I have recently acquired a 1mzfe from a 99 ES300 and successfully bolted it to a 5-speed 6 gen Celica transmission. With this swap I retained the original axles hubs and 3 of the four engine mounts which coincidentally we're on the transmission already. the only Mount left to fabricate is on the right strut Tower. I'm not sure what wiring issues I will have to figure out but the engine is in the car and drive axles connected. Can anyone recommend how I should go about wiring this thing in there? I blew my 5s engine so im looking at doing the 1mz option. Finding more recent info has been a bit tough. I was hoping to do this over a weekend but it seems that may not be a possibility lol. Short of the wiring is everything pretty straight forward? |

After 7 years as a 3S-GTE swap, the FWD transmission on my GT crapped out about a year ago. Having started the project late in college, and now being a more seasoned MechE the AWD conversion seemed a little less daunting that it was many years ago. Probably 2 months from being road worthy, but only a little bit of fabrication remains for sway bar brackets and an exhaust. Saving the more interesting chassis photos for when the work is complete, but here are some scoping shots. The goal is to have a nearly stock looking car with a few subtle perks, including - TRD full adjustable suspension - C-One strut tower and anti-roll bars (front and rear) - Hybrid (ball bearing) CT20B turbo by Fensport, uprated to 1.2 bar (~320 bhp) - Hand painted brake calipers - So many new screws, nuts, and hoses that I've completely lost count. Specialized fasteners were replaced with Toyota OEM, while generic fasteners were replaced with class 10.9 steel (McMaster) ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Any update on this? the images are broken unfortunately. |
