Have a read through the projects section and all the info u need can be found on pretty much every thread..
Also worth using the search function and most answers come up..
Don't worry this is a question that gets asked countless times, just winds up people sometimes that rather than doing research the question just gets asked point blank.
I researched for 6 months, printed out loads of info from where ever I could find, be it UK forums or us forums, and eventually I took the plunge and did the swap.. took me 4 weeks to complete and I did it alone..
Seek and u shall find my friend..

Hi Bish!

You need your MR2 fly, the two disks from the camry flywheel (behind the torque converter) and a custom mount for the pulley end.

Also I would keep all the water hoses.

And make sure you get the 4th ECU plug from the loom!

In the download section there's a full guide on removing the camry engine.

Oh, and the exhaust front section.....

Unless you want to splash out on a new one....

In fact, go read our first build thread - it details all the highs and lows!!!

Chris.

...and all the other plugs that go into the V6 ECU, with the V6 engine loom- and of course the ECU itself. The 4th plug is always mentioned, but you're shafted if you don't take care of the others (they'll be dangling off your camry engine when you remove it, looking like a rastafarian hairdo, with the plastic box section trunking around the engine)
