I though you can use the MR2 wiring, it just has to be extended? Also, I'm sure that the wiring is possible, just difficult. With the right diagrams, it can be done.
all the the 3sgte harnesses need to be rewired ..its not just extending. you need to rewire the main engine fuse box and the interrior plugs, then extend the harness or cut a new hole in the firewall.

no not at all.... those types of engine deals are only good if your original engine was a 3sgte, died, and just just want to put the same thing back in.

in the auction, they say youll get engine, tranny, and harness....but you dont get the AFM, ignitor, coil, resisotor packs,misc hoses, etc... you need all those things for your car to run.

always buy a clip for your 1st swap.

Air Flow Meter - measures how much air is entering the engine, located right after the intake filter & before the compressor.

The 3rd Gen 3s Ecu's dont utilize this.

Plus you need to realize that when they say uncut wiring harness, chances are that it's cut up.
