>>14315700
thats fucking stupid

>>14315700
v6 is literally the worst engine layout

it does literally nothing right

You know, a guy at the Cars and Coffee here in Cary has a V6 swapped MR2

>>14315700
no one has done this here, check mr2 forums, if you don't have the mr2 already and want a v6 powered mid engine car get a fiero with the 3.8 SC, its probably at least half the cost of doing the mr2 swap + turbo

>>14315712
I heard it was a fairly popular mod. i.e. the v6 has a better torque band.

Could you elaborate?

if we said it was cheap, you still wouldnt do it

i bet you dont even own one.

fuck you

Same meet up, guy had an LS swapped RX-7 too, lol

>>14315700
Yes, the 3.6L V6 2gr fe from the Evora. There was a company doing it with the turbo set up.

Don't know shit.

>>14315731
Aren't MR2's an all around better car than a fiero?

>>14315773
stock vs stock? yes mr2's are way better but the fiero can be made fast very easily and GM parts are always cheap

>not ls1 swapping it

>>14315807
I wonder if that'd work, maybe using the drive train from an impala SS

>>14315765
3.5L and I guess there was a supercharged one as well 2GR-FZE... anyway google is your friend, and an MR2 forum.

>>14315827
>>14315731
I usually ask here last. All the forums I found were almost exclusively theoretical.

>>14315821
>4 speed automatic

>>14315721
why not just do a turbo honda 4banger ?

It's be easy to use an SC 3800 from a grand prix or something.

>>14315700

I've been thinking of attempting to slap a volvo i5 in one. It's not much longer than an i4.

in all practicality, it'd make more sense to go with a v6 out of a rav4 (which has been done a bunch) or a honda K20 (also a popular swap)

Grab the header+ swap kit and have your factory harness spliced for the ECU.

If you start with an NA (which you should), you need to source a turbo E-series trans-axle to handle the power.
With new engine, transmission, axles, ECU, lines and fittings, you'll be hovering around $3K-$5K depending on quality of parts.

After that, a whole lot of time working and troubleshooting to get it right.

End result is pretty fun though.

3MZ-FE are pretty cheap, 2GR are beasty. plenty of people have done it check forums. I just want a 20v in my AW11

either do this >>14315932 or build a 3sgte

Accord V6 swap, Boom. BUDGET NSX

>>14315700
There's a lot of documentation and premade motor mount for the Camry V6. Then have the engine built to reliably handle a small amount of boost, ~8psi? Would most likely be very reliable and more than enough power for you to handle if its done right.
Could be a lot of fun.

>>14315908

Do it! That would be so fucking cool

>>14315730

You go to Cary C&C? Awesome. I'll be there next spring with my yellow 991 911. Come say hello, you're probably the only 4chan member I wouldn't run screaming from immediately.

Also, there's a 2nd V6 swapped MR2 in the area. Black paint, a little beat up, but mechanically amazing.

>>14315700

Would be easier to swap in a flat 6 Subaru motor and turbo it... Or a 300hp sti motor.

>>14317574
Nah, going from transverse to longitudinal would be a pain in the butt.

I have, OP, though not with a turbo. I went with the 3vz-fe from a 93 camry.

I finished the swap early December, but still got a couple of things I need to do to make it road-worthy. The car runs and you can definitely feel the extra power.

>>14317574
By what logic are you basing that?

this is a fucking gay asss carr

Yeah man. Its EZ as plug and play. Engine swaps are a joke lol. U should do an LS tho xD I put one in an mg kidget yesterday vroom vroom!

>>14315761
Isnt that an Lt?
Also grrr.

>>14317781
Er, no. It's got "LS2" stamped on the engine covers, dumbass.

half the length of an I6
fits anywhere an I4 does and is considerably smoother
can be a structural component because of rigidity

>>14317876
If i was pretending i wouldve made an assumption. I acquisitioned whether it was or not i read L52 and thought it was some gm stupid shit like the ls7 is also a 427 so i was confused you buttmad fuck, you sound like a fat ginger kid who gets bullied so he comes here to vent his beta insecurities right now

>>14315700
a welder, an angel grinder and some skill and you can do anything m8

A friend of mine is doing a 2GR SW20 swap in his performance shop right now, I'm living that NEET life rn, you want me to doc it for you?

>an engine wider than your mom.

>>14315700
I've done a v6 swap on an mr2 before and depending on the engine you chose it can be fairly straight forward or very difficult. The easiest engines to swap in are the 3vz and the 1mz. The only thing custom you would have to make is the passage side motor mount which I think you can find premade now. The ecus for both those engines are simple and don't need a lot of tricking.

The next possible engines would be the 5vz and 3mz. These engines are a little bigger and are built a little stronger so they can handle boost a little easier. The issue with them is you will be making a lot of custom parts to get these engines in and the ecus are a little more complex.

Finally you have the 2gr which is again pretty easy to install like the 1mz/3vz but it has a much more complex ecu and will require massive rewires to get everything to work correctly.

I used a 5vz in my swap since I wanted to turbo it. It took me 3 years and about 7k to complete the swap. I ended up making 324 whp and 325lb of torque. It gave my car far more low end power than I could ever get out of the 3sgte and made it much better at autox type events

What engine could I put in my AW11

>>14316370
Camy v6 is shit. Can't handle being used in a sporty matter. I know because after doing some skids and catching some speed the engine cracked. It was a well maintained car just a shitty engine.

Just pop in a k20 and call it a day.

>>14316025
>>14318569

How much hp can the stock transaxle handle?

Will the 3vz or 1mz handle a moderate amount of boost well?

Are there any estimates on how much whp an N/A 3vz, 1mz, or 5vz will give an MR2?

How much is too much on that light of a car? Did you take your MR2 to the track?

>>14316203
This nigger gets it, OP if you do anything else just off yourself

>gm stupid shit like the ls7 is also a 427
Uh, doesn't 427 just refer to its displacement in cubic inches?

The S54 (stock in the NA) shifts smoothly, but it isn't rated to handle much over 200hp.

The E153 (stock in the turbo) with reinforced axel cages is (optimistically) rated to take around 800hp. Most of the guys with 600-800whp builds blow through gearboxes every couple years or so.

Power figures from the V6s are pretty wide, and depend on whether or not you bolt-on a supercharger.

V6 swapped W20s are said to feel plenty powerful, so wouldn't really need a turbo.
Also, it'd be very difficult to find space for the turbine without cutting into the trunk.

As for my SW20, it's got plenty of power for the racing I do. 400hp seems to be the stopping point in the owners club for everyone who actually races their cars on anything but a 1/4 mile.
In my opinion, that's already a bit too much power in a race car.

>>14315700
why are you asking on here?
plenty of people have done this on various mr2 forums

>>14315765
holy fuck that launch
