Has anyone done this swap, or have any idea on what to anticipate?
I'd like to take a manual mr2 non turbo and put a 1uz in it, raise the compression and do some 'bang for the buck' mods and see what kind of n/a power I can get out of it for cheap ... maybe fabricate some headers for it and some cams if I can find them inexpensive enough.
Other than that, I'd like to throw some tire and suspension under it and see how she does
What do you all think? I'm new to autocross/road racing and would like to have a torquey liteweight car to practice with. I don't think it would increase the overall curb weight of 2700 pounds much.
Thoughts/Input?
