Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 сер 2024
- This is a little run down and short drive in my 1991 MR2. I just recently got the car back on the road and have been super excited about it. I watch a lot of MR2 based videos on youtube so I figured I would try to contribute.
Build List:
1991 Mr2 Turbo
93+ Turbo brakes
EBC yellowstuff front pads
Fortune Auto 500 coils (6kF 8kR)
Urethane suspension bushings
93+ Rear subframe
2007 2gr-fe
Frankenstein headers
Wilhelm Y pipe w/ cat
Berk muffler
TRD short shifter
Spherical shifter bushings
94 black interior
Cobb shift knob (it fit from my old car)
I'm happy to see the car is running well and thank you for all the kind words!
I dont mean to be off topic but does someone know of a tool to log back into an Instagram account??
I stupidly forgot the login password. I would appreciate any tips you can offer me!
@Axton Sutton instablaster =)
The sound is amazing.
It sounds fantastic. I’d love to do a 2GR swap in my 1999 Rev 5, but 💰💰💰
Really nice car mate. I'm still enjoying 3sgte life but there is no denying the appeal of the 2gr or any v6 for that matter. Enjoy and keep em coming!
Yeah I love turbos, just after two cars, and two turbo motor issues, this seemed like the better route for my personal use. I would probably want a gen4 if I got another one as a daily driver
am i understanding right that you like the 2gr over the gen3, but that a gen4 may be/have been preferred over the 2gr?
seeking clarification because i’m on the fence of swapping my gen2 for a gen4 or 2gr.
thanks for the video! really enjoyed it
@@kbatch80 I love the kick in the pants you get from turbos, it feels faster as the power delivery is more abrupt, that being said I think my gen3 was making similar power to a stock gen4 and the 2gr is faster around the track. I did this swap for more track focused relaibility, but have really enjoyed it around town too. its very peppy and the sound is addictive. I was getting annoyed with the lack of parts availability too so the 2gr being current and super popular makes it easy to get parts and they will be popping up all over junkyards if I need to get another. It comes down to you, both are great options for different reasons
The sound is just sublime.
This! This is what I want! Just need to convince my friend’s dad to sell me his MR2 🥲 beautiful build!
thanks!
You have a good taste in roads. That one is my favorite as well. I recognized it on the first corner.
Yup.... Once again.... I finished in the first 3 seconds..... New record.... Thanks Dave ...... Thanks......
This seems like the way to go but a 2gr swap sounds pretty daunting to me.
its really not that bad. im not a wiring guy which is the hardest part so I got someone to wire it for me. luckily there is a good guy that offers this service. otherwise its mostly common sense and a few special tools
Beautiful car mate. I have a nice original white jdm 93 turbo tin top. Lov the v6 . Not really available in Ireland
1 dislike really?... Nice SW20 congrats!
I have my 94 turbo at ATS right now.. Looking forward to having my 2gr swapped MR2!! That's an awesome car.
Wow, I can't believe the sound that makes
me either! lol
Torque on tap and toyota reliability. Awesome build.
Thanks Jamar I hope you are well!
7:41 drooling!
Thanks for posting about your car. It does sound great.
Holy crap...:sounds amazing! Your build is almost exactly like mine and I am almost done putting mine together. You’re video will push me to get it done faster!
nice car man! makes me really miss my 91 turbo :(
sort the tach gauge out :D but otherwise it's a lovely build!
I am in Utah and doing the same swap. Great looking MR2 :).
let me know if you need a hand or have any questions
All Things Fast who did you wire harness? Send me the contact info please
@@allthingsfast2375 me too

@@Gigaruss you too what?
Love this. I’ve got a 93 Turbo that I expect to be doing this conversion on shorty. I’d be interested to hear more on the ins and outs, and any advice.
I notice you still have the Cruise Control stalk fitted on you steering wheel. Is it functional with the conversion? What about your aircon??
As previously said, please post more video content on the car.
Thanks
I never use AC so I just removed it, I mean the roof comes off so no need... it is possible to get the cruise control working, its all electronic at this point so you would just need to run some wires and what not. I know there are semi detailed posts out there on the forums about how to do this. I haven't done it. Obviously this car isn't "done" and perfect, its my project
WOW seriously thanks you for your video. I own a 1991 mr2 turbo gen3 white with rpf1. Your car is soo clean ! and you have good taste to conserve all oem looks ! your car is awesome defenetly my mr2 goal ! and 2gr is best engine to put in this car in my opinion. But my only question is it hard to work on it ? Ive heard some people says that, except for an oil change, you have to drop the engine to work on it. Thanks again for sharing your awesome machine ! From a Quebec Canada !
pretty much you will have to drop it to do any major work. I re-sealed everything before I installed so I wouldn't have to do it for a while. you will be able to remove the exhaust stuff although it will be kind of annoying to do the headers. you can remove all the intake stuff down to the injectors easily too. Stoked that you like it, I certainly love the setup and am glad I moved this direction with it. I may try to find some second hand bumpers to do some aero mods for time attack, but I haven't figured that out yet, I don't want to cut up the stuff I have since its all pretty decent.
Wow that black interior is rare
its in my red car now. check out the video I just did of that in the last few weeks!
Clean!
Lloooovvveeee the mmmmrrr2222
Im new to Utah and just bought my first 91 MR2 Turbo. I want to 2GR it. Any advice on local mechanics in the area?
