Any updates on this Jeff?

[Smaay]

nothing new except car drives awesome and hauls ass. havent looked into the AC issues yet.

Read the whole thread and it's so yummy! Already starting to save up so hopefully in a couple years I'll have time and money to do this build.

Could sell all of your cosmetic stuff to pay for it.

[ILoveMySilly97]

Lol. Never!

this car sounds great!! got to hear it when picking up a part. made me lean further to the v6 side of swaps.

[Smaay]

too bad i couldnt give you a ride. maybe some other time

[ILoveMySilly97]

Bump. Smaay did you ever get this bard?

[Smaay]

not yet, its going to be a pain in the ass with my car being a 97, I have to install the newer style charcoal cannister with all the switching valves on it. However, if i go backwards and install a 97 Camry ECU, ill be golden.

On the flip side, Amy's car is a 99 and it has the newer style EVAP crap on it so the 2000 ECU will work. SOOOOOOO, after i get all the parts, and she has enough fun with the turbo engine, we will swap in a V6 and ill use this stuff on her car.

[ILoveMySilly97]

Has anyone bard the 1mzfe yet? That you know of?

[Smaay]

not in a 6th gen, i know a few MR2 guys have

[ILoveMySilly97]

Since you used an engine that came out of an AT car was there any AT to MT troubles? I found a solar up north for 1g. 65000 miles on it only. Front end was hit and so was the rear. Seems like there's no MT solaras. Just a few which is rare.

I found a thread about a 1mzfe bard in a mr2. Seemed like he had some trouble with the fuel areas. like the tank and lines. Did you have problems with that too or was it mostly PNP but just a custom passenger mount and exhaust y pipe? And another question. Which would be easier to swap into our celica? a pre 2000 or 2000+ 1mzfe?

havent you read anything i been posting? I said i was using a MT 2000 Camry ECU. so no AT codes.

i dont have the EVAP system that the 2000 Camry has and havent installed the charcoal cannister, thats why im going to use the 97 Camry ECU. the 99 celica does have the newer style EVAP system so its easier to use the 2000 ECU.


The engine has absolutely nothing to do whether it came from a MT or AT. that is all ECU based. Also, if you have been doing your research and I know i have said this several times. a 1999-2002 Solara and Camry ECU is capable of being both AT and MT, all you have to do is ground 1 pin and it disables all the AT codes. But those ECUs WILL need AFR sensors. If you find an actual MT ECU then you use O2 sensors

[ILoveMySilly97]

Since you know we are both from Cali. If I was to get that at ecu and ground the pin. Would it fail the smog? I doubt it would since it won't be emitting them at codes anymore right?

Afr a s o2? I always thought every car had o2 sensors? What's the difference with these two? Are both still located in the exhaust?

Awesome project! Well done Jeff!

Ive been swayed to the v6 swap after a ride in kurt's this fall. Ive located a '00 solara 1mzfe m/t car I'm hoping to get both the engine/wiring/ecu and trans(e153). My question is how do I know if its an immobilzer ecu or not? I have not gotten part numbers from the yard yet.

[Smaay]

i think i posted a list of ECUs that are immobilized

[Droptop93]

I'll keep looking on the site. I saw nothing in your project. Over all how does the car feel compared to a 3s car? Or do you only have the Alltrac with the 3s? Which is kind of an unfair comparison.

The 3s deff has more power in the fwd setup than the 1mz.
I rode in pressure2's swap an it feels faster than the 1mz by far.
But his probably isn't the best one to compare to

[Droptop93]

I dont believe pressure's 3s is a stock swap....of course its faster it has the ability to make more power with the turn of the knob(boost controller)

;-)

[Smaay]

i drove Eryns car with a 3S-GTE swap at about 18 psi. It hauls ass!!!! i have no doubt it was making close to 350. the lag was minimal but it felt it. the difference between mine and hers is my power is instantly there. I would probably pull on her at highway speeds unless she downshifts.

the big difference, my parts are cheaper and easier to get. and my swap probably cost over half as much as hers.
