If you're talking about a swap set, those come out of what amounts to Japanese corollas. The wiring harness that comes with that motor is meant for a corolla, not an mr2. The coolant lines are different, and the water and fuel lines are also not the same.

The wiring and other accessory parts that me, Kameleon, and Aaron sell are geared towards making non-swapset motors work. So you could buy that $400 ebay motor, or whatever you found locally, have me wire from the cut harness, buy an ecu and a few other electrical items, buy the other swap parts, and have it be a mostly plug and play project.

Finding nice 16v's is getting to be a problem. They stopped making the high comp in 1992. They made 20v's through till 1999. You still see low mileage 16v's show up on ebay sometimes, but they arent' real common. My importer hasn't had on in years. Of course 200k 16v's are easy to find, but any of these will need a rebuild.
