well some guys are running bigger radiators, since the engine requires higher pressure radiator cap. I had a stock radiator, and traded for this aluminum, in the future i may need it if i decide to supercharge.. however, i already have a solution planned....

ps lines nightmare, A/c nightmare. I have to reroute these lines, as the mount is in the way.. and the a/c lines are to close to engine..

Can you do stainless flex hoses? I don't know, I'm just asking! I replaced the clutch hose in my Z with a stainless flexible deal. Well... I ADDED the clutch line since it didn't actually have one to begin with!

i tought about it, even found several sites, and swaps for it. cost is about the same, but i have the pump, the belt, the pulleys, and notched the frame.
so the easiest way is to route the lines different ways, easy peasy. Working this week, so no updates for now.
just more work but i got it sorted out...

i have done several things but this takes the cake...
today i learned the wrong way, that i got a harness from the lexus es350. turns out the engine harness is not same as the engine room harness.
Purchased the harness in june, and I TOUGHT IT HAS both ecu clips to use for the rav 4, however, silly me, no engine harness.
turns out they are 2 different things. somehow the engine harness connects at the fuse box. lol.....
at a great cost.... 170 $$$ YIKES
when i saw headlights attached and yellow split looming with sensors, i said oh, oh...
well this harness has the small ecu plug 90980-12461 with wires, and a pedal connector 90980-12303 attached to it.
guess they are separated harness... I need both housings...
well i found today in a japanese site 90980-12396 is the number for the big housing.... Im eeying plugs on ebay, and made offer, if all else fails..
This really sets me back a whole deal... i was ready to start wiring....
And funny thing, this harness has like 3 more plugs that can be used for the pedals.
Probably sell them with pigtails and recoup money that way...
it has the fuse box, and smog sensor and airbag sensor :mad2:mad2
none of which i need.

ok so to give an update. and for the records.
im going to have to make a hybrid harness from the original highlander, which has 5 plug ecu, with the harness of the 2 plug ecu. I have the smaller plug, and may have to order the bigger plug..

Fill the tubing with sand then cap the ends and then bend, or you can freeze water inside and then bend it before it melts.

nice tips, but i already bent it, wish i knew. the leaks are because it has been welded too.

braze over the welds to fix the leaks, it's like solder for steel.

regular braze? silver solder for copper? i dont have oxy, i have a mapp, and dont know if i can braze metals...

Mapp can get hot enough to braze, especially if it's light metal and you have one of those whistling turbo torches. Those things get HOT.

hopefully its as easy as de-pin the one harness and just pin the new connectors.

no, unfortunately, not... you see, the highlander being a 5 plug, has some signals going to juction boxes, and going to a specific signal in the ecu. In the rav 4 each individual signal goes to a specific point in the ECU. Maybe like 2 or 3 systems are like this. If i recall the heated 02 sensors, and the ignition coils, lol..... So i really have to open up all the harness.....

and yes those boxes are a blast from the past.

peak preview of my wiring diagram, need to fix it, couple of connections and explanations. It prints in a 4x3 sheets of paper . (total of 12 now)

I can't say I envy you. Mr220v's prices seem more than fair to me since I don't even wanna look at the diagrams.

And yes, however this is not a simple thing. Because, at best the engine needs at least 2 extra relays, that i need to find a place for them. And i need to understand the way the wiring would be, in case I need to troubleshoot. Hence my wiring diagram Plus and I tried to contact mr220v, never got a response, dont blame him, hes very busy. So i figured i wanted to learn.
Im still making changes to the diagram....

There's some awesome weather proof relays on eBay with weather tight pigtail connectors that you can put literally anywhere without a special box.
Just search water proof relay on ebay or amazon and you'll find plenty.

good job!
Worst part about wiring a car, is that you need to get the harnes for the ecu your going to use, lol changing from highlander to rav is not fun.....

tought about it, it was 6000 on copart.com. I dont have a dealer license, and its a waste of money. i spent 2600 on a complete engine plus accessories plus 500 in incidentals. 3100 vs 6000 a lot of difference. plus i dont have time to part out a camry, and a yard will not pay 2900 for it, without the engine. Its a tough decision....

ok so i have mapped every wire in the harness, it really has been pain in the rear really.... as its been 2 full days. comparing the highlander and rav4 diagrams

and the engine is like all gutted, lol....

ok, im ready to start the real wiring process..
If you know how to read a map, you know how to read wiring diagram.
Its easy, the books are self explanatory. I was afraid all the time, because i never tought I could. Sure you can pay 500 to have someone do it.
The 3sgte harness is a cookie compared to this monster there are 126+ wires going to the ECU. LOL But then when it comes troubleshooting time, if you dont know how it was made, then you are screwed.
There is no halfassing it, i know where every solder goes, Im planning on adding a new fuse box, to accomodate new relays.
Minor changes to the body wiring of the celica, but i would not be able to accomodate for all that if i have someone else do it... Plus i have trust issues....
