Well, my early 2006 Scion tC is ready for a newer low mileage engine. I plan on trying to purchase a used 2007-10 engine and would like to know what the differences are between the two engines. What will I need to transfer from my 2006 to the newer engine (ie. Sensors, throttle body)?
Also, would I have any issues putting my 05/06 trd Supercharger on the newer 07-10 engine?



Any info, tips, precautions is much appreciated!

all you have to do is search. This has been covered many many times.

Already tried, want to tell me the keywords to input into search?

Differences are mostly internal - compression, oil squirters, coolant porting, ...
05-06 externally have different intake piping/MAF; S/C wil need to be adapted to your MAF
Also, get an ECU to handle the newer motor (rev. limit goes from 6250 to 6500rpm)

IMO better to stay with 05-06, and spend that money on upgrades.

My current engine needs to be replaced, the whole reason for wanting the 07-10 engine are for the oil squirters, otherwise id just look into getting another 05/06 engine.

I plan on using my 05/06 Supercharger so most likely I will have to use my current trd reflashed ecu.

Good info so far.... More please!

you should be fine with the swap

all u need is the newer engine, get rid of the harness and use you 06 harness. I also used the 08 intake manifold because it has an extra nipple for the throttle body that the 06 mani doesn't have and there's a nipple on the throttle body that just vents to atmosphere. Everything else is just the same old thing, no reason for ECU either man. As far as supercharger I have no idea, I was turbo at the time but it should be all the same. The newer engines might have a shorter accessory belt, take a look cuz I'm not sure.
