96 7afe (M) into a 95 7afe(A) celica., question reguards to swapping it over. Options

[mandrek]

hey all i have a few questions that a few hours of idle searches and reading have not been able to help me find the info that i need..

i have a 95 ST auto that had the motor go out on, and i just picked up a 96 manual st as a parts car. right now ALL that i want to do is swap the motor over. JUST the motor, ill may do an auto to manual swap later, but not what im concerned about ATM. now i know that there is a difrence between the two 7Afe's (95-to-96) in reguards to power output from the factory. but what it was understanding was that it was just a tune from the factory, and the addition of some emissions stuff.

what i would like to do right now at this point is get my car back on the road. so i was wondering if there are any difrences in reguards to the motor that will give me problems when switching it over, plugs, sensors, ecu-harness, etc..

or will i be able to just pull the motor from the 96, slap it on the auto, drop it in the 95, and plug everything up. and get on my way?

i could write more and make this alot more winded than it is, but i want to keep it simple.

thank you in advance for any relative info.

mandrek.

problem with a piggy back for boost is that you'll be seeing boost at part throttle when ecm is trying to keep a stoich ratio and you'll want something a little richer. Open loop is only around 80% throttle or higher I think, not sure specifically. the ecm is going to use fuel trims to compensate and lean it out, 'fighting' your tune with a piggy back. If you want a turbo that runs like it came from the factory, sorry but stand alone is the way to go. I know it costs more but it'll be worth it. Can you run a piggy back with success, of course! Will you out grow it sooner than later if you want to grow some? Oh yea.
