Hallo all, i have a question topic, in dutch but im going to translate it to english.
Because i have some questions.


I want to buy a MR2 SW20 EU version.
But i want to swap the engine, i want to know what i do need to replace, if I buy a SW20 with a 3s-ge enine.

I'm looking for the 1MZ-FE swap and but a SC or turbo on it.

But does the engine mounts fit? or do i need to put new one on it?
And how about the gearbox?
It there a 6box thats fits one the engine.

and from what HP does the engine need rebuild?
Honda stock D engines need little rebuild above 6psi, how about the 1MZ engines?

Thanks

- Three of four engine mounts are located on the gearbox. You re-use your stock mounts for this. The right hand engine mount (on the front of the engine) needs to be custom fabricated.

- You can use the S54 gearbox from your 3SGE if you want, but you will need to drill some spare holes in the case to match the V6 block. Only 3-4 bolts will line up.

- 6 speed gearbox? No.

- The 1MZFE has weak piston ringlands. They give up and break somewhere around the 300hp mark or simply with solid hard use with even a Toyota/TRD supercharger. The TRD supercharger boosts 3-4 psi with the stock pulley.
