Thus i remove the drive by wire and have good old cable. Theres a setback w/ the ecu as i got one w/ an immobilizer and i got no keys Im still worried how the ecu will react to the .3 more discplacement so i may have get a stand alone or a piggyback. I plan to get regrounded cams and a camcon by the end of summer.

Hmm, I wasn't aware the '04 Sienna or '00 Avalon had immobilizers in the keys. I had an '00 Avalon and didn't remember that. Is this an option? Is there an ECU without the immobilizer?

Good luck with the cams. The VVT-i cams are pretty efficient from what I understand. You probably should try the Camcon first then look to custom grinds.

Wow that's interesting... Welcome to SolaraGuy!

Quite an interesting setup. Good luck and keep us posted on your project.

Thanks for sharing.

well this totaly blows, my new ecu i got from ebay is also equiped w/ an immobilizer. It's hard to get parts from Car-parts since all the US guys hates dealing w/ us canadians

Well, get a set of immobilizer-equipped keys, then have the ECU flashed to accept them. My car came delievered with only a valet key, but since CarMax has an offer to give each car 2 keys and a remote (if equipped), they had to send it in for about a week (but I was given 2 master keys and the valet back).

the ecu isn't flashable via toyota scantool and from what i've seen it would cost 300+ to reprogram it w/ 2 keys. the ecu is worth like 1/2 of that...

but there is some good new though. the ebay seller whom i bought it for has the keys. now i have to wait again

Ok i got my new ecu and the car starts, yay but now i have 2 limping codes stopping me from having my way w/ the car
P0758 - Shift Solenoid B Electrical
P0773 - Shift Solenoid E Electrical

using 5 and 10 ohm 25 watt resistors it shouldn't give me any of this...

Did you use a manual ecu??

BTW, like I have told you before... much props... I am actually starting on a swap myself,,,, which will be the 5VZ on my camry... if Node can fit them on the MR2s..... lol, why not try it?? LOL

the sad thing is they never offered m/t for any vvti v6 not for the 00 avalon & camry or 98 es300 & rx300.
I don't see much problem putting a 5vz but that engine isn't setup for transverse. so most likely you'll do what every mr2 guy did and play w/ the radiator pipes

Nice setup !!

Where do you come from ??

Yeah thats what I figured for the 5vz.... But for your swap are you running the E153 Tranny??

yep w/ solara internals

The car currently at the muffler shop, im using those m/t manifolds and non of them damn precats. when i get it back i'll return to finding my idling issue
