Toyota MR2 Spyder 2GRFE 3.5L V6 swap (no exhaust)

2001 Toyota MR2 Spyder with a 2006 2GRFE 3.5L V6 swap.

Start, idle and rev.

Modified (to fit) stock exhaust manifolds, K&N intake, no exhaust.

Using RAV4 ECU, but wiring is for Camry ECU, thus the VVTi is not functional in this video due to sensors wired to the wrong pins. I plan to run the Camry ECU once I register it with a VIN.

Video also shows the ground clearance.

where can i purchase this engine?

[uspspro]

@zavenisgood4u I just searched car-part.com look for a Camry, Rav4, ES350, Avalon, etc. Search your local area, call them up and see who has the most complete set of parts and lowest mileage for the price.

This swap is now fully complete. I need to do a video with the exhaust in place. The car made 276 rwhp and 248 ftlb of torque at the wheels.

All stock engine, and ECU... Only mods are custom exhaust, modified stock manifolds, K&N intake and lightweight flywheel. The car has all 3 cats fitted.

I'm a Toyota guy, started with a Gen3 Camry then moved into the Lexus SC's but now I'm about to purchase a Mr2 Spyder and definitely getting rid of the 1zz at some point. 2zz and 2gr's go for 3-5k still, I wonder how hard a 1mzfe or similar swap would be, maybe even 2azfe + boost.

@zavenisgood4u Look for one online, through a dealership, they can cost up to $15k, no joke. I used to work for North Bakersfield Toyota Scion here in Bakersfield, CA. That's what the dealership pays for a new engine in a new car with issues because we had one Highlander that was defective and they brought it in 3 times. I dunno why they didn't just get a new one because you can do that. I forgot the term for that because I am not a car salesman. I was only a lube tech.
