My 2zrfe swap

Cranky, you should try to fit the 2ZR into the MR2.
This way you get a (simmilar) 3rd gen. powertrain in a 1st gen. shell.

The Yaris is getting the 2ZR because it needs a stock OEM motor. The MR2 is getting the boosted 1NZ so that the finicky supercharger is with the playtoy/racecar. I drive about 40 miles one way to work, and have trashed 2 crank pulleys in the past 12 months.

A couple quick shots of the a/c lines.

I'm still moving along on this. Just very slowly. I only get about an hour and a half a day to work on this. I'm also painting the car as I go, so that is really slowing me down.

As a side note, I decided to use the mount that came with he dc sports xD muffler. It it is a square top and at a first I didn't think it would work, because the hole is round, but I realized that it is probably the same on the xD. It fits in very snug, and it seems like it will work. It is secure in place, and almost seals up. It looks like it has ridges that sit firmly against the bottom of the body. I will probably just squeeze some silicone into the small opening on either side and call it good.

Things that still need done:

Finish putting engine bay back together
Finish wiring and installing gauges
Connect up ground and power wires to the battery in the rear of the car - waiting on a fuse holder for 1/0 wire
Finish painting as much of the car as I can
Bleed the brakes - pray no leaks
Fill the trans with fluid
Fill the coolant system
Finish installing the intake - waiting on a coupler
Weld on two hangers for the exhaust
A couple other small odds and ends


Goal is to have it started and running next weekend.

I'm so following this

yes i still get on nearly everyday, i just don't always comment or read through everything.

[brushforhire]

Oh man, I am so close to starting this little monster. I welded the exhaust last night, still no extra hangers yet, though. I will get to them later. I put a new oil filter and oil in the engine.

As a side note, remembering to turn on the shielding gas really helps, lol.

So far it looks like a start and run will happen this weekend! Then I just gotta finish the painting and then I can start driving it again.

awesome!

It lives! I officially started it about 20 minutes ago! It sounds fantastic. So much better than I could have hoped for. Tomorrow I hope to test drive it, and take a quick video of the sound of this little beast. Should it road worthy for next week, I hope.

I do have a check engine light, but I am hoping it is something simple like the MAF sensor. I just used the used one that came with the little piece for my intake, and I am thinking it may be bad. I will change to the new a/m one I bought and see if that helps. Brakes are all bled and seem to be working in good order. I did so many things at once to this, I wanna take me time and make sure nothing falls off, when I finally take it out on the road.

Edit: Video delayed, still trying to get a few odds and ends together before driving. Ugh.

Good to hear. I just got my sedan back after cleaning the fuel system and installing the new resonator. I am super excited that I can now drive it.

Awesome man! Congrats and welcome to the dark side! LOL!

[ern-diz]

So jelly!

[brushforhire]

Okay, so I gave it a test drive today! Fantastic. I got a CEL and I gotta get it checked. I have to finish the painting, and a few other adjustments, like setting the proper height for coilovers.

I will get a video up the sound soon.

[Frank the Tank]

what was the CEL for?

[brushforhire]

Not sure yet, I know one problem was a bad MAF sensor, but even after disconnecting the battery and letting it sit, the CEL came back on.

I am finishing the painting this week and will drive it to work on Monday and have them check the CEL.

I am thinking a bad 02 sensor, but I am hoping it is something simple. I will keep you all updated.

Pictures, and possibly video on monday! The car looks so goofy with only partial painting being done right now. Lol

I drove it to work today. Turns out I have the P0977 code and P2770 code. I will double check my grounding and see if is loose. I am hoping that might be why it doesn't really feel like it has more power at this point.

I am pretty sure I know what happened.

I grounded pin 10 to the tranmission, thinking that was the one I wanted. It is not. I need to ground out pin 9, but the XD harness does not have a pin 9. So I need to add PIN 9, and then reconnect pin 10 to the harness. I will simply move the ground from 10 to 9, and then take one of the pins from the yaris harness and solder it back to wire 10 on the xd harness. The worst part it pulling pins. Ugh.

[brushforhire]

Okay so I moved the grounded wire to pin location 9, and added another wire/pin to location 10 and reconnected the wire to the ecu. CEL's gone!

If you use the XD harness the transmission plug only has 8 pins. You need nine. All you need to do is add a pin/wire from the yaris trans plug to location 9 and ground that out.

Still super simple, just a tad different. Runs much better.

As promised video of exhaust!

Exhaust I can say that it does sound a bit deeper in person, the phone's mic sucks.

And a quick pic of how it sits right now. Still have a few odds and ends to finish, but definitely better.

I have noticed what feels like torque steer.

[tmontague]

I can't remember, is your car auto or standard?
