Converting to 245 3SGTE

[Ak1R4]

To all the MR2 sifus out there, can any of you help me:

I wanna convert my SW20 MR2 G-limited Auto to a turbo-fied manual car. What should I do? Where can I do it? How much are we talking about? What about insurance and JPJ approval?

I can't say I know much about cars, so it would be nice to have someone to help me out in this little project of mine.

Thanks in advance!

Welcome to the turbo world. :-) He he he

1. Look for eng/half cut
(From Est. RM4000 - 7000 @ 245)
2. Find good mech.
(Workmanship RM Est. RM1200-1500 without the typical parts replacements. JPJ Approval is easy, the workshop will 'kow tim' for you)
3. Enjoy a turbo-ed ride

p/s always put aside money for a little extra. And if 245 is too expensive, you can save at least RM1500> for a 225 turbo)

Akira,

Try calling this guy. His name is Alvin. I believe he is the guy who bought the half cut and is selling it now. His number is 012-224 9991. I saw the engine myself. Good buy. good price.

Don't think I can afford to buy it now. Have to gauge how much I need and start saving some dough. I target to complete my mr2 transformation by end of the year.

What about mechanics? Any recommendations?

I tak mahu my engine to drop while I'm driving. :)

remember to change the :
1)water pump
2)fan belts
3)timing belts
4) check and repair any oil leaks.
Easier to do it while swapping and will have more problem free driving.
Cheers! Welcome to TUrbo world.
