  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...

    Would anyone have the body harness diagrams for the 93 3sge and the gen2 3sgte. I'm swapping in a turbo engine and the body harness connectors are totally different and I'm trying to figure out what each cable does.
  5. 3SGTE Turbo
    Hi everyone! Recently acquired a 91 Na and most of a gen 2 3sgte. I'm about to start sourcing parts needed for rebuild or replacement. I was hoping for any advice or things to watch out for as well as provide progress on the project. My exhaust manifold looks like it blew a hole right through...

    Hey there .. Long time lurker. Found out that I need to be able to get back into the office soon so its time to finally get the swap running. Basically have the swap installed, wiring harness was done by Prime. The engine cranks, i can hear the fuel pump and do have fuel at the rail. Tested...

  9. Normally Aspirated
    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?
  10. Normally Aspirated
    A bit curious about swapping my 5s-fe with the 3s-ge beams. Not a plan as I have other things to sort out with my two for now but I would like to have this as a project once the winter passes. Has anyone else ever swapped a beams into their 5s? I’m assuming the stock trans will hold the power...

    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...

    Hello all, Are you bored at home in quarantine? Looking for a fun project? Simply looking for spare parts for your boosted 3s? Then boy do I have the opportunity you've been waiting for! I have a 3sgte motor sitting around from an old project that needs to be cleared out right away. It's been...

    Hello, I have a JDM 1990 SW20 Turbo. It has 113,000km's on it. I was wondering what would be a good swap. If I choose a 4 cylinder, I would want to turbo it and supercharge it. Possibly even twin turbo and supercharge it. (and yes, I know that would require built internals). I heard about that...

    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...
  15. 3SGTE Turbo
    I have a 91 MR2 that was an NA but has been swapped with a 4th Gen 3SGTE. I've done a fair amount of research but I just want to make sure I'm not missing anything that I might need to swap the S54 trans for an E153 trans. -E153 itself (the one I found has the factory LSD) -Full Turbo Axles...
  16. 3SGTE Turbo
    Hello everyone, I am thinking about a 3sgte swap either next year or in 2 years for my 28 birthday from ATS Racing. I have the option of these 3 swaps which is a gen 3, basic gen 4/5, or a premium gen4/5 swap. I live in California so I would have to tell them to remove the down pipe from the...

    Alright bois, the time has come. I used to be a member of mr2dotcom but that site got slow as heck so here I am. I own a 1991 MR2 NA with a 3VZFE swap, which blew up and is currently outside of the car (although already rebuilt). I plan on putting this engine back in and driving it for the time...

    This is a strange one: my 92 turbo track car has a gen 5 swap from about a year ago which has performed very well on track—up to this past weekend. We had very hot, humid weather (100 degrees, 70% humidity). The car ran fine for the first two morning sessions, then in the third 25-minutes...

    Hi everyone. Here is the issue I'm having and I'm sure someone has come across this before: I have a 1991 MR2 Turbo with a 4th generation 3sgte powertrain. I have the MR2 body harness, the MR2 ECU harness from the 2nd gen 3sgte, and the 4th gen 3sgte ECU harness. For the ECU harness, I am...
