4AGZE DLI into AW11
Hi guys.
Just a little info about me before I get to the swap details.
So I've had MR2's for years in the uk but when I moved to Aus I started travelling and owning one and even finding one I could afford was not happening.
In the UK I built a V6 with a 3vzfe motor in it, weirdly the engine failed 2 days before I flew out of the country, I think it was protesting.
Anyway I now have an 87, which I've owned for a few years and about a year ago it spun the bottom end bearings. I managed to find an AE92 with a DLI 4AGZE motor in it and started the swap. Got the motor in and then life took a diffeerent turn and its only now I'm getting back to it.
So far I have all the plumbing pretty much worked out apart from the vacuum piping, thats the next step, once my modified fuel lines return. but the biggest issue I am going to have is the wiring. I hate wiring. The ECU I have is a 24 pin not a 22 pin and so I'm currently looking for as much info as I can to get the thing wired up and mated to the body loom.
Has anyone completed the same swap and happen to have documented thier wiring, or know where the best place to find the info would be. I've lost count of the hours I've spend trying to piece together info from all over the place.
Anyway any help would be appreciated. but for now heres some pictures of where I'm up to.
Heres the car looking a little sorry for itself

As I said I'm almost done with the plumbing. The only thing I really had to do was souce pipes that would fit, which I managed to do using a mix from the AE92 and the mr2 with a bit of cutting. Also as the engine is no longer in the front some of the pipes run the wrong way, one of these just needed a slight moving of the existing pipes on the car to free up a little more from the heater feed and the other just required unbolting of the pipe from the thermostat housing and turning 180 degrees, after that the pipes lined up. Only other change was for the filler side of the car. I again used existing piping that I had and with a slight relocation of the filler (still need to make a new bracket) it fits ok.
The smaller metal pipe on this housing is the one I turned around to get it to fit.
The fuel lines are pretty easy to sort, the return just needs a longer pipe and the other is having the ends off the AE92 that fit the engine side attached onto a replacement pipethe same length as the original AW pipe.
I'll need to blank off the lines that used to go to the AE's powersteering but that should be as simple as linking the 2 together if its anything like my v6 swap was.
I've got to work out what I want to do with the fuel pump and ABV VSV as they don't quite reach anywhere at the moment to mount up, but I have read somewhere they can be deleted with no issues. Again something I need to research a bit into, however it would be nice if they can go if only for cleaning up the bay a little bit.
I also need to extend the brake assist hose as the one with the engine is too shotr and I'm not sure where the aw one has gone or even if it would work. I guess I'll just run a new pipe.
And someone in the past added someting in line with the vac hoses so for now I'm going to take it out, no need for extra clutter just yet.
So once I get these few things sorted out and just the 3rd ECU plug out of the AE 92 it will be wiring time, I'm not looking forwardds to dealing with all this and working out what is and isn't needed.....
At the moment I feel like I'm starting a wrecking yard lol
Anyway, if anyone is interested as I do bits to the car I'll update the post. as well as browse the forum :)
