New MR2 Owner

3SGTE_BYT · 09-27-2007, 10:12 AM

Hi my name is CHris and I live in Atlanta GA. I have been on ImportAtlanta.com for 3 years and own a 2004 Honda Civic EX....

I am picking up a 93 MR2 N/A Chassis w/ the 3SGTE Swap in 2 weeks. The motor is in the car but not installed. Any information or links that can point me towards some help getting this thing running would be awesome!

I'll post pictures of it as soon as Tank sends them to me

Welcome. Who are you getting the car from?

3SGTE_BYT · 09-27-2007, 12:51 PM

Andrew aka Tank.... He owns a Black Supra

That's cool, I was just curious. I'm not familiar with the MR2 he's selling. The advice on the swap will really depend on what stage it is at along with several other factors.

3SGTE_BYT · 09-27-2007, 01:20 PM

im still finding out all of the info.... i have not seen the car or know much about it. I do know it has new paint and the car was very well taken care of. Im getting such a good deal on the car i can't pass it up

i gotta friend that is on this board w/ a Widebody N/A MR2 w/ the JDM Swap. His name is Chuck... not sure what his username is though.

yeah, chris (3SGTE BYT) is in the same boat as i am...we both need a good shop around here and get these things rolling.

3SGTE_BYT · 09-27-2007, 04:49 PM

Chuck.... found out its just the wiring harness. The ECU is not hooked up. AAP quoted him like $600 to get the things running and properly installed

I came close to buying a turbo 3SGTE with the motor out, but wasn't installed. The guy was asking $2000 or so, in which, I thought was a great deal but I have no time, money, nor space to play with it... So I'm choosing to buy a running N/A instead. It was a hard decision but I have no car right now and don't have time since of school. PLUS, when I was 15 or 16, I remember trying to drop those engines in and out. It SUCKED.

Anyway, good luck bud. I hope you find someone to help finish what is needed. Post some pics!

If you need somebody to work out the wiring on an NA to turbo swap, I've done a few.

Where in Atlanta are you located?

Most likely I'd be cheaper than $600, unless somebody already tried to wire it.
