K20 mr2??

[Behtec_JunKIE]

Hey guys I'm searching some info for a mate he's got a mr2 spyder and is looking for a engine conversion wid some balls and he's wondering if anyone can shed some lite on the k20 conversion for the mr2 like wat would it involve if anyone supplies Bolton parts for the conversion such asmounts etc and also wat problems may occur etc thanks in advance

To me it sounds like it'd be a one off conversion.

[Behtec_JunKIE]

Nah it's been done before in phillipines America japan etc was just wondering if anyone in Australia knows good knowledge on it here

[SHOGUNOVDDRK]

Really?

lol, wouldn't picture Toyota guys doing that.

If your mate hits up the MR2 forums he may get more help there.

There's some lotus elise's that are race only with K20 conersions, probably start your research from there as it's the same platform (midship RWD)

I wouldn't say one off. Theres heaps done in the lotus and they kill. Im sure if you focus more on the american forums you'll find answeres there.

theres a youtube clip of one. the mr-s in the k20 battle.

Your mate should expect to pay in the vicinity of 30 grand if he isn't doing a lot of the work himself. It's a shame Aus doesn't have the K support that the US does.

a company in japan called HALFWAY, specialises in this conversion


maybe this might help too. http://www.toyotanation.com/forum/archive/index.php/t-127075.html

and on a side note iam pretty sure you could take it to a performance automotive store, and they would give you drive in and out price.

couldn't pick a worse car to spend money on, everyone in oz who has spent in excess of 60k on one to build performance gains is well and truely over this car lol

begin to research rear cooling now and save yourself alot of troubles which will continue to happen often
