Very nice car and great video. I also watch your Time Attack content 👍🏾.... Your video makes me miss both of my MR2’s (1zz ZZW30 with hardtop and V6 swapped SW21) .

You could go for the BEAMS 3SGE. As they are also 2 liters and make similar numbers to the K20A from the factory. Albeit they dont rev as high, but they also make just as much torque too. They go for 210ps (207 HP). Or if you still want the revs and essence of VTEC, try the 2ZZ w/ VVTL-i. Though you'll be at a small disadvantage becuase its displacement.

Good unbiased video! K20 is a brilliant lump. I used to own an EP3 Type R. The 2ZZ would be the route I'd choose for cost and simplicity of installation. My only thing with doing a K20 conversion is, for the same overall cost would I not be better off buying something like a Porsche Boxster S? Heavier I know but great car out of the box with a nice bit of power that's more than usable. An interesting one to see would be a 2ZZ with forced induction vs K20, both at similar power levels of course 😎

[@RolanTHUNDER]

I really like this build. This is in fact one of my desired future builds for all the reasons you mentioned in this video. I like the 2ZZ swapped MR2 but this K20A would trump the 2ZZ for me. I'd take this one step further and say I'd rather do a K24/20 hybrid swapped MR2 ;) K24 bottom end and K20 top end with the 50 degree VTC gear, oil pump and RBC (or is it PRB?) intake manifold swap. Tune it to 8 grand and hit that touge hard! Great review and driving impressions!

Id like you to come drive my ZZW30 with a 2arfe swap when i finish it

[@fvjhuynh]

I'm not sure how exactly it affects the weight balance of the car, but from scouting forums to looking at websites, the 2zz is about 300 pounds with the transmission, and most K20/24 applications are just over 400; with the 20A, A2, Z3 right around 405. As such, with generally 100 pounds bias towards the rear, I'd imagine you'd want to do corner balancing, which I'm sure people are already doing anyway when upgrading suspension and tires.

[@kuba1515]

There is no possibility that 2zz is 100 lbs lighter than k20. Both have aluminium construction. Max weight difference is about 40 lbs with gearbox

[@izzy031096]

@@kuba1515 Cast iron sleeves in the k20. It is 100lb difference, simple google search will tell you that

[@loganamurray64]

@@kuba1515 A 2ZZ on it’s own weighs 250lb, a K20A weighs 275lbs. With its transmission the K20A goes up to about 400lbs and the 2ZZ goes up to 310-350lbs depending on how much you think the C60 transmission weighs. So yeah, not quite 100lbs less but at best 90lbs, that ain’t a bad saving

my mr2 came with a 2zz. If I had to pay for a swap, I'd strongly consider the k swap. I'm still considering it, but I can't justify spending that kind of money when I'm unsure about whether or not there is a wheel to wheel class it can be competitive in. On a side note, do you feel you've spent enough time at the limit with that car on a track to comment on the balance of the kswap in relation to the 2zz swap?

Man this video is so awesome. I am amazed at the unbiased opinion that you have towards the k20 even tho you have put money and time to a 2zz. This reinforces my want to do a K20 Si or Type R swap on my Spyder once I reach 120k Miles (currently at 51k). I thinks the pros outweigh the price considering you can get a 50k miles certified engine from an importer and have a reliable and fast beast with plenty of availability of parts for years to come. keep the videos up. And if you can please do comparisons between your 2zz swapped Mr2 and the K20 one on the same track to see how they perform.

[@neuronaut8030]

I'm in the home stretch of a 2ZZ swap, engine built and ready to go in the car in the next few weeks. Spent a lot of time and money building the engine but if I had the money and the patience....yeah I would've gone K swap all day. I will be turboing the 2ZZ eventually but just from all the research I've done I'd say it'll never have the potential a k-series would without sleeving the block. So consider your goals, if you want say 400+ RELIABLE horsepower you may actually spend less money in the long run with the K20. If you want naturally aspirated HP and have the money, K20 swap. If you want 300-ish reliable horsepower (turbo obviously, no sleeves) then you can probably do it cheaper with the 2ZZ and be perfectly happy with blowing the doors off of any NA K series car out there, but there will be that one guy with the turbo K-swap who will blow your doors off but he'll have a few more grand invested than you and there's always someone faster so enjoy what you set out to build. I'm aiming for that 300-320HP sweet spot, not too crazy but more than I'll ever need so the 2ZZ made sense, and having a Toyota engine (or rather Yamaha engine) does appeal to the purist in me but like I said if I had the funds I would go K-series. Keep up the videos man, this was an honest objective review couldn't have done it better myself. Oh and I have a daily beater Honda Civic with 305K miles on it and it runs like a Swiss watch, Honda makes bulletproof engines period. But the MR-2 is my baby, nothing like it.

