Engine Swapped MR2 (Change of plans... K24/ 2GR V6)

[@kc510]

This is some impressive stuff. Thanks for putting it out there.

[@scantronsgarage]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching : )

[@danman2001]

Love these videos. Swaps are always interesting to follow. Thanks, man!

[@scantronsgarage]

Glad you liked it!! Thank you for watching

[@beanvo9924]

I want one 2gr to boxster adapter. Looks so good. Man you rock!

[@scantronsgarage]

Yes!!! Thank you @beanvo9924!!

[@markgowers5713]

Fantastic Engineering as always.

[@scantronsgarage]

Thank you! the adapter plate took some extra time and thought

[@iluvcakes19]

Awesome video, I'm glad i stumbled across it! I'm super interested in your work and swaps in general despite having no experience. I considering putting a LSJ Ecotec engine in my Spyder. What are your overall thoughts on that and how feasible do you think it would be?

[@scantronsgarage]

Good idea actually. It should fit in its original FWD configuration and just require some fabricated engine mounts. That should also put out a good deal of power over the ZZ. I say go for it!!

[@iluvcakes19]

@@scantronsgarage I would love to but have no idea what I'm doing. Wiring seems like a huge headache too.

[@scantronsgarage]

@@iluvcakes19 ahh i see. There is only one way to learn. I have been working on my v8 swap for 8 years. I did just get is started though!!!

[@iluvcakes19]

@@scantronsgarage I don't think I can stand having my car out of commission for 8 years, lol 😅

[@scantronsgarage]

@@iluvcakes19 I get it. I wanted to do this to my car 20 years ago but it was my daily driver. In time you can do this

[@discontinuuity]

At this point it might be easier to build a Boxter. But easy isn't always good.

[@scantronsgarage]

This was much more of a basic process compared to my v8 swapped mr2

[@mario_sw20]

i’m k swapping my sw20 😃👍. great video btw🤝🤝

[@scantronsgarage]

looks awesome and pretty far along i see. Thanks

[@g-mech1244]

Great video. I hope that wobbly center wasn't the final assembly? (when you were cranking it over)

[@scantronsgarage]

yes i saw that too. that center piece is a press fit and i just popped it in for testing purposes.

[@MR_71_BLACKBIRD]

How much did that pipe bender set you back? I have to fab a cage for my spyder. What metal did you use? Docol r8? Nice swap! I'm doing 2gr/eb60

[@scantronsgarage]

Sounds awesome! I did a video on the bender and a full video on the roll cage. cost me just over 1k though kzbin.info/www/bejne/np2nqniAi7WNeq8

[@NINJA-yh9md]

So the fuel tank is relocated and the whole back area behind the driver is made into the engine compartment?

[@scantronsgarage]

yes!! I have made a v8 version of this as well 🤩

[@red96fb]

Are you going to do an update video on your build soon?

[@scantronsgarage]

yes. my videos come out late. I'm working on one now. Should be out next month.

[@MrTurbotyla]

do you sell the measurements or adapters?

[@scantronsgarage]

I do not unfortunately but of you use two pieces of 3/16 plate with the 22 mm spacer between them you will get the spacing right

[@MrTurbotyla]

And then the flywheel you used was originally for the k24?

[@scantronsgarage]

@@MrTurbotyla I had a toyota truck flywheel machined down to fit the part I call the "Crown". This part is purchased through Kennedy Engineering Products K.E.P. This piece is made to work with the Porsche transaxle. The reason I mentioned K24 is because I originally had the K24 mated to the porsche transaxle and decided later to go to the 2GR. I used the crown from that kit and made it work with the 2gr to Porsche transaxle. I can tell you this crown is the same. I bought another kit from K.E.P for my v8 to porsche and it included the same crown. Hope this helps!

I've been warned about the Harbor Freight press plates, so I'm passing along the warning. Check out the press plates that SWAG Off-road sells.

[@scantronsgarage]

Thanks! I heard that as well. I will check that out

[@ResidentPhysco]

The engine plate video in the description is private btw

[@scantronsgarage]

Thx! I didnt think anyone actually clicked on those. The video will be public this week as soon as I update all the required info for youtube

[@SimonTrent8000]

2arfe, there is a guy so far putting down over 300 wheel hp NA

[@scantronsgarage]

I saw that. Frankenstein motorworks. I like his work with that motor. Either way, I would have had to do a ton of work to make that engine fit this transaxle as well.

[@211rocketman211]

the 2gr bolts upto the e153 and fits transverse. This seems a lot more difficult to install. Why did you shy away from the transverse mount?

[@scantronsgarage]

I like to think outside the box. moving the weight to the center of the vehicle makes for better handling. I did the same thing with my v8 mr2. Mostly, I enjoy the metal fabrication aspect of car building.

[@truckingjamaicans5045]

2gr is far better far NA build f the 24 n gr can handle 800 whp easily

[@scantronsgarage]

Oh yes! I agree with that
