Like I've said in the past. With a torch and a welder you can make just about anything fit. Your imagination is the limit to what can be swapped.

There's just a few factors to be taken into consideration.

-Money
-Time
-Determination
-And you're wife/husband haha!!

 

There are Mk 3 MR2 swaps (MR-S) of 2GR's - but it would be very heavy - do you really want that much weight at the front of a Celi?

 

I personally know the owners of 2 2gr swapped mk2 MR2, for them it makes a lot more sense. The 3sgte weighs significantly more and produces less power. With the 2gr, it's lighter and because of the lower compression, you dont even need to put premium fuel in.

but for the celica I think it'd be too much weight for the front end.

on another note, the 2gr is probably more accessible from venzas, rx350s, and camrys rather than trying to source an evora engine.

 

Really? Does 100 something lbs affect it that much?

 

agree with the front weight issue. We already have a 63/37 weight distribution, and I cant imagine that even making it rwd would manage any better than 60/40 which is atrocious for a rwd car. If a drift car is what you want maybe it'd be an interesting experiment but as a daily or any type of road racer it will have only remnants of handling.

 

Would 100 pound heavier motor make that big of a diff?
