I was recently reading peoples problems wit their 1jz swap, But most if not all seems to be from using a supra 1j or chaser engine. My question is Im getting a 1jz with everything from my boy that came out a soarer(ecu and all). Will it be a straight drop in with the ONLY thing me having to do is extend wiring? If not, exactly what else would I need for everything to be 100%. No airbag lights, oil light etc? Remember this is coming from a 1jz-gte soarer going into my sc300. the soarer motor set and my car is auto.

It will be a direct swap. Pretty much just extend the all the wires going through the firewall, and change the timing belt, water pump, and spark plugs while you're at it. If you're car is a 95+ then you need to do a couple extra things, but thats it.

You will have to extend the harness. Its easy jsut take your time do 1 wire at a time. make sure you solder them. If you cant solder practice on some wire first. Its not hard either. You will have to do 3 things tho. Jumper a resistor on ur tach so it will work. run a ground for your temp and re route your check engine light wire. There is a thread on this that shows where they are and how to. Its realllllly easy to do as well. as for the Airbag light I hate to say it you will prolly have one less people have figured out how to get rid of it. I still have one. I pulled the bulb out. But that is me. I will put it back if I can find a fix tho. GL
