You'll have to find an engine and ECU.... and do a little bit of fabbing.

It is NOT a turn key swap; there are 3 of these in the USA right now, one of which is parked in front of my house

Oh, and why do a Beams swap, rather than just throw in the 3S-GTE?? Mine, witha few mods was 300+ hp.

NA and Turbo engines have a distinctly different feel.

It's like comparing a VQ35 and a EJ20.

They put out similar amounts of horsepower, but the delivery is completely different.

Plus, when you come up next to people nad they hear the motor at first, they think oh... okay a non-turbo MR-2. No big deal. Rev a little. Oh, so its a rather agressive non-turbo MR-2. Rev to redline. OMGWTFBBQ hayabusa swap?!?!?

Yes, the car in its current state PULLS on my S2k stock.

yeah, the beams aren't far behind the turbo stock, BUT the turbo is so much more moddable. Simple boost increases, water injection, etc... That would be my choice.

EITHER lob in the V6 from the camry, or get the 245 bhp 3s-GTE from a GT4 or something. Stay away from the US spec tubby engine.
