    SRT's 2GR Swap

    I know I started a introduction thread a couple of days back. I view that as more of just saying hiya! Not by any means a full on introduction.

    Let me first bring everyone here up to date on when my swap was started, the original concept and where it is now and why.

    **I will probably need to edit this since I have been up since 2 am local time and its currently almost 11pm** sorry for any typos in advance!

    2 Years ago I publicly announced I was going to start this swap. My intentions then are different then they are now. Some because of research others because of life. I purchased my Mr2 Roadster knowing I wanted to do this swap before I had even heard of Blitzo's not to mention Gouky had not even built his then. I bought the car 5 years ago roughly and it was in need of some loving care. Blitzo basically told me it can be done but was not in much communication. So I started out driven the car and planning the project. The Evora was still code named Eagle here in the States and much of it was still Hush Hush. Then the big announcement of the 2GR mated to a 6 speed gearbox. Being Human I wanted to go down the path of least resistance so I decided I would build the drive train like Lotus. So I started saving money and making contact on Ebay.co.uk with breakers for parts I needed that were not sold in the USA.


    I purchased brand new items from lotus to start the swap. These are no longer going to be used but I want to make sure no one else goes down this path with out knowing someone already tried.
    Starter adapter and engine adapter


    Standard Evora Flywheel


    Throw out bearing adapter

    Gearbox



    I was pretty sure I was going to be able to use all of those parts. However after having my son then getting a case of viral meningitis my project fund started to dry up a tad. Ok a lot. All of those bits were not bought at the same time as I was having to find part numbers search wait for a nice person at the Lotus dealership to order them and await them to arrive from being made. The gearbox I found someone who didnt want to rape me on price in the UK and also was very fair on shipping so that was a quick process.


    The engine from a local yard here in Florida. I drove the hour to Orlando to pick it up and was very very excited all the way there as it was still in the Avalon. To much of My surprise I was allowed out in the yard as they used a forklift to bring the car around to have me make inspect the engine. It looked great I told them yes I'll take it.
    so they unbolted it and they started snatching it out of the donor. Then one of the workers noticed the engine was being held in to the car and decided to help get it out faster and yes you guested it cut the harness.


    Not a major set back but just couple hundred bucks.

    The avalon gave me many parts. Here are just a couple of pictures of them

    Drive By Wire throttle pedal

    immobilizer


    I then test fit the items together.


    alright mate the fit together!! :)


    The car then was getting prepped to start the swap.





    I bought a new RAV4 ECU from Toyota



    which meant I no longer had a 5 plug harness need to I bought a 60 pin plug from a local yard.


    there was some clearance issues with the gearbox and engine fitting unlike the MKII I was going to need to make some room.





    a little bit of heat was used and a bit of "massaging" metal was done






    More to be continued tomorrow.

    I would be interested in how you got the six speed to work and if you have part numbers for the conversion parts or even know some one that could make them?
    A few of us over here would be gagging for a six speed conversion.

    Tigg's the 6 spd is on hold right now. I sold mine off since they are uncommon here but I will be working on getting another. Another MR2 2GR driver has it and will being doing some more R&D on some solutions.

    -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
    Sorry if some of this information is a bit redundant from other threads or even this one since I am playing catch up on the forum
    -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

    So after I message the metal on the side box beams they looked something like





    The black marks are from eyeballing it and seeing that I may need to do just a touch more.

    I then mounted the engine in the car using a awfully made bracket.


    Even though I had bought Gouky's I was trying to make a bolt in solution for the MKIII guys. (This ended up not happening and I bought a MKII mount) However, there is another person up in the Northern Central USA named FUE who is currently designing a bolt in mount.

    With the EA60 gearbox and my mount I wanted to know ground clearance.




    Now that the engine was in the car for the time being I started on the wiring.

    So I took the 60 Pin A9 Connector and a Rav4 wiring Diagram and got the following information

    I then took apart the standard cable throttle pedal. I then modified the bracket by drilling out a spot weld cutting a 90 degree wedge out to fold it over. I then re-welded the bracket with a reinforced piece. Having to tweak it and bend it this gave me a good rough draft of how to mount the pedal (A4 connector) Ideally the pedal needs to be moved towards the drivers side by about 9 to 13mm. I might have someone draw up a pretty cad drawing later.



    I then bought a ZZW30 wiring diagram book somewhere in the process of the last few steps.

    Determined the following

    So the MR2 does not have CanH and CanL I have been talking with another forum member and through some discussions we believe it is just named differently.

    TAC and TS also are not in the MR2 Spyder either so I am just going to add these pins.


