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.

The stock trans will bolt up to the 1mz but finding a flex plate torque converter combo that will bolt to the 1mz an still fit the trans like it needs to.

I don't think the computer will care as much tho if the gearing is like you say.
The camry trans would be best but after pulling the motor out of a avalon I can tell you for sure the auto celica an auto camry v6 share no mounts.
You best bet will be to see if you can get the stock 5s flex plate bored out an the center holes redrilled to match the 1mz or have the 1mz flex plate redrilled to match the stock celica torque converter.

The evap system isn't as hard as it seems you'll hook the stock charcoal can from the 1mz car into the top evap line of the old celica evap system an leave the old celica check valve inplqce on the lower evap line. I'm still trying to figure out yet if I need to t that line back into the charcoal can yet. Haven't found a lot of info on it.

You can get a newer motor like you want an switch to a 94-96 lower intake like I did.
Then if you run a 97+ ecu you'll have to bypass the stock fpr an use an adjustable fpr an turn the pressure up to 52 psi witch is what the 97+ ecu's is set for. The vac line isn't hard to hook up just hook it up to the stock fpr vac line an to the nipple on the new fpr.
I've had mine both ways an it doesn't seem to affect the car eather way.
Unless there's something I'm missing that elastic knows that I don't that's how it works.

Oh an Mr220v does amazing wire harness work on these 1mz swaps
