  • this is what I'm thinking to do my mr2 as well. hows she driving?

  • @Unknownframes It drove great till I started messing with things lol. Was not the cars fault, I made the mistake that put her on jack stands for the time being.

  • You live in Texas right? Did you have any problem with the inspection on that 3rd gen swap? Is it still obd1? I'm thinking about doing a 3rd gen swap. What about parts? Are the 2nd gen parts interchangeable with the 3rd gen motor?

  • @yelnatsmada No problems at all, Texas is not Cali, you can pass just about anything with a little work. In this case All I needed for it to pass out of the box was a cat.

    Parts are no harder to get then a 2nd gen 3sgte. Some parts are interchangeable, some are not.

  • is it plug and play? i'm going to do the same swap on my friend's 93 and the engine comes with everything, but one of the plugs were cut off so i'm not sure if that would work or not.

  • @mehrshadvr4 It was plug and play in my 93 turbo chassis. For an NA or earlier model you will have to move some wires around.

    If a connector is cut off you will either need to wire in a new connector or get a new harness.

see all

  • @TexasAceAA ahhh man! sorry to hear that. Im might be getting it down hear in cali. Have to get new breaks and whole bunch other crap. Im not a DIY kinda guy, so its gonna cost me some. How much horsepower? mpg? roughly

  • @TexasAceAA Awesome. Thanks for the info!

  • @MrKaoVue DSM's (aka, eclipse/talon) are good learning cars since they always have something going wrong and are cheap to fix. They are also a lot cheaper to make power out of then an MR2 when on a budget. Plus no one cares if you ruin one of them when learning.

    The MR2 makes for a good 2nd or 3rd tuner car, after you have a little experience and get the ricer out of your system. Done right they are very reliable but they do cost more to work on and make power.

  • a DSM? man..never thought of a DSM, is that American tuned? how is it cheaper to work on and make fast than a MR2?
