I recently came across the Holley video on Jason Senseney's LS-swapped MR2 I mentioned late in the video! What a car.. Clean packaging, too. Which would you rather have? 3S-GTE, K-swap, 2GR V6, 4.2L V8, or a Tesla motor?

If the car came stock with a 3SGTE then I would stick with that for normal driving on roads. However if it had a 3SGT engine then I would consider a Toyota V6 swap like the 2GR to keep it in the family (currently researching swapping my NA model)

Currently my friend is building a 2.3 ATS stroker 5sgte with GS-900 turbo, etc for me. IF I had to start from scratch again I'd have a 2GR swap and later on pay ATS another 15 grand to turbo it and make 650whp. I'm excited to get the 2.3 though for sure.. no regrets.

If you're gonna swap, the Toyota V6 swaps are the ultimate way to do it. They sound insane, the engine is lighter than the 3S engines, and the character of the 3 and 3.5l Toyota V6's suit the MR2 absolutely perfectly, even more so than the stock engines!

If you're a U.K owner, you were blessed with the reliable, but weak sauce 3SFE. At least you got decent gas mileage if nothing else lol Not sure you can ruin these with engine swaps.

Unless you can get that Audi 4.2 in there transverse adapted to the E153, it is kind of pointless. Yes, the cylinder spacing is crazy tight owing to the fancy metallurgy in the silicon alloy block, BUT it pretty much rules out boring or rebuilding one of these blocks without some rare and expensive process. My 2000 A8 produced 310 h.p.. The S8 with cam and inlet changes made around 360. You are better off with the relatively cheap, available, reliable and brand correct 2GR and then the power adder of your choosing. The last thing you want to do is put more weight behind the rear wheels - less of an issue with a straight line drag car, but if you want to carve canyons - TRANSVERSE or bust.

My favorites are the 2GRFE turbo, Gen 4/5 3SGTE, or turbo 5SFE swaps. Even though I'm kind of a purist when it comes to doing engine swaps in an MR2 and prefer to keep them in the same family, K-Swaps are a fantastic option, and its modern design is superior to the 3SGTE in many ways.

11:53 100% false! Brake torque is a factor of effective radius of the brakes (along with clamping force and coefficient of friction). The effective radius is the radial centerline of the pad and thus a wider pad (radially speaking) for a given rotor size, the smaller the effective radius. All other things being equal, a narrower pad (again, radially) will generate more braking torque than a wider pad. For simple math, lets assume a 14" (355mm) brake rotor and in one setup, a 2" wide pad and in the other setup, a 4" wide pad. Remember, the effective radius is the radial centerline of the pad, so for the 2" wide pad, the effective radius is 6" (2/2 = 1, 14/2= 7 and thus 7-1=6) now for the 4" wide pad, it's 4/2 = 2 and the same 14/2 = 7 but now its 7-2 = 5" (i.e., a smaller effective radius and therefore, less brake torque for the same clamp force and same coefficient of friction. This is why doing like what Marty did (bigger rotor with stock calipers) does give more brake torque (more braking power) and is also better at heat management (not that a wider pad has any appreciable effect on heat management. 14:10 I don't think this one is the first. There was a guy (named Mike too) in Florida who completed basically the same thing on a White car back in like 07 or 08.

@@RoadsUntraveled Moving the same pad contact patch out from the hub centre is much the same as increasing torque by getting a longer lever on a fulcrum point. The biggest proportion of improved braking with larger discs is actually moving the contact patch out from the hub centre, followed by the increased contact patch, and then finally cooling. Yes, it's a bit of a waste not to have increased the contact patch too, but he's made the best of the largest improvement possible with the brakes he's running.

Why the hell would anyone go through the ridiculous effort of the Audi 4.2 swap when the 3.5liter 2gr fe is reliably getting 340hp and a nice fat torque curve? It just doesn't make sense. If there was a noticeably big difference in power, I'd understand, but there isn't.

@@RoadsUntraveled yeah it's a pretty sick choice when done right. There was a guy years ago on one of the forums (either celica or mr2) who was running one at 400+. A lot of folks complain that it's mostly a custom build, but it definitely delivers.

See I like the Tesla idea but I think it needs to be taken a step further. Why are we trying to replace the motor with a Tesla motor? What we should be doing is cutting out the frunk, making mounts, and putting the Tesla in front, and having it drive the front wheels while the motor drives the back wheels.

I would KLZE swap an SW20. That's a Mazda 2.5l v6. It's possible, maybe, maybe soon to buy a kit to use the MR2s transmission. The reason for that is usually the other way around to get a better trans behind the engine. 7500 rpm v6 with no weight penalty over a 4cyl. It likes to sing, it's not crazy power, but can be turboed. I just don't like 4 cyl. engine sound, EVEN the 4AGE which I had. The engine itself can last a long time, so it's not like a loss there either. Also it had a variable intake which is reminiscent of the MK1's T-VIS, (but not, and an entirely different setup.) No one ever thinks Mazda for swaps, except that weirdo Rob Dahm :-D

Why would you not go the cheaper, more reliable, and more powerful 2gr? All of the same benefits, and far easier with more aftermarket potential

@@izzy031096 The biggest limitation to the KL, is the single transmission that bolts right up to it. Reliability? The distributor. Which if you go coil on plug or just distributorless ignition isn't an issue. The 98+ 626 has the distributorless parts. Rods? Millenia S. I've never heard a Toyota engine sound as good as a KL, or a VR6, or a Busso. For me, it would be fun. People asking what you're asking should go with the Toyota or the K swap or the LS.
