1JZ auto to r154 motor set??

[trydrew]

I would like to ask a few of you jz swap masters some quick questions.

How logical would it be to buy a 1JZ engine set with an auto tranny, then bolt up my r154 with a jz bellhousing?
I know it can be done obviously, but what all would I need besides the flywheel and bellhousing?
Would I need to have any special wiring do be done? Im pretty good with wiring and diagrams, but I'd like to know what would have to be done.
Would I need to buy a M/T ECU? and could I use the auto wiring harness with it?

As of right now, I'm only considering my options, so please be gentle with my requests. And yes, I did do a quick search.. I will continue to search, but it can't hurt to go ahead and ask now, right?

Look for Bobiseverywhere's thread in the 1jz,2jz section. He pretty much tells you everything you need to know. It is alot harder than you're thinking it is, but it can and has been done by alot of people. Good luck.

My 7MGE i swapped to a W58 is still on an auto harness, Using a manual ECU, But thats nt needed.

For a 1jz to bolt up to an R154...

R154
1jz bellhousing
a 1jz flywheel
And thats it. Everything else is identical as far as I know

you can stay with the auto ecu. by-pass the neutral safety switch and wire the reverse light's into the r154.use your old gte driveshaft and get a 7m clutch kit

Lol ok. Well I knew that much. I have an auto > 5spd swapped 7mgte already. It is currently using the auto harness and a manual ecu. Ive rewired the tailights from the plug in the dash to a switch, and Ive returned the car to the original starter curcuit by bypassing the nss already.
Knowing all that, I was making sure that the 1JZ worked the same, as far as plugs on the differing ecus and such.

Thanks for the info!