[@asiat30]

Engine + trans weight : 1zz-fe = 145 kg // 320 lbs 2zz-ge = 157 kg // 346 lbs K20A = 185 kg // 408 lbs From my "stripped" 1ZZ MR-S as reference (985 kg // 2172 lbs) : This K20A MR-S = ~1060 kg // 2337 lbs TougeTime's 2ZZ MRS = ~1020 kg //2249 lbs 40kg // 88lbs make noticeable difference. On touge or small track, bigger torque/power is not always the best. With K20A, you have to adjust the gaz pedal. When with a 2ZZ, you can go full throttle due to lack of torque//power. Maybe that's why Asano (TechnoPro Spirit) has tried MWR's 2ZZ 2L stroker engine. Dynoed at 220hp to wheels? So around 240hp on engine, this JDM I-VTEC K20A has tuned ECU. K20A is superior to 2ZZ-GE in all point. Easy power/tune, engine/trans reliability and lot of upgrade parts. For me, an MR-S with stock K20A has equal/superior acceleration than a 2ZZ-GE with PFC tune. Torque is the key.

Would love to compare it to my 2zz Stroker. 221whp yet to install my manifold. I've yet to drive a K Swapped Spyder.

Your always welcome to come drive mine

[@all_out_of_bubble_gum]

Which Transmission is used with the K-swap ?

[@beanvo9924]

What intake manifold was used?

[@p1fly]

Hi me and my friend are carrying out this k20 conversion shortly. In hindsight what would you have done differently or what would have changed if you would start over again?

[@andysky5]

Pls do a video on mr2 spyder with k24 swap....that's going to be epic 😎

[@Gabriel1309]

So good! It would be great to have some acceleration times - someone borrow him a vbox!

[@Pube83]

Gabriel Fisch It's gotta be super quick, 0-60 in under 4.5 and 0-100 in less than 10.

[@leeroymayn9024]

make a drag race video of your 2zz MR_S vs the K20 and i bet there not much difference in the pull from stand still to say 4th gear. also with a programmable ecu you can set when your lift comes in and when it taps out

[@asiat30]

This MR-S K20A swap (dynoed at 220whp) can (to me) do 1/4mile in low 12sec. Mitch Dore and Biatchkillar's MR-S archived 1/4mile in high 12sec with they fully build 2ZZ. 2ZZ swap has none chance against K20A swap. This is just a fact.

@@asiat30 stock k20 does a quarter mile in 13 + seconds not 12 ive seen plenty ep3 type r on a drag strip stock do those times but never a 12

[@asiat30]

This one is JDM DC5 K20A engine (215hp). K20A2 (US/EURO) produce 200hp. I agree, an MR-S with K20A2 stock ECU is in 13sec. But after good ECU tune, it's easily in 12sec.

[@andrasjuhasz7011]

@@leeroymayn9024 Lol, you are talking like the engines do the quarter mile by themselves. There is a car around them usually. A zzw30 is much lighter than an ep3 and also RWD, it's not surprising that it's faster.

[@leeroymayn9024]

@@andrasjuhasz7011 corolla t sport is the same weight as the ep3 type r and the corolla t sport do a better time stock. Remember ep3 type r is only 197 bhp standard not 220 you have to change out parts to make 220 the only k20a that makes 220 out the factory is from the FN2 type r.

But we re not counting out Toyota's 4bangers the most reliable engines on the face of the planet

[@frankthatank4818]

Thanks for confirming what I’ve thought about the 2ZZ and K20 options. I was questioning it a lil after the Techno Pro Spirit video. And the sound of the K20 is just way more pleasing too. So when are you gonna swap to a K20 lol
