Ameristralia United. Help with parts for swap from US

What year model are you dropping the engine in?

You shouldn't need to source anything from the US. You can obtain the engine mount through North Shore Toyota in NZ or direct out of Japan through Amayama. Any of the other XD parts with the exception of shifter cables can all be sourced out of Japan given the same car was sold over there as an IST. You also won't need shifter cables if you only change the one engine mount.

The rest of the conversion can be pieced together with corolla parts. I'm unsure if the immobiliser will sync between a zre152 and an ncp91 (assuming this is what you're using), but you can always work around that if you have the corolla immobiliser and key :)

I'm going to try and do it into an Echo (I know I'll need to cut the rails), but thought getting the bits that would allow the swap into a Gen1 Yaris (NCP90) would be a good start, and getting them from a friendly American, with access to cheap used parts, rather than buying new and probably not using them would be financially smarter. Buy new what is used later.

I'm sure issues with the immobiliser could be overcome but swapping ignition barrels or something.

I wrote the parts list from the Swap threads on here, not sure if you're the guy who posted here that you work for King Wreck, but u-pull-it prices here are not good, and anything else at a wrecker is even worse. Expenive way to do research.
