mr2 first gen engine swap question

[NROD17]

has anyone tried using the non supercharged bottom end with the super charged top - planning on using a large metal head gasket to help equal compression but still think its questionable. any ideas or imput
thanks

Use a Northstar V8 engine from a cadilac. That would make you move well...

The supercahrged Head theoretically would make less power . Unless you haev an AE101 Smallport GZE head .

If your usign a US spec GZE out of an MR2 why would you use a GZE head ? It has less lift and duration cams but is otherwise the EXACT same head .

Unless you have a smallport head , use the N/A Bluetop head ....

DO NOT USE THE N/A bottom end, it will work ,but not be as reliable as the GZE bottom end. toyota changed things for a reason.

n/a head and gze butt backed by a turbo from a dsm and you will have a car that is to fast for its own good :evil4: but thats my oppinion
