    Default 1991 MR-2 with 2GR-FE Lexus V6 swap

    Here's a chance to own a rare 2GR-FE V6 swapped 1991 MR2 turbo. This is the most sought-after engine swap to date. This swap was performed less than 2 years ago and has had zero problems including a few road trips. This is a proven car and very reliable and there are only a dozen or so of these swaps in the country now. There was no expense spared in building this car. Wiring was professionally done and looks factory. At car shows people think the engine is stock and just keep walking.
    The car has been garage kept since I bought it. The steering is tight. The Engine is 100% stock so the motor is very reliable. The interior is nice overall. It has cloth seats which are slightly worn (driver side more than passenger), but for the right deal, I can include some brand new Corbeau FX1 Pros with mounts. The paint isn’t perfect but looks great from 5Ft. It could use some wet sanding/buffing. The front bumper has some paint chips on the bottom driver corner and its missing the front lip. If you are looking for a mint condition Body Mr2 this isn’t perfect but looks great! No rust problems. In addition to the performance, I have averaged 23mpg with mixed city/hwy driving.

    PRICE: $9500 without extras.

    Its actually not that bad. There is as much room if not more around this engine than a 3sgte. The engine can be dropped and re installed in a day easily.

    Wow! The 2gr is a STRONG engine in a big sedan, i can only imagine how much well this car pulls especially with a 5spd.

    Here are a few pictures of the exhaust. I had a hard time trying to make duals fit so I used a buddys Busher racing 3" can. Its all stainless. Sounds nasty WOT. Also dropped about 30lbs with the new system





    Part of the old

    I agree it was terrible.

    Just put a new ACT 6 puck clutch in as well as full fluid change.

    New clutch, fluid change, and poly motor mounts. Lots of interest but no transaction yet.
