The car is getting close - the ECU was just sent off to get the immobilizer programmed out. By the time it gets back late this coming week, i think we should be ready for start up. Don't quote me on that, but Carl is pushing to finish her up.

Update:

Well, just thought i'd let you guys know that Carl just got the ECU today... Oh, and btw he plugged it in and started her up first try. I got to hear her running on the phone. I'm so pumped.

Yes, it is GREAT news. The check engine light did not even come on! Carl says it sounds like we have an exhaust leak coming from a bad rear gasket (not something he has touched yet) ...so after he takes care of that and some other misc. things, she's going for a spin.

so the v6 came out of a solara, now solaras have a digital mile counter and we dont have digital, was that a problem. where is mileage stored, in the digital display memory or the ecu...

It always puzzled my mind...

If all goes well, i'll probably go pick it up in 2-3 weeks. Two reasons. I want to make sure he has enough behind the wheel time to know everything is working in mint condition and it will make the 1,000 drive with zero issues. Also, i have to watch the price on plane tickets. If i were to go any sooner, i'd be paying a mega premium. As much as i'd love to go get it right away, i don't want to try and rush things at this point ...its come along way, why tinker with the fine balance now?

Lets just say Carl is simply a master yoda.
He'll be working out these "smaller items" now that car is running. RPMs etc...

I can answer that one.
The mileage is stored on the cluster's display memory. Speedometer and odometer are one unit. The ECU has nothing to do with the odometer afaik.

Nick, what did you do for correct RPM calibration? Have you gotten your speedo working yet? Any links to MR2 V6 swap info on RPM calibration etc would be great.

Just as a side note, the other shop messed with our current speedo (so its reading 4k RPMs at idle), but luckily - we still have the original unmolested one to work with. I believe he did more than just take off the needle ...like something with the electronics - not sure yet.

I sent mine off to "Mitch" from the mr2oc forum. He calibrated mine for a very good price. Talk to him, he's an awesome guy to deal with.

My speedo works and for some reason my sensor craps out whenever it feels like it. One day it works, the next it doesn't. Probly just a defective sensor, you shouldn't have any problems with yours if its good.

i been following this thread , and just like any V6 swap it keeps giving me hope with my car , i want to do something to it and the only Legal swap is the V6 .... its a bit more work than a 3s swap and i dont think i can do it. SO , i have to ask u how much did this project cost you ? disregard variation , just give me a rough figure of how much it cost ... and GL with the car , cant wait to see the final product !

Quick update:

The car is essentially done. It will be going in for an alignment and rotate/balance in the next couple days. Just sent in the tach and A/C stuff to Mitch for adjustment - he should have those back fairly quickly.
