...so this morning I went to pick up the car and SURPRISE...it's a '91 MR2 with a 3rd generation 3S-GTE from a JDM MR2.
![]() ![]() She also refused that because she needs the money bad. The story is that this car is child support payment from her ex-husband. After she duivorced him, he was mad so he got in the car with his 4 year old daughter, and got all crazy drifting it on the street where he lives and wrecked it against the fence of a house and a palm tree. Good thing his daughter didn't suffer a scratch. What a dirtbag. ![]() He owes her ex-wife over $7,000 in child support. He's in the Army Reserve, so she could pretty much end his life as he knows it, but she took it easy on him and settled out of court. She took the car with many brand new aftermarket parts (forged pistons, rods, ARP studs, forged rods, clutch, turbo header, etc.) as a payment. Anyway, these are the holidays, and pretty much everyone around here is broke. Nobody is going to have thousands to shell out for an engine, except me that I have my priorities set, lol. ![]() Price? Well, higher than you guys pay in the US. ![]() ![]() This post has been edited by OOBE: Jan 2, 2010 - 4:55 PM -------------------- |

Can anyone tell me how to open the MR2's engine bay door? Where is the latch thingy? I can open the trunk, but not the engine bay. I'm stupid.

Are you sure you have a GEN3 3sgte, as the ECU says otherwise? Its possible I suppose that it has the wrong ECU plugged in? Post pics of the engine bay and I will tell what Generation 3sgte it is.

That's the stock 2nd gen 3S-GTE ECU. The engine didn't come with an ECU.

OK. found it. It was behind the driver seat, lol. Here are the pictures. I'm gonna have fun with this engine. Look at the mud in the radiator fill.
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I'm going to be selling the stock turbo and intercooler. Also, I will be selling the intake and exhaust manifolds. We're going to build custom ones. I'll use the 3" throttle body from my 7A-FE. ![]() This post has been edited by OOBE: Jan 2, 2010 - 7:00 PM -------------------- |

I'm slightly disappointed because I thought you were going to be innovative once again...but otherwise, good stuff man! Can't wait to see the build.
Why's your 6GC so moldy though? That's disgusting. This post has been edited by SwissFerdi: Jan 2, 2010 - 8:31 PM -------------------- '97 ST \ Eibach \ KYB \ Kenwood \ Alpine \ Cusco \ OEM+ [sold 10/18]

I live right at the bottom of the rain forest, so it's always rainy and humid.
![]() Sure, I'll post pics of the manifolds when we start building them. ![]() -------------------- |
