What a beast. Wanna trade for an FR-S?

husker741 02-09-2013 06:01 PM

Awesome.

Oteck 02-09-2013 06:05 PM

Sure thing if that FR-S has an H6/2jz or anything with more than 4 cylinders ;)

That looks great! Must be super fun to drive. I never knew people did V6 swaps on these cars. Something new to learn about...

Oteck 02-09-2013 06:28 PM

pretty interesting driving a mid rear thats powered by a minivan :lol:
I do my own cnc design, fab and wiring is no stranger to me. Pretty much i did everything on the v6 swap by myself w/ little outside help aside for the exhaust fab.

My intent with that car is to modify it so much that it's still retain the stock looks and feels like but enough to freak out a toyota tech who lays eye on it.

I haven't gotten around to reading up on subaru tech as im a toyota gear head
but if i ever get my hands on a BRZ used id so rip out that h4 for a 3.6 H6 in a heart beat.

Interesting, i wonder if it still has the character the nimble MR2's are known for.

It weighs less and make more power than a stock gen2 3sgte.
It also runs on regular gas unlike the other :bellyroll:

My experiences at the Toyota dealership with my FRS is that you don't need to do much to "freak out" a Toyota Tech.. Just show them a car and open the hood.

BTW: very nice work.

If they saw whats in my front hood, they'll think it's a hybrid :lol:

Well done! Non T-top car, big brakes & SUPER CLEAN!

I had a '91T back in the day I bought new.

They certainly aren't common, but I've seen a total of 2. Both had the VVT-i 1MZ-FE's swapped in though.

Nice swap, OP! :thumbsup:

God I want to drive a V6 MR2... actually I'm afraid if I do, then I'll have to do one to my MR2, too! Very nice car! I need to spend more time in the SW20 section.

Oteck 02-20-2013 09:14 PM

It's more practical as a daily which what it was intended for. the purr of 6cyl is music to my ears, it's very exotic in a way.
