  • SWAPTIONS.... So many different engines to choose from!
    So... there was a change of plans...
    The K24 motor with the Porsche transaxle will be the secondary drivetrain option for this vehicle.
    (we will have this car running with both drivetrain setups)
    2GR V6 swap.. I always wanted to put this in this vehicle but wanted it to be mounted traditionally and not in the FWD configuration. In the past I had to limit my engine swap options to what adapter plate options were available. The K24 and the LS swapped MR2 both used a custom purchased engine adapter kit.
    To make this drivetrain option work, I had to design and build my own engine adapter plate:

    • DIY Engine Adapter Pla...
    Now that the fabrication work for this MR2 has been completed for both engines, we can move on to getting it running with both engines.

    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
      @scantronsgarage  10 місяців тому

      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!!

    @apricity69 Рік тому +3

    What’s the point of the build? Is the owner going to do A/B testing between NA K/ NA 2GR then turbo K/ turbo 2GR?
    Longitudinal with a Porsche transaxle is cool, but is there an advantage for all that extra effort?
    Don’t get me wrong, I’m a long time fan of your channel and it’s necessary for a V8 swap, but it’s puzzling for a K swap or 2GR swap.
    Keep up the excellent content.

    • @flyingmr2
      @flyingmr2 Рік тому +1

      My thoughts exactly. This custom work is really neat, but putting a 2gr or k in an MR2 does not require this level of fabrication. Not knocking it or anything. Even if the reason is “just because”, that’s good enough for me

    • @scantronsgarage
      @scantronsgarage  Рік тому +2

      Good thoughts. Yes testing between a turbo k series and the n/a 2gr. The 2gr swap was proposed to me after I did the K-swap. The longitudinal setup is important for moving the engine weight toward the center of the vehicle. The goal of this is to be able to achieve a 50/50 weight bias.
      This car is now gone! and I am working on my v8 swap.. unfortunately i found out i have a smoked cam/lifters. more on that soon! Thanks for watching : )

      @@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!

    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
      @scantronsgarage  Рік тому +2

      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.
