It was NA before so the cable is not against the Exhaust Cable. The intake manifold allows for the installation to be as is. It places less strain on the cable.

ok, i c did you car came with the 3sge or the 5sfe? bc if your car came with the 3sge that would explain why your throttle cable is longer than mine.
i would like to have one of those since i dont have cruise control since it dont work i took it out...less weight

My car came with the 3sge third Gen. We first transplanted a 2nd gen turbo followed by a 3rd Gen and now we have the Caldina 4th Gen.
There are not many Mr2 in my country, Less than 12 so I doupt I will get an extra cable.
Hope things work out for you.

Here is a quick update just finish the intake pipe. now to paint it flame red. and to move now to the harness finally.. Mr220V give me a call or i would give u a call...

I really like the way it sits in that engine bay... moves more of the weight away from the rear and towards the middle of the car. You should let us know if you notice that making a difference.

Great Job[/QUOTE]

Thanks.... how is your ride
??

hey man any updates on this? how does it feel compared to the 3rd gen?

[2fast4u]

jrmr291 did you use a 3rd gen water neck and 3rd gen t-stat?

Also did you replace the timing belt on this?

If so did you also replace the water pump and tensioner? And are they the same as the gen3 water pump and tensioner?

Lastly I see you relocated the alternator, did you just use the gen2/gen3 bracket? And where did you find a belt to fit the custom setup?


Sorry for all the questions, I'm doing this swap in the next month and a half and I want to be as prepared as possible.

1)no i didn't change it bc i inspect it and it was in good condition since my motor only came with 32000 miles..

2)no, i didn't everything was looking like new.

3)as far as i know is the same i didn't c any different since i had before a 3 gen.

4)i used all the brackets from the 3 gen and swap it to the 4 gen witch are the same from the 2 gen if that what u have right now. is plug and play. well i use the power steering belt wish is 3 layers but i be changing it since i would remove the crank pulley to have the 3 gen pulley in to have the correct belt.

ask me anything i'm here to help ..

here is a quick update of the engine..

[2fast4u]

Awesome I really could use the help haha.


Did you use the 3rd gen water neck and thermostat for the cooling system?

You swapped all the pulleys? Even the crank pulley? Seems like alot of work. Why not put the alternator in the 3rd gen spot and find a belt to match?

nope i use the same 4gen as is the same as the 3 gen.

nope just the alternator to match the 4 layer of the 3 gen crank pulley that i be placing in the 4 gen this weekend hopefully.

well at this moment is not install but it will be...but i using the a/c that came with the car not the one from the 4gen.

[2fast4u]

By the way I looked through your pictures and saw the coolant neck your gen 4 came with and it's definitely not what's on the motor now. Is it from a gen3 3sgte or a beams engine?

lol my bad i got confuse but yeah u right i use the 3 gen, it was pnp. i hope u find it hopeful all the pics. i need to tag them by frame.

[2fast4u]

Haha thanks man. The pics definitely help.

Did you use the 3rd gen thermostat too or the gen4? I wasn't sure if they were the same or not.

Also how did you address the fuel line routing?

thermostat is the same,,,

well i had to do a little DIY.. i took the fuel lines from the filter to the rail that i had spare and made a line that will fit the fuel rail with the 90º fuel lines ends "forgot the name" .. tomorrow i would take pics of the lines and a better description on how i did it. but i could say this save money and make it in braid lines with the adapters and it be way better,,...
