Okay, question:
The nuts for my headers are serrated on the back... Which will destroy the finish when I tighten them down. I was thinking of like a nylon washer or something to go in between, but won't that just melt?
Ferdi - MZ is the engine code. There is the 1mz, 2mz, and 3mz. being before the hyphen (1mz-fe) doesn't denote a supercharger, its after the hyphen that it means something. I mean, the 7th gen gts is a 2zz-ge, and a supercharged one would be a 2zz-gze...which by your logic of just having a z makes it s/c would mean that bad boy is rocking triple superchargers.

Yup, I wasn't thinking about where that was placed. You're right.

Use a different style of locking nut with a washer behind it, try to find "pinched" lock nuts with a plain steel washer... actually use stainless steel. If you can't find "pinched" nuts in stainless then buy regular stainless nuts and pinch them yourself in a vice or hold them with pliers and hit them with a hammer. The oval shape is self-locking and will not back off on its own.

missed the harness pic and info.
looks great, and awesome to hear he went the extra mile for you. wish i could say the same for tweak, when we sent him my cousins harness, my cousin didnt realize that the fuse box was cracked..tweak had the other to replace it there with the other harness he sent..but didnt switch them out.
not even a call to ask about it.
looks like we've found our new wiring guy when it comes to that stuff!

Yeah he did an incredible job. Everything reaches, everything runs like OEM, except the fact that the V6 harness will come through the passenger side of the trunk, which requires cutting a hole in the trunk and running it through. Doug extended the harness to follow the stock MR2 path. He really went the extra mile, and I couldn't be happier.
One O2 sensor connector was broken when I got it back, but I honestly don't know if I sent it out like that or not. I am just going to de-pin that connector and replace it with one from my current MR2 harness. No big deal.

I'm not sure if I skipped over it, but what ECU are you using?
My friend has a V6 camry and wants to do a manual swap on it and there's not that many manual V6 camry's so it's going to be a little difficult.

IIRC you ground an input to the ECM and it turns it into a manual.

I'm using a 94 ES300 ecu. The lexus never came in a manual transmission, so mr220v put some resistors in to trick the ecu into thinking that the auto is there. Otherwise it would give a CEL. On newer camrys where a manual transmission was an option you just need to ground the specific pin on the ecu.

Ohh ok. Do you think he would be able to wire the 96 harness so that it works with the newer camry ecu or would there be problems because of the obdi and obdii?
No updates yet. I developed a cold on Friday, and coupled with the frigid weather here I called off the install for this weekend. I'll try for next weekend.

the engine mount that you made for it, would that work for a celica as well?
and i cannot wait to see this thing finished!
I didn't make it. It was made by a guy in the UK that goes by the name 4v6.
No, that mount probably will not work for the Celica. You could try to get in touch with 4v6 and see if he can make you one...

While sitting here at work recovering from a cold that swept the office last week I purchased a set of DGR coilovers. $1299 MSRP, but I got in on an initial review/release price. $899 + set of forged lug nuts + pillowtop mounts.
These will be installed when the motor is going in - as one of my wheels needs to come off and be sent to a wheel shop to be resealed.... multi-piece wheels are a b*tch.

note on the lug nuts, if after a while of on and off, the threads will wear a little and they'll fit kind of lose until you torque them down, I never had one fail on me, but the play on the thread made me nervous and I stopped using them. so make sure to use your norma lug nuts until you work all hte little things out of your new engine, once things are set in stone, install hte fancy lug nuts, that's what I should have done, to avoid the on and off and wearing the threads as much as I did.
Those coils look meeeaaannnnn, man. I can't wait to see your MR2 all buttoned up.

Culp - I've heard of problems with this type of lugnut, and yes, I am going to hold off on installing them until everything is just right with the motor.

They have to be installed by hand and removed by hand and torqued to spec carefully. Just use steel lug nuts, trust me.

Sorry for lack up updates.
The motor is going to start going in tonight. Hope to have the 5S out tonight and get the 1MZ installed tomorrow morning.
Granted, it isn't going to be complete - my coilovers aren't here yet, I have to have one rim resealed, my new Chico Race Works shift bushings aren't here, I need a new driver side axle and wheel bearing, etc.
My hope is to have the motor in the bay this weekend, completely finished by next weekend. We'll see how that goes. I just started a new job a few weeks ago, and my Manager just got fired today.... so I have been made the interim IT Manager, which means I get all of his work load. Bleh.

Had to run to town to ship my poly inserts out, but the motor is out and we're working on mating the s54 now. Pictures this evening.
Took out the front motor mount and the innards just fell clean out... Is that bad? Because I'm putting kirkosaurus inserts in with it...

Had to call it for the day, pending information from mr2oc.
I uninstalled the flexplate from the 1MZ and found that it has a spacer in front and behind the plate... and I don't know if I need them for the new flywheel. I don't think I do, and I have it mounted like that right now, but I don't want to get the motor installed only to find that I was supposed to use one or both of the spacers.
Like I mentioned before, I took the front motor mount out, and the inside of the mount just fell out.. I imagine that is a bad thing... So now I need to start looking for a new motor mount as well.
