BEAMS 3SGE vs RB25DET (NA MR2 vs turbo skyline)

Giving an RB25DET powered R33 skyline a bit of a chase with my BEAMS 3SGE powered MR2. :D

If you like the slide at the start, there's a few more here:

@micmiclai Nice one! I'd love to take an MRS for a drive and see what they are like.

Still got this car? I've seen a beams engine come up for grabs and i'm tempted to buy it although it'll cost a bit here in the UK. Will I need anything else to complete the engine conversion? Could I even maybe just replace the head? Any ecu modification?

@leejameswhitehouse Hey there, No sorry this car is long gone. I've still got a beams powered car, but its front engined rear wheel drive for sake of being super easy to work on by comparison. (See my vid called "FR is best" for why) Unfortunately you cant just swap the heads, you need to swap the whole motor over. The beams engines have got a smaller volume in the combustion chamber of the head, and different valve angle so different pistons.

@leejameswhitehouse Check out mr2.com/forums/beams-owners-gr­oup/ for some great information, definitely best source of info on the net. I wish I had the same amount of info that's out there now as when I started this swap however many years ago!
