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. |

well, you'll have to do some custom work on the engine mounts and transmission mounts. that's your really big hurdle. and the wiring will be a nightmare, you'll have to take all the wiring out of your car, put the V6 wiring in, and probably do some miracles to get it to work.
