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.

Mr220v was more than happy to awnser any question I had about the swap. There is 2 problems
Problem #1 is its hard to keep all the codes cleared. But those are mainly the trans codes so you might not have that problem.
#2 94 an 95 had 6 coil packs where as 96+ is wasted spark with only 3 coils.
Then a 96 only ecu problem- you can't read codes as eather Obd1 or Obd2!
Found that out the hard way. You best bet is a 97+ engine with a 94-96 lower intake with the aftermarket fpr an no matter what year esc you go with you'll have to hook up the evap.depending on the year there's 2-3 sensors in the evap system alone.
You'll gain the HP from the computer since I beleave a lot if it over the years was tuning un the ecu/the add on of vvti in the later model of the 1mz. But the easiest HP gains from the start is exhaust an intake. From what I've read it'll basically bump your wheel HP to what your stock crank HP.
Plus these motors sound amazing around 6500 with a nice open 2.5 inch exhaust. An the intake is simple as ordering one off eBay.
