Yeah I'd definitely be putting aside $10,000 to have a professional do it for you. Remember that since you're going to be using the Camry ecu you will also need the immobiliser to go with it and that will all have to be incorporated into you loom and ignition.


You're certain that you don't want to purchase a few tools and jump in. It could save you thousands of dollars.

10,000 saved up would definately make room for errors. sounds like its gonna be alot cheaper if i just bought one from interstate haha.
 
I appreciate the advice though my man.
 
i dont have much room at my house to do the conversion myself.
 
Cheers !!!!!!

The thing is if you buy one from interstate it'll need to be a certified conversion as the car will have to be inspected when you bring it into Victoria. Even then you can run into problems.

Ask Chris (Bobinsky on here) who has a 2GR SW20 in Victoria who did his conversion and how much it cost. Headers and engine mount kit from USA is under $2000.

Seriously man,
 
thanks for all advice guys.  you guys just keep coming haha.
 
yeah i spoke to an engineer down in hallam hes willing to approve it for 500 bucks.
 
i think the best case for me would be to look for a nice example of a v6 mr2 done already. and just purchase that ,
 
Once again
 
thanks for the wisdom gentlemen !

There is a dodgy way to get around having to fit the antenna around the ignition, also on some Toyota's the immobiliser can even be turned off, I haven't looked into if this is one of them though, that is done through the ECU so can save some wiring.
