T Montague's 2zr swap - '08 m/t sedan some extra info

[Corbeaubleu]

Also what exactly is included in a XD harness? Trashed Scions are way rare here.

Precisely the reason why the harness used in this Canadian project was sourced out of the States.

...by Cranky, from a recycler on the other side of the country, who also collected parts from an xD at his local you-pick-yard. ;)

The MT swap is something not to be attempted by the easily discouraged. I will do everything in my power to help the next person, but it may take months or even years before the right parts are available. Armstrong Racing and I are putting together a swap kit--hopefully MT--because we want to see more of these happen.

That said, the AT swap is cake. Dime a dozen for those parts, much less hassle with sourcing them. If you're a competent shade tree mechanic and willing to put in the time up front, this is easily a weekend project. Bolt in ~130 hp. OEM reliability. Done.
