How to REMOVE a Toyota MR2 ENGINE in 4 HOURS! MCM Inspired!

[@MuffinMan0521]

That cable in the engine fuse box that you’re telling everyone to yank up... you’re doing it wrong. Remove the bottom cover and squeeze (both sides)at the bottom of the plastic around that cable and it will effortlessly slide off.

[@RexH]

Thanks for this comment! I'll pin it and hopefully people see it :)

[@kamilustupski2247]

You may be right, but Bob Pham who owns like 50 MR2s and is litterly the god of SW20s yanks on it so theres nothing wrong with yanking 😂😂

[@RexH]

Here's a rough list of what to do! 1) Disable anti-theft and airbags 2) Remove hood, side panels, under covers 3) Drain coolant,engine oil,trans 4) disconnect throttle and cc cable 5) Disconnect brake booster hose and ground straps 6) “Remove check connector and vacuum sensor, then A/C VSV” 7) Remove water fill tube and charcoal canister 8) Remove relay box, ignition coil/igniter. Disconnect engine wire. 9) Disconnect engine wire from trunk, then starter cable. 10) disconnects coolant inlet and outlet hose, disconnect fuel inlet and return line 11a) M/T only: Disconnect shift cables 11b) A/T only: disconnect oil cooler lines 12) remove front exhaust pipe (part located between the header and muffler) 13) remove drive axles 14) remove idler pulley and A/C compressor (do not disconnect hoses) 15) disconnect speedo cable 16) remove rear engine mounting insulator, then the front (rear must be removed first) 17a) M/T only: remove front engine mount bracket and release clutch cylinder 17b) A/T only: disconnect shift linkage 18) Remove rear engine mount bracket and left engine mount stay 18a) M/T only: after removing left stay, remove lateral control rod 19) remove air box bracket 20) support engine from above by engine hangers 21) remove remaining engine mounts and brackets left to right 22) remove engine/transaxle assembly

Rex H too bad this video didn’t come out a few weeks sooner i’m having to replace the 5sfe in my mr2 would’ve definitely come in handy especially sense it’s the first car i’ve worked on, but keep up the good work there needs to be more videos out there on how to do maintenance on mr2s

[@matt_brears1982]

literally is a perfect rex h version of mcm. good work

[@RexH]

This means a lot! Cheers my dude

[@Ottoman-bb7yf]

Glad to see the quality of content improving, thought I was watching mighty car mods for a sec.

[@RexH]

Thanks my dude :))

[@gregoryellis4366]

Not long now until I'll start my engine swap 😃 I gotta do this twice haha, Defs be watching this over and over again 👍🏻

[@dxhunter5277]

Cool works! I have a question about replacing the timing belt do you need special tools to do the job yourself?

[@germanmedrano872]

Is this guys sweater the carpet I had when I was a kid lol

[@djbmr2]

Good work. I did it the hard way with the engine still in the car. I would suggest changing the idler pulleys on the car as well as the water pump.

[@jacklyons2557]

That look between you at 6:11 is priceless. "Ah, Lachlan, what's the torque specification for axle nuts?" "No prob, we didn't even need the breaker bar!"

[@Tanked66]

keep this stuff coming, i just got a 1991 MR2 so im counting on you. Would it be possible for you to list some of the obscure tools you ended up needing, if any?

[@daniel_raju]

Damn Marty and Moog look a bit different 😂😂😂

[@RexH]

Marty has Hair again 😂😍

[@mrkazman]

Nice stuff! I'm going to be checking/resetting the timing on my cams soon... I'll let you know how that goes with the the engine in.

MCM Inspired format done well Rex :)

[@AnthonyJordanWairoaboyNZ]

Aww come on bro!!!! Gotta do the engine reinstall 👍🤣 you guys are legends Maybe consider replacing some of the awkward bits like oil pump o rings, manifold gaskets and clean the fuel injectors whilst manifold is off...manually cleaning fuel injectors is essential

[@carlosgroes8573]

You got a video on how you lift the back of the MR2 so you can slide out the engine from underneath the mr2?

[@mtang65]

I did my timing belt and oil pump seal in without dropping the engine. 3sgte.

[@phoenixmistertwo8815]

Commendable. I can do an Mr2 2nd gen in a weekend, that is, unless I come across stripped bolts at the fire wall. The Aw11, however, I can do easily in a Saturday.

[@twrcrew8852]

@11:34 "Gay guys! Enough mucking round we're gonna get back!"

[@nutheenderman806]

ive got a question ive got an mr2 that needs a new clutch how hard is it to get the trans out?

[@Chasing80sToys]

Well done 👍👍👍 can't wait for more video's on the yellow mr2. Is your butler going to keep the big spoiler? Or is that a spoiler🥁

[@charleymac]

straight mcm vibes great vid rex

[@travis737]

How much different is this process with the 3SGTE engine?

[@calsingfield3450]

Did the video of the engine going back in ever get made?

[@gutterrashautomotive3361]

What an effort! Awesome vid my mans

[@gutterrashautomotive3361]

(so glad i didn't need to remove my entire engine for a timing belt though haha)

[@MmmMmm-vc8jz]

Did the butler swallow after blowing the coolant?

[@CloudSpirals]

Great work, great video guys!

[@carlosgroes8573]

Awesome video!

[@thewilliamss2392]

Fantastic vid Mr

[@joshhambleton90]

what wing is that

[@Toirneachta]

Do the timing belt video too!!

[@p2skater1]

Dash and gauge cluster disassembly guide pls :)

[@travistuck4660]

I recently replaced oil pump gasket, valve cover gasket and oil pan gasket. Mark the timing best I could but in replacement I got it 1 tooth off. Timing is retarded by one tooth.. figure it would be simpler and more accurate to take the motor out and get it right the first time.. and love somebody else has a easy quick fix for this. If not that is my next step. My engine removal.

[@2grmr2]
