[@stephenmunyiri719]

Awesome content. Been contemplating of executing this swap. Also, I am thinking of turbo charging my 1nz hehe. In your experience, is this doable in Kenya? Is it a good idea to start with? is it troublesome ?

[@charlel_adventure]

Thank you 🙏. I recommend the swap to everyone. Manuals are more reliable and economical. However, I don't recommend turbo-charging an aluminiun block, such as a 1nz-fe. It has a higher probability of being trouble-some. But if you still want to try it out, I can recommend a garage for doing that.

[@deejaynoldi]

You can try a 4E-FTE swap instead

[@charlel_adventure]

@@deejaynoldi true. Buying an engine that is turbo-charged from factory is better

[@stephenmunyiri719]

@@deejaynoldi thanks for the suggestion. I will check if it fits in an IST 2004

[@atkentravelafrica4361]

Nice video man, i was looking for this kind of contect before i decide to jump into the swap project for my old toyota Carina A5, i am curious want to know if you have any problem after the swap until now!! And what made you change to a manual gearbox!! Is it worth the effort!! Also what happen with the comouter unit that control the Automatic gearbox!! Do you have to remove that !!

[@charlel_adventure]

Hi. So far I have not encountered any problem. The set up works perfectly. There is no need for changing the ECU. You will still use the same computer. Believe me when I say that the swap is worth it. I don't regret.

[@Yo-shi-t]

​@@charlel_adventure im getting ready to do this swap did you have to wire anything?

[@charlel_adventure]

@@Yo-shi-t there are no major wiring works. The manual gearbox has less electrical components, and you don't need to change the ECU.

[@davidmainah6269]

How much did it cost u

[@joelratemo1752]

Why did you find it needful to change the gearbox to a manual one? Does it improve your driving experience or does it make the car more powerful and efficient? Just curious.

[@charlel_adventure]

It's actually all the above. Better driving experience, better fuel economy, more acceleration, better torque.

[@tinotendamukanda2917]

I used loom for an automatic on my manual engine swap nissan almera big problem it does not start with key its just turns no crank or wat but if i short wire starter it starts any advise?

[@charlel_adventure]

Looks like you need a wiring expert for this issue. I can recommend my wiring guy if you need any referral

[@MrMwangiChege]

Can this auto to manual swap be done on a toyota Runx with 1NZ FE 1500cc.

[@charlel_adventure]

Yes, very possible. Just get a manual gearbox that is compatible to the engine.

[@ericmwangi3268]

Any leads where one can get a manual transmission?

[@charlel_adventure]

You may have to buy one. They cost around 35 to 40k

[@anonymoustim]

Bana I want to do this on my Mark 2.

[@charlel_adventure]

This is a sign that you should go for it 😂😂

[@collinkenya]

Is it possible I get a six speed manual Gearbox for my 2003 Toyota Mark II or its just a 5 speed. Its a 2000cc AT

[@charlel_adventure]

I am not well-informed on the drivetrains that power a Mark II. You will have to do research and see if there is any 6-speed gearbox that is compatible with the engine you have. I am assuming it's a BEAMS engine?

[@collinkenya]

@@charlel_adventure Oh nice. Let me find out.Thanks

[@collinkenya]

Yeah its a BEAMS@@charlel_adventure

[@user-xv4qs8it9b]

Why starter motor won't work after swapping auto transmission to manual?

[@charlel_adventure]

Hi. That means the engine and gearbox are not compatible. In corollas, that happens when you put an A series engine with an E series gearbox, or vice versa.

[@tinotendamukanda2917]

I also need advise my almera wont start with key changed from auto to manual only starting with hot wiring ..wgat can i do

is it a worthy swap or better buy manual and sell auto

Auto to manual is a very straight-forward swap. Doesn't cost much and was done in a day.

[@anonymoustim]

Bro, give us a quotation hata kama ni range, will work it out
