So, we have this Toyota MR2 Turbo with a now-crispy engine, and we have the insurance company on the other line. The engine looks salvageable, but if it has to come out for the clean-up, do we just put it back in or do we look for something better?
Let’s be honest, you’re for hot, nasty, badass speed, and …
And, if you’re saying to yourself, “Hey, I’ve been a GRM subscriber long enough to remember when you blew up a whole bunch of V6s back when you did a Camry project,” well, we did.
I remember that article. Good times!
Modern japanese V6's seem pretty top notch for mid-engine swaps (and swaps in general!). I'm a fan of the Honda J series, but the Toyota engines are cool too.
When you see the two engines sitting there IRL, then it all makes a lot of sense.
How about 440hp from a 2GR..........
Good title, I came in expecting something like this.

That but in red. And with JG driving.

Hard not to love the door-hinge-to-carabiner setup!

One of the best truly clever and useful things I've ever gotten off of YouTube.
Yeah I remember the Camry debacle. I was rooting for it because any Camry with an Accusump oil accumulator is serious business. Hopefully this one lives a long healthy life.
With the RPM and torque the Lotus has these pumping out, I've often wondered how it would sound at 8000+ in an S2000... They're supposedly 20lbs lighter than a K24.
I hope this is not the same type of engine that was in the ill-fated Camry project. Hoping for the best!
Man I love this! Neat project.
