In the april 2003 issue of Sport Compact Car, they did a V6 swap into an MR2 turbo with a melted piston (see page 199). They shoehorned in a 1MZ-FE 3 liter from an es300 and threw on the trd supercharger for one sick ride.
I realize hood clearance may be an issue in an ST-205, otherwise does anyone see any other problems with this swap (less the supercharger of course). Read the article if possible before responding as there is a ton of info on what is needed in the MR2 swap. |

GeEkBoY, you read it, I read it in both SCC and Turbo Magazine.
The mr2 engine compartment is smaller than the celica. Both engines are about the same height and weight You may need to construct new mount points. I don't know. If you can get a look aat both engines, that would be nice. If come hood clearance is need, that would be a nice look You will need a aftermarket computer to handle is engine good. There use the Mote48 and I agree with them. I personally do not see any problems except mounting the engine which can be handle. An upgraded fuel pump, fuel lines should do it. What you will need to do is to replace your suspension in addition to engine change which includes the Axles -------------------- West_Minist
