No possible way known. The MR2 is a mid mounted 1.6 with its own drive lines gear box etc etc. The RB25 is a straight 6 with a North south displacement that is designed to sit down the front. You would need about 5k in just suspension mods alone to keep the car at a driveable hieght after fitting such a heavy engine. I think you would have about as much chance of doing this as taking over the world!

3SGTEUs or whatever they are called are a good engine. Apparantly if you want to build a tough example then the one sourced from a late model Celica GT4 is the way to go.

They are still going cheap, im amazed mroe ppl arent trying to bring them in under 15yr rule...perhaps there arent many good examples gettign around?!?!?!

The old 4AGZE is actually a really good motor, ports are good sized for boost induced power - the bottom end is very very strong, and the ECU and injectors are reasonable overrated for stock. Get a supercharged one, a semi decent intercooler, a turbo (EVO TD05's work real well I've heard) and an aftermarket ECU and you'd get a light car without the hassle of an engine transplant etc and over 300hp. I know plenty of people who have done it, with excellent results..

I also know a guy with an AW11 MR2 ( the early shape I assume you are talking about) with a 3SGTE from a late model 2l turbo MR2, it is happily a 12s car.

Anyway, this is a Nissan orientated forum so I should shut up now :rofl:

the 3sgte motor can handle allot we have a 700bhp example and it runs 10s all day they are good motors for the money

Funny i have heard quite the opposite, about how they chuck there toys at around 400BHP>? Quite a few caldinas GTT's etc putting rods out the side of the block all on a relatively stock 3SGTE- And after looking around abit its actually really common.

      The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.

      I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋

      Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.

      So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
