  1. V6 MR2 Forum
    Someone asked me this question: This is my response, with some notes added to the original, for anyone else considering a 2GR swap. I've done the timing cover job a few times. It is not so bad with the engine out of the car on an engine stand - but it is very tedious because you must also...

    Hello everyone. I bought this MR2 with the swap done before I owned it. I've owned the car about two years now and within the past year it's started to have a weird bogging issue while driving. When giving the car more than about half throttle under load it will essentially act like you are...

    Hello all! Currently attempting my first rebuild after weeks of intense googling and BGB referencing and I hoped to gain some input on my future plans for the 2. Forgive me if some of these questions sound embarrassingly novice. There's so much content online but a lot of it is very old or...

  6. MKI MR2 Parts Wanted To Buy Or Trade
    Hello all, My poor daily MR2 was hit by a drunk driver while parked in the middle of the night and, after dealing with his insurance company for almost two years, I have finally been able to use the wreck to restore the shell I have been saving. After making sure the engine still turned over I...
  7. MKII, 90-99 NA & Turbo
    Hi guys, I have a 91 na mr2 with a rev 3 3sge engine, recently I've been having some issues. Whenever I am in 4th at 30 mph for example, and lift off the throttle I will get some juddering maybe 3 or 4 lurches and then it will go return to smooth driving, I never get any juddering whilst on the...
  8. MKII, 90-99 NA & Turbo
    I fully rebuilded my engine. I changed the rods, cilinders, valve springs and I let a machine shop do my head and valves. After I now all installed it, its making a ticking noise thats coming from around the left side of the engine. I never heard this ticking noise before the rebuild. It sound...

    Ok so just did a compression test on my 86 mr2 and all 4 cylinders are low on compression, while 3 of the cylinders are above the minimum 128psi one cylinder is below and they aren't with 14psi of eachother as the Haynes manual recommends. Adding oil while doing the compression test adds some...

    Got a second hand Gen3 head with injectors, rail etc. Is it a straight swap i know the timming set up is different as i have a spring type tensioner and the newer head is hydraulic type but other than this would it be a straight swap?
  12. 3SGTE Turbo
    Hi fellow owners I'm in a little bind and need your assistance. Long story short I haven't driven my mr2 turbo rev 3 in a while and the battery cut out as I tried to start her up. Jumped the car and all electrics work apart from the imboliser red light. Car central locking still works etc...

    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...
  14. General MK1 - FAQ
    My engine is loping significantly at idle. I really cant describe what's going on well in writing, but I'll attach a video (link below) so that you can see (mainly hear) what I'm talking about. Any help in diagnosing issue is welcome. Note: I'm aware of the vacuum line being disconnected from...

    Hi everyone, this is my first post here. I've picked up a 1992 Rev2 with a 3sge and I was doing a bit of investigation and it doesn't seem to have an o2 sensor anywhere. The downpipe needs replacing and I can't find one without an o2 port (like the one that is currently on the car). There are...

    I let my brother test drive it one time and he blew out third gear. So I did the right thing, and pulled the entire engine and replaced the transmission with a C52. Upon reassembly, I cannot get the car to start. Initially the grounding was bad due to a cut ground wire. Checked spark, timing...

    Hi, I have a 1991 MR2 that was originally NA but was engine swapped by the previous owner. I bought it when I didn't know what I should have been asking about so I have no idea if the clutch or transmission was changed with the engine, and sadly no longer have the seller's contact information...
  19. MKI, 84-89 NA & SC
    Hi guys, I'm considering doing a MK1.5 build, and wondering what I might be able to get if I sell my current engine, which is a 20V blacktop, that I had rebuilt by a shop. It only has 40,000kms on it since the rebuild, summer driven only, stored in heated garage in the winters. Can anyone guess...
  20. Tri-State MOC
    I am reaching out to the Tri-State local MR2 crowd to see if anyone is interested in a completely disassembled 5sfe? It was the original engine to my 91 that had a bad bearing. I pulled the engine and swapped in a lower mileage 5sfe and have been driving it ever since. It had roughly 105k...
