Thanks manny, i know not many interested in this swap. But like i said to many others in here, I dont care lol... this is history.

So wiring process is complicated, will have to rewire the car, fuse box in the bay, new fuse box, and fuel resistors and what not. Trying to emulate the system in the rav 4. Thankfully the design in our cars permits it. Not like the MR2.

anyways i have not stopped, it has continued. I hate to post pictures of wiring, but just a few...

Included new wires for speed sensor and reverse light, power steering, and for the water temp sender to gauge ( 2GR does not have it, darn CANBus protocols)

DSCN1501


also will rewire the DLC1 to the original spot. To trouble shoot fuel pump and the SRS system, everything else was deleted, not needed... Needless to say, new wires were put in...

DSCN1503


all this to EA1, st relay and new fuse box..

DSCN1502


Will not be using anything of the original harness but the plastic fittings and the fuse box, and few connector casing. mostly all is the Highlander original harness.

Found some weather proof relays at they yard, toyota makes them....

Donor harness from a lexus... (175) worth...

This is what I do with the V6 harness' i build. I pretty much open the entire harness up and then run the wires that will be used. I re-pin all the junction connectors that feed the coils and injectors. Then another relay feeds all the power to the VSV and misc sensors. Some are powered from the ECU like TPS. those all share VC 5V.

also out of the EA1 plug is the 2 white alternator wires, i bought some 10 gauge wire and extend that so it can run along the back of the engine and reach the alternator.

I created an excel spreadsheet to keep track of what wire goes to what connector or splice then i check it off when its complete.

That looks extremely labor intensive, but also kinda fun. I would probably cringe when I first turned the key to start the car haha

crossing fingers and hopng its going to start first time, and hoping there will be no troubleshooting, and hoping the engine is not a dud. so much hope, lol. who knows.....

Lol I know that feeling. It's not until you get really deep into a project that it dawns on you that there are literally thousands of variables that have to go perfectly right. This made me super paranoid when I did my first engine and transmission rebuilds. I kept second guessing my work and pretty much expected some tiny undertorqued bolt to back out and destroy everything. I don't think you have anything to worry about though, you're super organized. looking forward to more updates!

Youuuuu cannnn dooooo itttttttt!

800 more in parts ordered yesterday, just a few more to go....

Just fell in love with this thread! So nice to see people doing something different with a 6gc. There used to be a lot of this going on but now not so much and thats what makes this thread AWESOME. Good work

Great read and progress! Looking forward to the end result.

I'm looking forward to the cloud of smoke and 100ft strips of rubber laid on the street.

Traction, where we're going we don't need traction.

swear to god, im tucking fired. maybe close to 100 wires soldered.... more to go...

Hey, you should get a car where you only have to hook up the starter and some ground straps.

this is what I pin in the IJ1 connector


This is the II1 connector

thanks, so i have to bridge IJ1 (17) and II1 (5)

you are some type of crazy noberto. hoping all goes well and we can hear the vroom vroom soon.

oficial wiring diagram. Not the enhanced version. lol. But the web version...

It needs more tweak. like connections, plugs, and minor details But as is, its pretty understandable...

You guys do understand for "reasons", i cannot blow up this image.

Nothing my patented CSI photo enhancer can't fix. Have I mentioned you're insane? I would go more insane trying to do the wiring for something like this.

i did capture screen shots from adobe, but you can do a lot with microsoft paint. Look, its portable, in a tablet, you can modify it, and troubleshoot. in paper, it gets lost, crumbled, and or ripped...

Plus you're doing your part to balance out every mile I drive in the Firebird.

This is getting better.

great work. I'm starting to doubt you work for a living though. I think you just build celicas all day long

nah, i wish. I am at work atm. I just stopped ps3, ps4 until i finish the harness. and thats why its taken so long. 1 hour here and there...

In all seriousness you have my utmost respect, if I didn't mess with you it'd mean I didn't like you. I really and truly hope you get this done soon and have the Celica up and running before you know it. I know how daunting projects can be at times, so just keep at it and look towards the end result. Which with your 1st gen and the extent of work you've done with it this should be nothing, well if not for the pesky wiring anyway.

Also, at this point have you thought about turning it into a show car? Wouldn't have to go crazy or anything, but being the only Celica(that we're aware of) with a 2GR should get you noticed if you wanted to be. You could probably make a side business out of it once you have all the conversion components down pat. Just things to think about anyway.

last update of the year, so sad... but i have to halt, the swap...

it had to get to this point... lol

DSCN1514


had to use a ne fuse, used the one for the ABS i beleve..

DSCN1510

so i got a new wire from underneath..

DSCN1511


to feed power to this..

DSCN1512


that will go into this..

DSCN1513


and will look like this,,

DSCN1515

So many things in such a small space! Nice work!

Might have a hard time fitting a supercharger in later on
