Engine Swap?

[jeffrosie]

I'm thinking about an engine swap on my IS200.

But I'm thinking about a different route - the 1MZ-FE as found in the Camry; 3.0 V6

I know for a fact that it bolts on directly onto the Altezza gearbox.

Has this been done before and are there any wiring diagrams for this? It's the later type engine I'm interested in with the VVTi.

I know I will need the engine with complete wiring loom and ECU.

Ive not heard of it being done.

"easiest" way for the wiring is to run 2 ecu's side by side.

best way is a decent standalone

There is loads of space in the IS200 bay. And quite a few MR2's and Celica's are using the 1MZ engine. The 1MZ bolts on directly to the 3SGE/GTE transmission. and the Altezza Beams gearbox is the one to use. Obviously new engine mounts will have to be fabricated, but the hardest part will be to wire the engine into the std loom as in seperate ECU or standalone.
