swaped 3sgte., still good at cornering Options

[recneps]

i was just wondeing for you swaped guys are your cars still good at cornering. i cant imagine the celi still being good at cornering with all that weight at the front.

also if anyone knows how much the 5sfe weighs to the 3sgte.

also 3sgte has a iron block right?
- making it heavier.

picked this off a forum about the MR2 NA vs MR2 Turbo

Really? What evidence do you base your opinions on? I wouldnt reccomend just a turbo engine either. This is because teh Turbo models use a E153 transaxle, a much stronger peice of equipment than n/a's A241E type transaxle, thus, the engine, along with the transxle must be replace. Also, turbo models had stronger axles, all together, better brakes(J-Spec), better suspension. ou would also need the turbo transmission, which cmoes with longer gear ratios. But, with the turbo, and its iron 3SGTE block (weighing in at ~300lbs) will weigh about 2800lbs, whereas the n/a is only 2600lbs. Overall, if you are planning to do the swap, (which isnt as hard as you think), here are some helpful links;

so 200lbs, but if you had subs i'd say 150-180

someone else want to say what can be done(ie 5th gen springs on either front or back to counter the added weight)?
