My MR2's New Engine from A Minivan!! II SW20 II Project 2GR II Part 2

Smart move getting all the parts first and engine last. Your comment about having a harness made is a great tip that I didn't event think of, Ill see about having someone make my harness.

Getting a new harness is definitely worth it. It beats having to chase potential gremlins in an old harness. Since your car is a corvette, I’m sure there is lots of options for wiring harnesses.

I love that you're using the S54 on your 2GR swap. Ive been rocking mine for 2 years! I think the community needs more testing on what kind of punishment the S54 can handle. Down the line it would be awesome to see a detailed install of an e351 from a camry/solara but its still a big project with a decent cost attached to it.

I definitely plan on doing a video of the e351 swap when I get around to that!

Glad to see a 2GR on the channel! Your s54 should be fine. Mine survived 8k miles and 20 autocross events before the differential let go. Now I have an E153 but I’m swapping to an E351 this winter.

Good to hear, I figured as long as I avoid hard launches it should hold up for a season before switching to a e351!

what ac compressor do you have to run with it? how were you able to compression test it at the junk yard?

[@saladbar21]

I’m using the TCS ac lines which are meant to work with the 1GR ac compressor. The part number they recommend is the Denso 4711413. Regarding the compression test, I should have been more clear they had a video compression testing the engine. It’s always a bit of a gamble because people can be dishonest, but I felt good about it. I’ve bought plenty of stuff from this junkyard and have had good experiences.

@@saladbar21 I have talked to about a dozen people that have got their 2gr already pulled so they couldn't see it running and that all have had good luck even with 150k+ miles.

Who’s doing your harness for you?
