Looking awesome you should do a cost compilation for anyone trying to attempt the swap

Here in the UK it cost about £7000 just in parts. It was a big waste of money, should have done a K swap.

@@gonzalodequesada1981 Just add up the LSD diff, the header, the engine+trans mount set, the shift linkage kit, air con pulley, thermostat housing from Frankenstein motor works webshop = $5252.83 inc shipping plus import duty. Then an engine, a gearbox, ECU, wiring, sensors etc etc! Yes the 2AR is totally street usable, its is very lazy fat power. Mine makes a solid 215hp flywheel and about 190hp at the wheels. 100% just do either 2ZZ, or a turbo if you want sub £2500 power, or do a K swap if you want more and willing to spend £4500. Wish you all the best

@@threepotMR2 I see, It's a pitty it was not worth it. I thought Frankenstein motors were claiming 230 to the wheels with a modified fxe. Anyways, keep up the good work I just subscribed because I found many of your videos useful and interesting

@@gonzalodequesada1981 He is, and I think its massively exaggerated. Say 10% trans losses.... 230hp wheels = is about 253hp flywheel. Its a 2494cc engine. That would equate to 101.5hp per litre. Any engine that gets 100hp to the litre always has to rev hard like bike engines, 2zz, K series etc. But the 2AR only peaks at 7200 etc. You'd need 8500rpm to get that magic 100hp per litre. Its all just USA dynojet BS. I'm happy to compare 1/4 mile times or 0-60 with him, but he won't bring that to the table, and I've asked about 10 times. Instead he just claims I'm down on power, but compared to other 2AR's I'm right up at the top, and my 1/4 mile time is the highest I've seen yet.

I got it CNC'd by PCBWAY... I have the cad file if you want it. But in all honesty just put a K-swap in your MR2 instead. These 2AR's are really lame.

In total the whole project cost me about £8000 and I would not do it again! Certainly would use a K swap instead.
