1mz VVTI swap
So idk who knows this but the 'Lara blew up. Seems a piston ring was bad causing oil to burn excessively. Ignored it for too long and it caused the motor to knock..
We have gone out and bought an '03 Avalon XL to swap the motor from, only to learn it is a VVTi 1MZ. Mine is a non-VVTi 1MZ. So my issue is, The intake of the VVTi has no EGR the PCMs are different. And none of the wiring harness that came out with the VVTi motor connect to the solara.
My next thought was, Block oil passages that should disable VVTi, swap the non-VVTi heads onto this VVTi block and this should allow me to use the old PCM to make it simple.
I need to know how to block said oil passages. I have heard it mentioned here but no one explained it. (at least not that i can remember)
Any help would be appreciated guys!!
