95 auto 1mz project, started a list Options

[sidesh0]

hay guys, just bought my first 6gen bout a week ago, after my 87 gt-s was stolen about 6 months ago.

so now i have a 95 gt auto. decided i want to swap for the 1mz. done a lot of research and put together a list, but im still not clear on a couple things. hoping some of the badasses on 6gc can help me out.

so to start

1mzfe engine
hopefully one from a 03+ solara or sienna
with the wiring harness, ecu, intake,
solara ps pump, stock auto exhaust headers.

i know i gotta get my harness wired up, custom passenger mount and y pipe
(smaays looks beautiful by the way. definitely going to hit you up soon, if your still doing that)

but i still have a couple ?? marks over my head. and that is

will there be any problems with my stock auto trans. haha auto trans. say what you want.
but im going lsd and upgrading to handle the power. main question is, will it shift fine?? wire up just fine?

the only other questions are about obdII, and the fpr hookup,
specifically what is needed to make my 95 celica obdII. the evap system and such.
i live in cali. so smog is a must. ive heard its harder than the pre 97s,
but im curious what it really takes. cuz i really want to stay away from the sluge doomed years.

hope this interested anybody, lookin to get some help from the gurus here at 6gc.com, thanks guys.

i dont buy into the sludge issues. i will blame that all on poor maintenance.

i suggest using the auto from the camry or solara. you will need all mounts fabricated. i dont think the ECU will like your stock celica trans.

no as for ODBII, since you have a 95, i would stay with the earlier 1MZs that have return style fuel systems. that way you can use the regulator on the 1MZ rails.

what i did is convert my rails to a return style and use an adjustable FPR in static mode. i didnt hook up the vacuum reference. technically i will not pass the BAR that way. im hoping i can explain it.
