illneversellmyceli:
There are piston/rods cams, valves, springs, oil pumps, exhaust flanges, flywheels, clutches, the list goes on. Focus your attention to the MR2 V6 forums. 3/4 of these parts are interchanged from other motors. I doubt you will find 3MZFE named parts. Just as an example, I'm using a Findanza solara V6 manual flywheel, K&N matrix intake. A lot of stuff is universal, like standalone computers, turbos and bits, superchargers, exhaust parts. A wide variety of injectors also fit. The possibilities are endless, you just need to know exactly what you need and find it. Building a FI setup would be a piece of cake... (expensive cake) Building up a V6 is not for the bolt on crowd. Much knowledge and skill is required. Sounds hard but keep in mind before this I never put a wrench to a motor before (aside from changing oil, spark plugs and an alternator). Everything I know now is 98% because of this swap. I did my homework, a lot of it. Anyone can do it, except maybe the dumbas-s that royally screwed up snapshot's V6. joehernandez: I'm a creative person and I'm easily influenced by crazy ideas as long as it has purpose. I'm very fussy when it comes to exotic looks, I find most body kits don't fit the car 99% of the time. I'm looking at putting the GT4 front end because I haven't seen anything that fits the 6gc better... yet. Perfect? It will never be perfect

I haven't got around to making the strut bar yet. I had to focus my attention to other things.

If you PM me and I dont respond, dont fret or cry. Im alive, better post your questions in the thread below, maybe I log back in 2grfe Swapped... Why I chose the 2GR, before you ask read here... A great civilization is not conquered from without until it has destroyed itself from within. @llamaraxing in Instagram is the best way to find me. I hardly log here anymore. |

Anyone done this while wiring in an EMS? I have an autronic that I've had for years that I want to put on this when I install mine. About to sell my nearly complete Gen III 3s that I don't have the money to buy the afermarket turbo and turbo components for. Then I'll start buying the engine and trans stuff after that. Anyone ran an EMS on this though?

QUOTE (stephen_lee @ Sep 1, 2010 - 2:06 PM) im going to run mega squirt on my 3vz I don't know though, I'm kindof on the fence about running it with the SM4. I know that it will absorb tons of time just making the harness for the car. I kinda want to get my car finished as soon as I can. If the autronic way is easier than the stock ecu+rewire then I'll choose that, if not then I'll just hold on to it and do it later. How extensive is the rewire? -------------------- -Jay
