Have a couple things on the go but am way too excited about these so I have to post them.

Not often your exhaust comes in their own tote bags...

Another set to add to the collection. Unfortunately they were all damaged during shipping(bent lips) :mad::mad:.
Currently getting repaired and waiting for a response on my claim. Either way, I'm happy as I've always wanted a set.

Why go through the hassle of a K20 swap? There's lots of bolt in options.

boibuddha 08-31-2016 04:31 PM

This video probably helped sway him in that direction

underscore 08-31-2016 10:20 PM

There are bolt in engines that can make that much power and more.

I don't have one reason for doing it. It's a unique motor swap and I feel like the MR2 would be a perfect platform for it. I could of gone with 3gen, 4gen or a 2gr swap but I want something different. The k20a2 is very capable in stock form, I think it is more capable than the Toyota line up of motors, maybe I'm wrong but I plan to find out. I am installing dual springs and a few small upgrades to it to handle a bit of boost. The aftermarket support is huge and less expensive compared to 3sgte. I see that it is being installed in different makes of cars (NSX, Miatas, etc.) kind of like the LS# for different makes of muscle cars.

I find the MR2 can be fine tuned and started to cherry pick from other cars like the S2000 seats now the K20a2. I used to own a modded 1992 Prelude S with the f22a1 and swapped in a jdm h22a w/5 speed lsd tranny and a SRV interior back in 2004 and drove it as a DD for a few years. I loved that car, the h22a had a mild build and I was impressed with the power and reliability.

I guess I will find out in spring time if it was worth it.

Can't wait to see the outcome of your build! Any of these swaps been done locally? Know of any 4th gen swaps locally as well?

Thanks, I'll be posting the build on RS + other forums. Russ (Immortality) has done the 2gr swap and had his car featured on Smoking Tire. I don't know any gen4 swaps around here, mostly in the US.

More parts will be showing up very soon (custom turbo, manifold, etc.)

immorality 09-11-2016 07:37 AM

There's one 4th gen swap that I know of, in the Vancouver area.

ZN6 09-11-2016 08:55 AM

Damn, Toyota knows how to build a chassis, Honda knows how to build a motor. Let the sacrilege begin!

There was a dude who put a k20 into a w30 at some point as well. It was beastly.

1BADMR2 09-11-2016 09:48 AM

I posted a video in the bad ass video section of a guy swapping a k20 in a porsche. It's just the way it is now, best bang for your dollar.
And a fully built k20a2 turbo in a NA1 NSX.

1BADMR2 09-28-2016 04:08 AM

Picked up the manifold and turbo for the swap, test fitting the set up.

Never knew something like this existed, so I bought one. No more brake kits and c clamps as I recently repainted my 4 piston calipers. Ratcheting brake piston compressor.

Wow. The really sucks. Are the lobes normally shaped like that? (Not including the chip?)

prelude_prince 10-08-2016 08:28 AM

Ouch. Sorry to hear that. I have bad experience from buying on supraforums a few years back as well. From someone with positive ratings too. Bought what was supposingly a Supra TT ECU off his car. Turned out to be an Aristo ECU. Was banged up and shitty/shady. Seemed more to be junkyard goods.
