Has anyone out there done this swap using the gen2 manifolds and ecu? i am putting an MR2 3s-ge into my st162 celica and im having a little trouble working out some on these vacuum lines, in particular those two that come off the power steering pump on FWD 3s-ge's.
Any help would be awesome guys.

use the search function as this topic has been covered many times. Also try the ST162 dedicated thred, in the general car talk section. We have the info, but use the search function as there are a few of us that answer these threds a little bit too often.

Draza: Search was the first thing i did, to the best of my knowledge no one on toymods who has put a gen2 3s-ge into an st162 has used the gen1 manifolds and ecu cos it makes the job a lot easier. ie they dont face the problem i currently face where i need to work out the vacuum lines to hook up the power steering pump (MR2 doesnt have one).
smt_007: wiso is a good friend of mine. maybe im the guy youre thinking of, his friend currently doing the swap.

sorry farmsci ST162, that wasn't directed at you.
The best idea i have for you is finding someone with an ST162 and have a look at the hoses that you are talking about.

Ah thats cool Draza, i think i need to find an SW20 i can take a look at the engine bay of. Then i can work out what vacuum hose lines connect to what and work out which ones i can use and which ones are useless to me and need to be blocked off. Then i can wedge it in my engine bay and start on wiring. Joy.

god you guys are a great help aren't ya's
yes I am a friend of farmsci_st162"s, and no I don't think he is refering to you man, he would be reffering to halfplugged, our other friend with the red celica, that is no more, it has been written off, besides he didn't know much cause a mechanic did that for him and he also used the gen1 manifolds. I'll be around this weekend man to have a look and see if I can work anything out for you 
and he already has the engine in his garage, rather sexy I must admit.

A bit off topic, but a BEAMs for $4500 is pretty good value, oh so tempted to put it in my SW20, I've got a tax return to spend on my car....hmm....
