I'm using a 94 ES300 ecu. The lexus never came in a manual transmission, so mr220v put some resistors in to trick the ecu into thinking that the auto is there. Otherwise it would give a CEL. On newer camrys where a manual transmission was an option you just need to ground the specific pin on the ecu.

Ohh ok. Do you think he would be able to wire the 96 harness so that it works with the newer camry ecu or would there be problems because of the obdi and obdii?

No updates yet. I developed a cold on Friday, and coupled with the frigid weather here I called off the install for this weekend. I'll try for next weekend.

I didn't make it. It was made by a guy in the UK that goes by the name 4v6.
No, that mount probably will not work for the Celica. You could try to get in touch with 4v6 and see if he can make you one... -------------------- 1991 MR2 - T-tops - Crimson Red - Gen3 3SGTE - Lots of money

While sitting here at work recovering from a cold that swept the office last week I purchased a set of DGR coilovers. $1299 MSRP, but I got in on an initial review/release price. $899 + set of forged lug nuts + pillowtop mounts.
  These will be installed when the motor is going in - as one of my wheels needs to come off and be sent to a wheel shop to be resealed.... multi-piece wheels are a b*tch.

note on the lug nuts, if after a while of on and off, the threads will wear a little and they'll fit kind of lose until you torque them down, I never had one fail on me, but the play on the thread made me nervous and I stopped using them. so make sure to use your norma lug nuts until you work all hte little things out of your new engine, once things are set in stone, install hte fancy lug nuts, that's what I should have done, to avoid the on and off and wearing the threads as much as I did.

Culp - I've heard of problems with this type of lugnut, and yes, I am going to hold off on installing them until everything is just right with the motor.

They have to be installed by hand and removed by hand and torqued to spec carefully. Just use steel lug nuts, trust me.

Sorry for lack up updates.
The motor is going to start going in tonight. Hope to have the 5S out tonight and get the 1MZ installed tomorrow morning. Granted, it isn't going to be complete - my coilovers aren't here yet, I have to have one rim resealed, my new Chico Race Works shift bushings aren't here, I need a new driver side axle and wheel bearing, etc. My hope is to have the motor in the bay this weekend, completely finished by next weekend. We'll see how that goes. I just started a new job a few weeks ago, and my Manager just got fired today.... so I have been made the interim IT Manager, which means I get all of his work load. Bleh. -------------------- 1991 MR2 - T-tops - Crimson Red - Gen3 3SGTE - Lots of money

Probably not. We'll find out. It was an overwhelming day at the office, that's for sure.
Crossmember is out. Dropping the motor in the morning. Pics will follow. -------------------- 1991 MR2 - T-tops - Crimson Red - Gen3 3SGTE - Lots of money

Had to run to town to ship my poly inserts out, but the motor is out and we're working on mating the s54 now. Pictures this evening.
Took out the front motor mount and the innards just fell clean out... Is that bad? Because I'm putting kirkosaurus inserts in with it...

Had to call it for the day, pending information from mr2oc.
I uninstalled the flexplate from the 1MZ and found that it has a spacer in front and behind the plate... and I don't know if I need them for the new flywheel. I don't think I do, and I have it mounted like that right now, but I don't want to get the motor installed only to find that I was supposed to use one or both of the spacers. Like I mentioned before, I took the front motor mount out, and the inside of the mount just fell out.. I imagine that is a bad thing... So now I need to start looking for a new motor mount as well. -------------------- 1991 MR2 - T-tops - Crimson Red - Gen3 3SGTE - Lots of money

Contact http://www.deyemeracing.com/ and see if they can make that a solid poly mount for you.
