good luck! I own an mr2 and a vienta v6, and the thought of doing this has been pretty tempting. but the cost, and having no car at all for a while, plus then not having a working vienta (no long road trips with people and luggage anymore...) have stopped me.

in-progress pics and write-ups will definitely be needed! :D

Good luck with the swap, but it looks like you've planned it out. Remember to post up some pics.

Its going into a 91 turbo. (Car needed new engine) Im hoping to get better fuel economy without losing too much power.
 
I will be taking heaps of photos just waiting on the last few parts
 
Anybody suggest a good exhaust shop in Canberra?

Hey well turns out ive made a rookie mistake.
trying to use a 2001 ecu and harness with a 95 engine (different ignition system)
 
So check list has gotten longer
Needed
1mz yr97-2002 intake manifold, sensors, coils and EGR system. quoted $200 plus PP
Still need to do the timing-belt and waterpump
Radiator hoses
Fuel lines
Still looking for an exhrst shop
Supercharger :)
 
But plus side ive got the engine and gearbox together and organised to have a new mount for the 3sgte carrier bearing made.
