i am wondering if it would be a good idea to get an n/a mr2 and do a 3sgte swap in it (with brakes)? if i had all the needed components except the trans would the 3sgte engine match up with the n/a trans? also, would the motor be a drop in replacement or need fab work such as motor mounts and would the n/a fuel pump be able to supply the 3sgte with enough fuel. any other coments would be apreciated.

 

with brakes????, the 5sfe will supposedly work but really not a good idea, wont last long, nothing really needs to be modified its a straight forward drop, you will definatly want a turbo fuel pump or a walpro

 

the turbo has a pair of upgraded twin piston calipers thet are better than the n/a's. the n/a are manageable but not preferable (or so ive read). thanks

 

well the 91-92s the rear brakes were the same n/a or turbo (i think)the fronts: the n/a are single piston and turbos are dual piston
try www.mr2board.com lots of good info.

 

https://www.tamparacing.com/forums/t...-swap-mr2.html you will need the chassis wiring harness,shift cables,rear hubs,tranny,axles,fuel pump,engine,exhaust and ecu from a turbo car.From there it's a matter of moving,bolting and plugging everything in.The turbo brakes are better but not necessary....although recommended.

 

i think you can use the tranny if you use a clutch disk from the 2.2 set.also...not recommended...the turbo trannies are generally wore out with milage and the 2.2 tranny is weaker still.

 

should i worry about getting one with an lsd or install an aftermarket one? I mean, will the lsd be thrashed of do they hold up well over time

 

i'd try to find an lsd tranny...the reason is price...you should be able to find one for $600 or so but it's gonna cost around $400 + shipping for the lsd by itself(ebay)

 

around how much does a jdm 3sgte rear clip go for? it seems like the way to go instead of looking for all the needed components. i know at a toyota dealership the harnesses themselves can go for up to 2,000.00 (so ive read)
