18rgeu eqiup. compatibility questions

Ok, I got the runners, plenum, main injectors and that stuff.
I was wondering if anyone knew of anything I could do about these.
I need:
fuel pressure regulator
cold start injector
throttle body and TPS
I already have the ECU and AFM thing sorted out (22re or 2SE)
Does anyone know of any of the above list that can be sourced from easier to find engines than the 18rgeu? Particularly if any of it can be used from the 2SE or 22R-E. (I know that the 22RE FPR can't be used)

Yeah, I've got the thermostat housing and the sensers.
I've heared that a 22R-E TB could be used and an external FPR from an EFi mercedes could be used but just wanted to hear if anyone knew otherwise or of better options.
The engine in the avatar is an 18rg/u/eu
It has many different generations making it up.
It looks much better from the top but I couldn't find that photo.

personally i wouldnt really bother with the Cold start injector. Its completely disabled on my 100kw 4a-ge and the bastard starts fine.
I thought perhaps to blank it with a piece of aluminium, but was short on time.

It would supprise me if a 22re cold start injector didn't fit? also any fuel pressure regulator will work you just need to find one that will mount in place. Again check the 22re and the 2se.

Yeah I completely removed the cold start injector on my 18R-GEU and I don't have any problems starting it.

Excellent, thanks guys for the FPR and cold start info.
So a 22R-E TB and TPS should be ok then?
Can anyone suggest anything that would do the job better, or wouldn't there be much improvement to be made from different models?

well, for those who are interested
I found a TB that bots straight on, the one from a MX73 cressida, YAY!
I plan to use the FPR from a 3SFE and mount it externally, it shouldn't be too hard to do.
I couldn 't find anything to replace the cold start so I probably won't, I would have to modify the plenum to mount anythings else in there, not real keen on that.
also planning to use an old cressida or camry external EFI pump.
Thanks to those who offered ideas.

Just found out that I will have to use a 22R-E throttle body as the TPS from the MX73 TB is not compatible with the 22R-E loom, bugger, the cressida one was 4mm bigger.
The cressida fuel pump pushes 6-7 psi so hopefully that should do the job.
