    Hi all, I am planning to swap my broken 4a-ge to a 2zz-ge. As I am from germany I need the TüV to certificate any changes I do. As the power increases by more then 40% (91kw to 141kw) I would need a certificate if the chassis is up the task (stiff enough) which would be way to expensive. As the...
  2. MKII, 90-99 NA & Turbo
    I want to eventually upgrade or swap my 5SFE and was reading the commonly asked forums. I want to ask if it is worth upgrading my 5SFE to a race build or just swapping to something like a 3SGE/3SGTE or a 2GR considering the time and money. It will be a weekend performance driver and I will be...

    I have an 86 mr2 and the only car friends I have are ones with an is300, a corvette, a civic, and, an ls400. I was wondering if anyone has any ideas that can help my car at least keep up with the is300. I get the appeal of the mr2 the beauty of the shape and features but sometimes it sucks being...

    Hello, I'm about to pull the trigger on an 85 MK1 MR2. It has the 4AGE. The body is in good condition but the engine smokes a lot. I've been told it needs a rebuild, but I can get it for a good price. I'm thinking to do an engine swap. I'm looking at having something with 200-250HP. I don't...

    Hey y'all, I was hoping to get some peace of mind before pulling the trigger on an engine purchase. So I have an 86' (supposedly a Mk1a; the last tranny in it was a C52 based off the chassis code in the 'frunk' and the body looks like a Mk1b but the interior is a Mk1a so Idk), it's only a shell...

    Hey guys, so I own an 86 AW11 A NA and I wanted to swap the engine for a more powerful 2L turbo. I thought about 3SGTE swapping it like a lot of people do but I'm having trouble finding any and even less with a manual transmission. Budget is tight so for me it was a pretty good option but it's...

    I am currently taking the engine from my recently junked 1996 tercel and heavily modifying it to handle high amounts of boost. I am using engine builds from UK and Austrailia as the basis for my engine construction. I will be keeping the C50 trans but replacing the bellhousing with a C141 in...
  13. General MR2 Discussion
    So I’m stuck and I can’t find any threads I’m probably just not looking hard enough, but I’m wondering if I should just pull my 4age out and build it up better or swap it out for something that will make a lot more power. And I’m not wanting to put a Honda engine in it, I want to keep it Toyota...

    So the MR2 was the very first car I ever owned and I fell in love with it immediately. Although I had to sell my prized SMG 95 turbo I still have my automatic. Although I hated the automatic aspect when I was younger getting older and dealing with traffic (DC/baltimore) I like the idea of...
