The 2zr-fe engine swap guide

Hmm, care to explain a bit more about what you mean in regards to splicing in the yaris harness to whatever other harness you're talking about? I'm assuming you're talking about splicing it to a Corolla or Matrix harness however I thought those require much more changes to pin location. Seems like an xD harness is ideal if you can find one.

I'm looking forward to your engine swap, I will very likely be doing this once my 1NZ starts burning oil and dies. Since it's a Toyota this will still be a few years away. But i'm just getting everything understood.

I'm assuming you have an immobilizer as well?

Sounds like your swap would be identical to mine in the future.

Yes, an xD is ideal, which is why I lead with that. =) Splicing could be done either by removing pins and moving whole sections of wire, or by cutting and soldering/crimping as needed. Moving pins is better since it leaves less chance for loose connections or high internal resistance.

Yes, but as discussed a page or two back, buying a non-immobilizer ECU and disconnecting the SIL wire from the key transponder ECU solves that.

Sounds like your swap would be identical to mine in the future.

Potentially, though your profile pic looks like a sedan, not a hatch.
