2zr-fe swap without scion xd

[Tommytt22]

Hi there, first post

There are some great swap threads on here about putting a 2zrfe into a second gen yaris, only problem is they all draw heavily from the scion xd parts bin, I don't have access to that as I live in Australia. Everything I'd be using would have to come from a Toyota corolla.

Mighty car mods did a fairly informative video on this but I had 2 specific questions that they didn't really cover:

1. All corolla ecus came with an immobiliser from what I understand, is it possible to turn this off/remove the ecu pin/ swap to a corolla key barrel. This is a daily driven car so I don't want to have hassles trying to keep 2 coded keys around just to turn it on

2. Is the 2nz-fe aircon compressor the same as one out of a 2zr-fe? Mighty car mods just deleted aircon but it's no good on a daily car, if I can keep it I'll just disconnect from my engine so it doesn't need to be de gassed


Thankyou!
