My friend has a Turbocharged '00 Toyota MR2 Spyder, and recently during an autocross event... the engine blew. Many different ideas popped up and one was.. either a K20 or K24 swap into the MR2. The vehicle as of now is 2100lbs. and with the k series plus boost we think the car would be awesome. here's some pictures of the car. ill try to keep you all updated on the project. TRD+Vtec=mwhahah !

I would say... go for it.

It will be kinda like a lotus

SIchodelic · 10-01-2007, 09:28 PM

how would you put a FWD engine into a MR car? sounds expensive

fg2si!kid · 10-01-2007, 09:48 PM

k20a FTW! keep us updated

i-spit-hotfire · 10-01-2007, 09:54 PM

as stated about ^^^ it is kind of like a lotus elise, in which people pull out the lotus-tuned toyota engine in favor for a k series. this car is also mid-engined and of course i would assume both swaps are expensive considering that k series aren't cheap, plus with drivetrain, mounts, shifter assembly, radiator/cooling lines, exhaust fab, wiring, and who knows what else...this thing is definitely gonna be expensive.

i would say go for it...just the thought of 2100 lbs, k series power, and rear-wheel drive makes me warm and fuzzy in my pants

There was a k-powered mrs in marketplace a few weeks ago. The blue one from the American Touge 2 dvd. Kickass!

Much easier then putting an FR engine in an MR car. Atleast with FWD the engine is facing the same way.

It already has a fwd based engine in it. Don't think too hard.

He doesn't need a K20 Look for the celica 2zz engine out of the Celica GT-S with VVTL-i it goes in there. Has pistons and rods can be sleeved etc....

JDM_Acccord · 10-05-2007, 08:30 PM

the car is pretty much stripped down now.

the engine is now out... haha

now the engine is really out.

that's all for now..

ill keep you all informed on what happens.

fg2si!kid · 10-05-2007, 11:07 PM

i love the way cars look all stripd down keep it coming !!

eL · 10-06-2007, 06:34 PM

It's been done. It makes the MR-S worth driving

pos_cd5 · 10-06-2007, 07:52 PM

subscribed! K20 ftw

Kidnkorner · 10-06-2007, 10:59 PM

This is really cool! But wouldn't this be better suited in the hybrid forum? I think a K series engine in this would be the shiznit, also there is huge aftermarket following that all are aware of. I would think that the engine from the Celica GTS with a bored and stroked block would be good too. If i'm not mistaken it too shares a similar variable valve timing system with the K series.

It has a very similar system like I-vtec its called VVTL-i. I dont see a point in using the K-series engine.

It is not a superior motor. There's good sides and bad sides but nothing makes it superior.

nicokpe · 10-07-2007, 06:45 PM

i can't say anything because it's very excellent car
