Can anybody give me the number of some shops/people that do this swap? Thanks and any idea on prices?

 

mr2Driver(mark) should post a reply soon. he did the swap not too long ago and just pulled a 13.02 at the track last 1320. and he is STILL on the stock NON-turbo exhaust with hardly no bolt-ons. fast ass car for sure. and he knows how to drive really REALLY well. the below pic is not marks car just the best damn mr2 i have ever seen!!!

 

Im about to get the swap done within the next week or so I cant wait! Make sure you either buy a rear clip of a mr2 or buy a motor with everything you need:wiring harness ecu axles etc. I second marks car that ish is fast! Look on www.xcars.com or www.mr2faq.com there are usually 3sgtes on there I bought mine from Xcars.

 

Basically I want to pull of a cheap nasty non turbo model. Use the rest of my cash to swap in a nice engine and work on the exterior/suspension. I only have 8000 to work with though. I need some names of some swap places so I can plan things out wisely.

 

Heh thanks for the compliments guys. Dont expect to pay any less than $1k for labor on a swap not legos like hondas here folks You are gonna have to do some penny pinching to make it happen with only $8k. I think with $10k you could pull it off and have a little money for suspension. Look for an old ass 91 with 8 million miles on it but just inspect it to make sure it was not abused or you will be paying for that in the future toyota parts are expensive. A 3SGTE swap will run you at the very least $2k +

 

Do you know of anybody locally that I could talk to about it? I need to contact some shops and such to get pricing.

 

Yeah its not too plug play. But its not too difficult. Emailmark if you need it done and then he will email me.

 

First I gotta figure out if I can do it. I have 8000 to work with. I might be able to squeeze a little more money out of stocks but I do need to cover my tuition. If I cant pull off the MR2 with swap I will try another car. There is a turbo one in Brandon right now for 6500. 90k miles but Id rather have a jspec swap with lower miles.

 

$6500 is a good deal and will cause you a lot less frustration. When you buy the already turboed MR2 you get bigger breaks possible ABS leather etc.

 

Mark I tried calling you tonight your phone is at the Court house... Go pick it up... 700 Twiggs.