Legit sounds like a vintage LeMans car
Where did you order the o2 sensor extention ?! I keep searching for one but can't find one that fits Toyota please drop the link so I ordered it asap
Hey mate what transmission are you running on this? Sorry if u mentioned it in the video couldn't catch it.
the mr2 e153
Man, I need to know where you got that sweet shift knob from!
It’s a Cobb shift knob I took off a fiesta st
is this still rwd
of course, engine is still in the middle too
So I'm curious, what's the MPG like compared to the original Turbo engine? Did it get any better, stay the same?
I haven't done any hand calculating before, nor after, but I do notice gas lasting longer. I'm usually beating on it and not cruising so this is mostly noticed during wide open throttle. The swap is supposed to be more powerful, more reliable, and better fuel economy. It's seeming to be working out that way from what I can tell in the early stages.
Somebody's always gotta ask about mpg in every video! So rediculous! It's the dumbest thing to ask about a high performance vehicle... It's like asking John Force if his mustang will void the factory warranty with the modifications he's made?
@@brentiaconelli6484 eh im building one right now and was actually curious myself
Just for the sound alone it's worth the trouble 😂
this statement is accurate lol
what year is this rav4 engine ?
2007
Could you tell me more about the stuck clutch? I seem to have the same problem. How does it happen? I assume the solution is to take the trans out and pull the clutch off the flywheel, but how I'm worried about the problem coming back.
it was because I didn't remove the green coating, I didn't realize it was a coating, there were no instructions on my flywheel. iu had to remove the trans, unstick the disc with my hand, clean and reinstall
which urethane suspension bushings did you use? And where you concerned about the possible rear bind at all?

I want an MR2....
DO IT
綺麗ですね〜👍😅
What tranny are you running? Stock E153? LSD equipped?
Yea just factory e153 with lsd
Nice car, currently have a 93 with a Rev 3 swap and am considering pulling it to do this. Similar reasons, worry about reliability/parts/usable power. Currently running about 18psi on stock ECU, and really don’t want to deal with standalone. Any regrets pulling the turbo for the 6? Faster or slower than the turbo? The sound is awesome, really pulling me towards this swap.
if you aren't having any problems yet I'd keep running it as is. idk if the turbo will handle 18psi all day at the track tho. I think that ceramic wheel likes to say bye bye. 15psi would be safer. no ragerts, the car is faster now and less shit to deal with.
@@allthingsfast2375 yeah, if I don’t do the 6 swap I’m gonna upgrade the turbo, still keeping the 18psi stock fuel cut, but should get 320/330 whp, so more power than 6, but not the fat powerband. Tough choice.
@@jrmotorsports5532 the source of most of my problems and headaches was an aftermarket turbo with a turbo adapter on the stock manifold. gaskets always blew out, bolts would break or loosen, it was super frustrating. would melt the lines and what not
@@allthingsfast2375 ugh, can you say what turbo it was? I’ve been talking to ATS and KO trying to gather info.
@@jrmotorsports5532 I bought it that way so idk what adapter and stuff it was. the turbo itself was great, just keeping it together was a pain. it was a garret gtx2863r. its was fine daily driving and stuff, but the ridiculous heat at the track caused issues
Hey boss! what product did you use in order to paint your interior from blue to black?
it wasn't painted, it was swapped out to a black 94 interior
Can you send me the info the person who did the wiring?
Doug copeland at wire-gap. just look up on google. Paul woods from woodsport can get you squared away also
Hi Mate
What size and offset are your wheels?
Thanks bud
+35 on both
How much hp Bro???
in this video it was 265 but has Dyno'd 280 more recently. its just a stock motor with a mild tune
Hey you wouldn't be looking to sell this would you? Im dying for a 2GR swapped mr2
not really, its really fun to drive =) The swap wasn't hard. find a turbo with a blown engine, that's the perfect bang for the buck starting point
How the snap over steer worst or less of it?
I have found the common view of snap oversteer to be more related to alightment and suspension settings than anything. stock alignment tends to understeer then oversteer suddenly. changing these specs can make the car steer appropriately then enter oversteer in a way you can predict, which is much easier to drive
FastassFaircloth thanks never heard of this. I'll look into this also
@@rolldog82 that was from my personal experience at least. I run 0 toe front and 1/2 factory toe at the rear
how much would you say this swap is? i’m going to need a shop do the work. i was thinking of gen 4 swapping but i’d prefer having a newer motor and not deal with the turbo
most people are quoted 10-15k to have a shop do the work plus parts. I did it myself on the super cheap and it cost me 4-5k I don't remember exactly
@@allthingsfast2375 oh shoot so 10-15 plus parts ball park almost 20 that’s nuts! wish I had the know how and space. I guess gen 4 swap would be my cheap route
@@Mister2_ sorry I said that kinda weird, parts were included in that ballpark
@@allthingsfast2375 oh alright gotcha no worries! having driven it with a gen 3 do you prefer the way this delivers power? i assume its easier to manage than a turbo motor with it’s turbo lag during mid corner
@@Mister2_ I had a gen 3 before. this is faster and sounds cooler. I also found out my engine is down power for a reason I haven't figured out yet, and its still faster than my gen3. I also had turbo gasket issues with my old setup, I haven't had any engine issues since doing this swap. pretty happy with the decision!
love the car bro i have a Kswapped mr2 that looks like shit!
First to comment!
Cheeky bad
