^^ typo, ready for a mk2 v6, my keyboard sometimes doesnt work
hey ppl! ive been lurking around this board for about a year, making random posts, but now, that ive brought home a 3VZ-FE and im gearing up for the conversion into my MR2, i thought i should properly introduce myself in the proper place.
i live in sydney, australia, near blacktown (home to many wrecking yards, rather fortuitously) and i have a mk2 rev1 NA, aussie spec, with a 3SGE.
ive been researching this swap for about two years, and i FINALLY managed to snag a 139,000 klm 3VZ for a decent price (or what passes for decent down here, $800). but i still need a few things, as all i have atm is the complete motor, minus PS and AC pumps, with a chopped loom >:[, auto flywheel with important spacer plates, and no exhaust below the manifolds.
also need the AFM, ECU, dizzy cap, coil and igniter, vac tank, COR (is this bypassable?), a belt, probly lots of coolant piping, i need an engine mount from fourveesix (i contacted him re this earlier in the year), and i need some bits of the wiring loom like the ECU plug ends.
on the plus side, ive ordered a full gasket kit from ebay, and it has had the timing belt changed, injectors, plugs, and water pump all done recently, so that will save me a bit of cost.
i know there are a few other aussies about, planning this, but to my knowledge no one has pulled it off yet? so the race is on!
thanks for having me aboard guys!
