dandan Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 Can anyone give me a rough idea how much I should be looking to fork out for a MR2 turbo ('94 or newer) with the 3SGTE CT20 turbo motor with say a front end smash or other damage not affecting the rear suspension/subframe/brakes/gearbox/engine/driveshafts/hubs etc. Car would ideally need to be a runner with low mileage. I would also probably be after the front subframe, suspension and brakes as well but will probably have to buy this seperately. I can't imagine finding one car with none of these items damaged! Basically I'm looking to transplant the running gear (or at least the rear setup) into another car and am trying to get an idea of cost.

dandan Posted October 2, 2006 Author Share Posted October 2, 2006 Yep me too! I'm also considering a late NA but need to look into engine changes in a bit more detail (might not need to be a 94 or newer). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 The only benefit from a later 3S-GE would be if you went for the 'Beams' version, the others give the same performance despite the power figures being different. Personally I'd buy a Camry and steal the V6, with breathing enhancements it's a lovely lump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keron Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 sorry didnt see the 94+ model bit....didnt CJ have a k plate for about 2k? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todd Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 sorry didnt see the 94+ model bit....didnt CJ have a k plate for about 2k? only a rev2, rev3 commands a higher premium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wkdtime Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 Decent Rev 3 plus with the generation 2 3SGTE will be atleast 4k plus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dandan Posted October 3, 2006 Author Share Posted October 3, 2006 Is a Rev 3plus still the SW20 shape - we're not talking about the modern MR2 here are we? I'm thinking of this type (albeit a 1994 or later one): http://www.rockbrain.com/motor/sw20-photo-980307.html Maybe the cost is another factor to steer me towards an NA transplant - that would still net me a manageable 165bhp with a few minor tweaks (enough for 550kg of car). Off to research what the Beams version is... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wkdtime Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 Yup thats the one in the link, Rev 3 is the SW20 with round rear lights (Facelift) and one piece spoiler, 174BHP as compared to 154BHP which the rev 2 and rev 1 Na generate. With the turbo variation, the rev 3 plus came with the CT20B turbo (would hold boost to redline appose to the CT26 (Rev 1+2) which soon drops off after 5.6k RPM, also the Rev 3 ditched the MAF sensors and went for the MAP based to measure airflow, thus the Rev 3 plus were more powerful, better on fuel and better tunability appose to the previous generations. How do i know? I had both of them when i was 20:D! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michael Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 Hell no, it's no replacement for a 2JZ but it's a great cheap alternative for the MR2. This might be of interest: http://www.mr2mk1club.com/V6MR2.html And this one is lovely, looks like it came out of the factory with this engine: http://www.iftc.f2s.com/MRV6/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
