Default MR2 v6 ENGINE SWAP! Need help!

Ok i am doing an MR2 engine swap. If any of you read SportCompactCar its in the April 2003 issue.

Everyone just gets MR2's and ups the damn boost. that seems to boring and common. not to mention i hear the engines have there problems, soooooooo ENGINE SWAP. and the best part is, is that its a v6...meaning MORE TORQUE!!! oh yes much more torque in a mid engine rwd car...come on now. only makes sense.

ok heres the deal. i need to find a turbo MR2 with a blown engine..cause they are cheaper, of course. and yes it has to be turbo cause everything works better and is already upgrade in the 2nd gen 93' and up. ok well if anyone knows any good sites or any one who has a turbo mr2 with a blown engine, please let me know.

ohh and all you people that have the "fastest mr2" in VA, just wait a year and i will be down there to spank all of you....hopefully ok thanks

hmmm.....NO! I can't stand the new fad of replaceing a mr2 turbo 3sgte motor w/ a na camry motor and turboing it! if your serious about doing the swap check out www.board.mr2faq.com , many people have talked about doing it also. lets recap, what did the v6 mr2 put down anyway? 450hp right? and it was twincharged right.

I don't believe you, but i'll give ya the benefit of the doubt that you will try and be the fastest mr2 in va
