  1. 3SGTE Turbo
    Been scratching my head about coolant being pushed out of my filler neck cap almost intermittently for the longest time. Finally decided to observe the coolant with the car running and see it foaming and bubbling like crazy (video of it in the imgur link that I've provided, no sound but when you...
  2. 3SGTE Turbo
    I currently have this code being thrown by my Gen 4 3SGTE a/t ecu and I just wanted some clarification. This code is for the sensor on the intake manifold and not the intake pipe right? Because my swap doesnt run a sensor in the air intake pipe off from the turbo and I was wondering if the code...

    I believe it's to the crank position sensor but I just want to confirm, anyone know for sure?
  4. MKII, 90-99 NA & Turbo
    Hi all, title pretty much explains the entire post. I have a fresh gen 4 with forged internals running a 51mm precision turbo on stock ecu. Initially I was having trouble controlling boost, the very first time I spiked all the way up to 25.8psi. So I slowly eliminated/fixed things one by one in...

    My 91 3sgte mr2 had 0 compression in two cylinders after I bought it and since then I’ve checked the timing marks hoping it just skipped a tooth but they are all lined up. Just debating on swapping a gen 4 into it. This is my first project car so I’m not very mechanically inclined so I would...
  6. 3SGTE Turbo
    I pulled the engine out after having bad timing due to me, now the timing is perfect but now it wont even try to start. It's got fuel and spark and my compression was 140 with the timing being totally off. Is there a common reason this happens? Vacuum lines or something? My guess is 2 little...
  7. 3SGTE Turbo
    Finally got my gen 4 to my garage, started tearing it apart to fit the 5sfe bracketry onto the new motor. After a couple minutes looking around the engine I noticed there were a couple exhaust manifold nuts and bolts not there. So I take the exhaust manifold off to see why, got it off and found...

    Hi all, I'm nearing completion of the gen 4 3sgte swap on my '91 N/A MR2 LHD, but I got a few things holding me back. First, there's a hardline that comes off the wastegate actuator and heads toward the back of the car but I don't know where I need to connect it to. I'm gonna be using the...

  10. MKII, 90-99 NA & Turbo
    Hey guys, i need your help, i'm totally noob. I recently did a Gen4 swap in my MR2. Took it home today with all wiring done, I did at least 118mph on my way home. It was fine until a mechanic (the one who did the swap) in his garage put a temporary air filter in just few minutes before i get...

    Hello everyone! I have owned a 1993 MR2 since 2007. I am the third owner, but the second owner only had it for 1 year and drove it once because he was a truck driver. So it sat in his garage. I'm all about rare and high quality parts. No knock offs or cheap stuff! I say do it right the first...

    So I recently trashed a Gen 2 3sgte. It's a bit of an emergency situation (need the car back up and running), and I have a friend that can supply me with a Gen 4 short block. It is complete except for the oil pan and head... My gen 2 head works perfectly well, has ported intake/exhaust ports...
