its nothing too hard to do .a little common sense and searching will help .not all 1j swaps are the same different years require different wiring .like everyone said installing the engine is a peice of cake .the wiring is a bit time consuming though

im glad someone startde this thread because i was wondering about this too. i would like to know about the wiring issue as well, i have heard dropping the motor in is nothing, its the wiring thats a *****. it would be nice to have and idea of what im getting myself into.
But heres something i ran across the other day. That may save alot of time. Basically Its a 1jz patch harness. Im not sure the length of the soarer harness. But the supra one happens to be 18'' .
So i saved the link,in case i ever do decide to switch to a 1jz .

it took a couple days for me and my mechanic to finish mine. i started with a whole soarer front clip ...definitely made things a whole lot easier. we didn't even have to extend the wiring harness or anything. i don't think we ran into any major problems besides the temp and tach. i would advise a front clip for the swap. makes things sooooo much easier

If anything it only helps to see how everything is mounted in the engine bay or in most cases clips have every part you need and more. but you get every little thing from a reputable distributor too.

I debated wether to get a 1jz or to Na-T for a while. I decided to go the Na-t route. Mainly due to the fact that i knew i could do the work myself. But also knew that for me, the wiring would require having to pay someone to do it.
