Ok, after some searching it doesn't seem like to many people have done this swap. Assuming that I had a complete donor car for the v6, how hard would it be. I assume that I can just take out the 5sfe and it's wiring harness, and put in the 1mz-fe using it's stock mounts, engine harness, and dash harness/ecu. Is there anything that's really tricky about this what I'm forgetting?
The only part I am concerned about is the tranny. My car is a 5spd, and the donor would be an auto. So it'd basically be doing a motor swap and a 5spd swap onto the v6. What tranny would I want? I thought that the e153 was preferred, but I've also read that the ratios are too short or some such thing. So what tranny would be best? (keeping in mind that after the swap, this motor would probably be seeing boost with in a few months.
Which leads me to my final question (as of now). Will the SMT piggy back be able to override the OBDII and not just keep moving the ecu back to stock after it's boosted? Basically I want to do the swap and then put a reliable, not insane turbo setup on it. 250-300hp, basically what this thread is talking about: http://toyotanation.com/forum/t174209.html
So, am I insane or what?
