LOOKING AT GETTIN A MR2, WOULD IT BE WORTH IT Options

[monkey]

OK,

YES I KNOW THIS ISNT A 6GC BUT I THOUGHT ID ASK....
TO START OFF, MOST OF YALL KNOW MY CAR IS TOTALLED AND I HAVE BEEN SEARCHING FOR CELICAS IN THE AREA THAT I CAN BUY, BUT HTE MORE I LOOK INTO IT, I WOULD RATHER HAVE AN MR2...

So the coice for the engine is the 5sgte... mainly becaues its bigger displacement and the walls are thicker, coolant passages are routed differently but still join up, thicker passages and no weak spot between cyl head 2 and 3.... this means i can boost high, run nitrous and race gas without much worry of cracking the block!
yay!

91 - 92 Mr2 n/a usually goes for 2.5 - 3.5 depending on the condition. 93+ has a better suspension set up and lil changes in the interior but you wouldn't really notice much. They go around 3.5 - 4.5 for n/a. The 91-92 models usually go for 4.5 - 5.5 and 93+ turbo models go about 4.5 +. IMO I would just buy a n/a model since gas prices isn't that great at the moment OR... you can have me do a v6 swap for you and get great gas mileage, more power, and be as fast as a turbo model. . But yea hope this answers your question.

Wiring isn't difficult on a mr2, not much of a difference except for the body harness. You can build power from the 5s but please invest good money into tuning it right.

Here is a thread for 5sgte
