Hi, im new to this forum n i need more info. I have a 99 tL with blown motor n i'm planing on swaping it out for a j32a2 motor out of a 03 type s. I was wondering if i can still use my stock harness n ecu. i know tranny bolts right up. Do i have to swap some sensor out. Im hoping someone can help me out?

 

I guess nobody in here got info

 

First thing this is a forum we are not getting paid to answer post right away be patient it might take some time. Now you can not switch ecu since you have a 4 speed auto youcan not use a type a ecu. It will search for 5 gears and you will only have four causing it to run in safety mode( no vtec). From what I read before you just use your wiring harness and ecu

 

2 hours on a saturday and you are whining about no help???
gratitude really speeds the process!

never heard of anyone going up a year with a 99
several things are different starting with 2000 model year
you have a 4 speed auto? spark plug wires or coil on plug? (not sure when that change occured)

easier to get another 99 engine or rebuild yours or find a nice toyota

 

I've seen a couple of people with type s engines in a 99 just search through google

 

thats why the disclaimer `I never heard of it,,,not a googler of info I dont care about,,not about my 01??,,dont really need to know,,brain full~

spending more time on the 2 wheel honda = having a life ,,than I used too~

 

ya theres someone here who tried using a type s transmission and failed had to take it out and rebuild it again, save ya self the hassle and just put another tlp motor in it. you got to thing of these cars just like any other a swap is a swap.

 

thanks guys sorry i sound like a d**k but i got get this car running. i got it to ran twice by switching out my type s manifold n put my stock manifold on tha type s n it work for tha two try n now i wont start up when i got done putting everything together again.

I try searching on google n it jus tell me but guys with 00 n up 2g base model doing type s swap only n that 99 alittle different.

 

no spark, or no crank over? ck the main ignition fuse

if battery was connected during some work - it could have popped

 

a junkyard motor is possible but risky on a 99,,its old and been sitting,,never a good combo

ck places like oroeilly auto parts for complete engine, or local rebuilders that do exchange of unit,,add your manifolds and install

 

Hey Vang Peter, you stated that you got the motor to start twice.....which motor ?
Do you still have the original '99 or have you already dropped the '03 "S" motor in ?

You are going to have some extra work and effort, but with some patience, maybe alot......it is possible to upgrade. It'll definitely require some added research, time and skill on your behalf.

First off, I'd suggest getting the service manuals to better understand what all is actually involved with this swap and the differences involved between the two motors. There's enough things that could throw you off rather easily in my opinion.

 

sorry guy for late reply but i got it figure out it jus my harness has a loose connection or plug somewhere i have to figure it out. it not giving me a solid connection but thanks..

at 01tl4tl no its not a junkyard motor. its frm a wreck type s that got hit on tha passenger rear n motor only got 64k miles n its a complete swap with cut harness so that y i have to use my stock.
