Dude, be more specific. What are you looking for. Do you somehow have a bastardized MR2 with a Gen 1 motor in it?!

Very, Very few Gen 1 engine parts are compatable with Gen 2 engines.

Again, what parts are you looking for?

the mr2 i'm looking at has a gen 1 3s-gte swap in it from a 88 celica gt-4 the a2w intercooler was swapped for a a2a intercooler and the gen 1 intake manifold was swapped for a gen 2 so what my question is can i just go out and buy gen 2 aftermarket stuff or do i have to go and track down gen 1 parts?

I do not understand why they would have swapped that motor in there?

I, personally, would find another MR2 with a Gen 2 or a Gen 3 swapped into an MR2.

If you really want this one, you will need Gen 1 parts for the engine.

i dont think many people know the compatibility differences between the gen 1 and gen 2 cause the gen 1 is not as common as the gen 2... so i think your out of luck there.


i have no idea why that person would swap a gen 1 in when gen 2 and JDM gen 3 are easy to get and upgrade.




swap it out for a 3vz/5vz or 1mz/3mz

:)

well i am still checking into compatibility if they are compatible i will go for this one but if not then i guess i am still on the hunt.

here is the link if anyone cares to look and continue input.

if you get it, i would sell the motor as a whole or part the motor out, then use some extra money and get a gen 2 turbo swap.

cause almost no one knows about gen 1s.

also blue interiors are ugly.
