mk1 mr2 with turbo?

[blowy84]

i have previously owned a mk1 mr2 and loved it, wish i had a supercharged one and have recently been having a hankering to buy one, whilst i have been thinking about this i have had a thought if anyone has put a mk2 turbo engine into a mk1. I also have a celica gt4 (st185) and love the engine, the combination of the two would be brilliant. does anyone know of anyone that has done this translplant??

yes its common, theres even a forum for them two brutal. I can't see why they bother, I bet bolting a turbo on the 4age would result in a better car overall.

or maybe just tuning the supercharged unit would be suffice, now just to find a good supercharged one........................

Paul Woods up in newcastle specialises in it. they are by all accounts a bit special

paul woods did one of the first UK conversions and has also done a camry V6 conversion and last time i spoke to him was putting a lexus V8 into one!

quick google and you'll see a lot of MK1's with 3SGTE conversions and a lot of V8 conversions. V8 conversions also common on MX5's too.

might wanna look at this also

3SGTE powered mk1s are incredibly fast. There are a few in NZ with well over 300hp.
I am building a turbocharged 4AGZE motor for my mk1. A lot cheaper and easier than the 3S conversion and potentially nearly as quick. Basically swapping the SC for a turbo is all I am doing, with a forged bottom end. Should be good for 200rwhp using the stock 4agze ecu and fuel system.
I recommend it!

Have a look on IMOC (www.imoc.co.uk/forums), there'll be a fair amount of info on there.

I'm one of the lucky gits who managed to source a mk1 sc

Head over to TwoBrutal as said above, everything you need and why you need it is there.

I always saw this as massively more sensible.

The Woodsport conversions threads on TwoBrutal are great reads, I love the Mk1 V6 SC that they did, that thing was a beast.
