      Hey Marc, I just discovered your channel and website! Id heard murmurs on the MR2 boards for a while about 2AR swaps and now I know where that information is coming from!
      My question is this: do you have in depth guides or videos up that go over the AW11 swap you did for lemons? I have an 87 AW11 and am researching affordable swap options. I've looked through your website and channel but couldnt find anything, perhaps I missed the video?
      Thanks for the content, Its very interesting and insightful!

    Mark's demeanour and very thoughtful, deliberate way of explaining complicated concepts reminds me a lot of Haltech's Scotty (AKA Tuning Fork). When he was talking about the Haltech ECU, it was a little uncanny! I now need to see a MCM / G&G collab!

    • @marlonmckenzie1777
      @marlonmckenzie1777 Рік тому +2

      I was thinking the same when I heard him, I had to do a Tuning Fork search to remind myself of his features and accent.
      I was gonna post "Either Mark sounds like Tuning Fork or Tuning Fork sounds like Mark.. they both speak Haltech."

    Loving this build. As an old school Toyota fan that migrated to a Honda fan, mostly because of wanting some vtec power in my life. It is great to see that toyota had a competitor to the k series all along. We just didn’t know it. This build has me looking for a 2ar now. I just have to see about converting it to rwd to put it in my Ae86.

    Had the chance at work this week to swap a junkyard 2AR from a Venza into a Sienna. I did notice the factory oil separator integrated in the engine. But, holy cow, I was more amazed at the size of the intake ports. They remind me of the 3rd Gen Hemi in size and shape, for some reason.
    Had to swap parts from the old engine to the "new" one, but the swap was a success. A lot of work, I must say.

    Just a pro tip from a fellow car small sports tuner, those motorcycle and ATV agm batteries are good for 2-3 years before you need to charge them on a regular basis (weekly if you daily drive and monthly if you just go to tracks). It got annoying for me and I went to a 51R AGM battery. A bit heavier, but there are other ways to shed weight that don't annoy you all the time.