    The main reason I am discussing the wiring is I have convinced myself to try to make the car run with one ecu, making the dash and all the other equipment work just like it came from the factory. Utilizing just one OBD2 port. This is the reason why I am making such a detailed listing of the harness information.

    I eventually want to make a list of which plug and pin needs to be spliced to the 2GR harness plug and pin to make everything copacetic.


    Another forum member (from a different forum) I discovered something about the same time while on the phone. The MR2 C12-6 (Plug-Pin) is signal TACH. Which will need to be wired in a loop from C12-6 to E-13-9 to A9-15. (E-13 is part of the spyder harness maybe able to be completely removed)

    We also identified C11-3 (MPX2) & C12-5 (MPX1) as CANH and CANL I will need to look into this further to find out which one is which.


    The some trouble came up A9 style connect I had purchased for this swap came out of a 2010 Camry 2AR-fe. The connector is physically the same but the pin out is ONLY about 50% the same as the Rav 4 Harness. Almost one day was spent making a Tyco pin remover which needed to be made from a piece of steel that was 1mm wide by 10mm long by tall. The tip of the tool needed to be .2 mm so the last 3 mm had to ground down from 1mm to .2mm which is a slope of what 78 or something like that.

    So I took apart the harness and they would not come out, Broke the tool and I was mad so I made another then I talking with someone the mention the little piece of plastic and said you know that a lock, and then I remembered reading about that but in a hurry I had forgotten about it. Spent the rest of the night moving some of the wires. The wires I did not need to more were the A4 (drive by wire), CanH, CanL, and the Battery wires, then there was an equal amount that I needed to have a pin that only had a rubber plug.

    I metered the plug out to make sure all the wires have continuity and checking to make sure they are properly seated back into the plug.I ran the wires to the pedal and OBD2. I soldered the DBW wires from the ECU to the pedal. I routed the wires through the interior of the car in the center console area. I used adel clamps to hold the wires where I want.

    I took apart the A9 connector, use a tool I made to remove the pins and relocate the pins to where I needed them. None of my wire colors match so I labeled each wire to which pin it went to and the signal it was.

    I made my OBD2 in the MKIII configured to that of the Rav4, this required me to splice/solder some wires together as well as moving a pin.

    Pin's 1-3,8,10-11, &15 are not used.
    The following pins and signals are the same.
    Pin 4 -=-=- CG
    Pin 5 -=-=- SG
    Pin 7 -=-=- SIL
    Pin 13 -=-=- TC
    Pin 16 -=-=- BATT

    Pin 6 A/B I spliced in CANH from A9-10

    Pin 9 I added TACH. To do this I harvested a pin and wire from a spare OBD connector.

    Pin 12 I added a pin in the same method from the spare connector then spliced it into the TS signal. (green and red wire) I cut the wire and simply soldered on the new lead.

    Pin 14 I spliced in CANL from A9-11


    These wires were cut and soldered to a new wire I ran across the rear firewall. these wires shared signals and were almost the exact same circuit laid out. The letters in parenthesis are for the Mr2 harness. Which to my knowledge all years are the same, unlike the Rav4.
    A9-1 -=-=-=-=-=-=- to E2-1 (B-Y) Batt
    A9-2 & 3 -=-=-=-=- to BC2-5 ( +B(added +B2))
    A9-28 -=-=-=-=-=- to E2-8 (B-R) IGSW
    A9-34 -=-=-=-=-=- to E3-21 (GR) MREL
    A9-52 -=-=-=-=-=- to E2-3 (G-R) FC
    A9-24 -=-=-=-=-=- to E2-15 (YR) W (which converts on the Rav4 to EFI. The Rav4 ECU is not 100% happy so I borrowed a Camry ECU which was a little bit more happy but not as much as I would have liked.

    About this time I got deathly ill with a case of viral meningitis. Spending almost 3 weeks out and lots of cash spent on hospital bills, we can talk about health care in a different thread. :)

    I had the car for sale and many offers for the car with the hard top for much less than 3 thounsand USD. Which was a joke to me. So I bought a MKII NA auto that I was just going to swap the 2GR into MKII and call it done. However, after talking with a few people they motivated me to get back in the game with the Spyder. The EA60 with no starter mount and funky gear linkage is out. I will come back to this another day. I bought a 93+ E153 with LSD and will do the axles using MKII LSD Turbo inner stubs and 1990 v6 Camry Outter bits. The Flywheel / clutch from lotus is also gone. I bought a 9.5 Lbs flywheel and APR bolts from Forward Motion Performance.

    My NEW flywheel


    My New Pressure plate


    The new double sprung clutch disc


    The inner stubs I bought no outters as of yet
