I'm a huge fans of Mk2 MR2's, so believe me when I say get rid...

Oh, and why do a Beams swap, rather than just throw in the 3S-GTE?? Mine, witha few mods was 300+ hp.
Registered User
widebody... turbo... would it be worth the time fixing the car, or do you think working those extra hours would buy you something nicer o.o

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.
Well here is a little teaser. still being worked on but about a year later this is were we stand

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.
