^ The Right way to put a V8 into an MR2.

Mista 2 · 06-23-2008, 05:47 AM

i think the front bar was the best part

Bak@EMSPowered · 06-23-2008, 07:14 AM

Very nice. Gotta love the sound of a V8.

Mista 2 · 06-24-2008, 04:33 AM

My buddy and I dropped a 1UZ into his MK3 Supra, that was a fun project. I wanna put one in a 2nd gen MR2

That pretty cool to drop that engine in a small pickup. I'd imagine it would be more of a challenge to drop it in to a MK1 though.

yeah man, check out how it fills the engine bay of a truck! now imagine getting all that into a mk1!

Ok I need to stop looking at this thread, or I will be on the hunt to take on this. Lord knows I don't have the time or personal knowledge. But has that stopped any of us from trying before?

wagonis · 06-27-2008, 09:44 AM

Hm...I'm actually picking up an engineless MK1 in the next week...

Nah, I don't have anywhere near the proper knowledge for this kind of project, although I may think about a MK1.5 though.

well that 1uz took the fabrication of a tube rear end, which i think i well beyond the skills of 99% of us

and mk1.5 isnt exactly a walk in the park either, you need to fabricate all new engine mounts and get the mk2 gearbox to mate up to the mk1 axles, plus deal with the electrics, and youre gonna need bigger brakes

plus then you need to get it all legal

totally worth it though ay,
just use a discrete BOV so you dont give the game away hahah
