kind of project. I recommend it only for those who know exactly what they're doing and how to do it.
If you have enough money to throw at any problem, you can put any engine and any tranny into any car.
However, with that said. You don't know anything about Stand Alone ECU's, their programming, or how to go about that. That can either be an expensive fix, or things can get damaged. In my experience, if you don't have the know how to box in that arena, you should stay out of it. Just a basic setup used to run near $2,000 for a good stand alone. Prices (I think) have come down, but as I don't do any stand alone stuff, I've never had to deal with the horrid setup costs.
As I said, it's possible to do anything. all depends on the money, and what you're throwing at it.

Can't you just get a 2JZ with a complete engine harness and use a 2JZ ecu? I think you would have more problems fitting the transmission and rear diff from a RWD car into a FWD car.
no, the wiring still has to be dealt with. You can use te facotry ECU, but you still need to power it. You may also need to extend or reduce some harnesses and custom fit sensors. That's the "custom" part of the job. If you're not comfy with wiring diagrams and wiring, you may want to consider something different, or know and be prepared to pay someone to handle that part of the job for you.
You might need to make a custom driveshaft, and you would probably want to use a 2JZ rear differential too since I don't think the one in the Corolla can handle the power. Then you'll need to make custom mounts for the engine, transmission, differential. Then find axles that fit. It's a lot of fabricating.
