Want a 95 motor in your 91? ...a Camry motor in your 2? ...maybe a Celica? Heres how:
remove the motor from said offending car. and install the motor in your car. thats is. nothing more. zero.
so frequently theres questions that go something like..
"ive got a 91 with a bad motor, and im gonna put a 93+ motor in.. how do i get all the accessories and harnesses to work with my car"
.. oooor
"ive got a mr2 with a bad motor, and i found a 5sfe from a camry/celica but heard the harness is different and the brackets dont work! what do i do!"
heres the answer! do nothing! install JUST the motor! its a very straight forward procedure, strip your old motor bare of all the accessories, and strip the new motor bare of all its accessories (or better yet, dont even get the accessories!). install all your accessories, such as wiring harness, intake manifold, sensors, water outlets, alternator bracket, and intake and exhaust manifolds, and reinstall the motor. nothing to fab, nothing to rewire and resplice.
i have a 95 motor in my 91. i used only the motor, and it went in without a hitch! didnt have to modify anything, or make funky bracket changes, or swap plugs around. just use the block and it drops right in and runs just like your old one. this will save you an enormous amount of time, money, effort, and headache.
maybe we can sticky this.. honestly, mr2 motor swaps are really easy, and might take a short weekend to complete if you do it right, and use all your current stuff. no need to complicate such a routine basic remove and replace swap!
