can i put a gen 1 mr2 motor into a gen 2 mr2 car

[mr2--mad]

does "any one" see any problems with this? has any one done this before

[no_8wire]

So is the engine out of a 1st generation SW20?
The car you want to put it in to is a 2nd generation SW20?

thats pretty self explanetry in his title

[Adydas]

I dont know, my understanding was he wanted to put a AW11 motor into a SW20..

So i think its a perfectly valid question.

[Adamal]

Same engine.

[Al]

One of the main difference will be the speedo drive, does your gen2 n/a have an electronic or cable speedo ? The gen1 turbo gearboxes are cable speedos.

[mr2--mad]

same engine, sweet im driving to wellington and back tommorow to get the sw20 motor then. i hope your right

[mr2--mad]

my car 2 is a turbo same as the engine

[Adamal]

The Gen 1 SW20's came with the Gen 2 3SGTE's. The Gen 2 SW20's came with the Gen 2 3SGTE's.

[mr2--mad]

to al my mr2 car is sw20turbo, i will check the speedo cable tommorow any other differences between Gen1 and Gen2 SW20s

[Adamal]

Rear suspension was altered to make the car sit a bit lower in the back (If I recall correctly)

Also, if you're not going to change the gearbox as well, then don't worry about the speedo cable. Don't listen to Al, he doesn't know much

[mr2--mad]

thank s putin a 1990 mr2 turbo motr into a 1992 mr2 turbo car doesnt seem that radical i just wanna be careful

[Al]

My bad I thought you had an n/a for some reason, and the 1992 onwards sw20 turbos had an electronic speedo drive. If you already have a gen2 I'm assuming you are going to use your existing gearbox.

[mr2--mad]

correct same gearbox Waitakere drift stages for life

The way it was worded I wasnt sure if he meant the motor type...eg Gen1 mr2 motor type ( the motor being a 3sgte,meaning a gen 1 3sgte) and the car being a gen 2 sw20...etc etc...but now he know the answer so its irrelevent

[Adamal]

Gen1 mr2 motor type ( the motor being a 3sgte,meaning a gen 1 3sgte)

Ahhh ah ah ah.... The first generation of 3S engines was before the SW20 came along. The first generation of SW20's received the second generation of 3S's.

[Akane]

that Akane guy has a Gen 1 MR2 engine in his Gen 2 MR2, so I don't see what the problem is, he did have to change some of the sensor's over though.

Exactly!!!Thats what no_8wire was trying to say...If he was talking about gen1 for the motor type, he would be chucking in the wrong one!


ah that feels better...

Adamal is pretty sure that no_8wire was talking about the engine out of a Gen 1 SW20

[mr2--mad]

i never new aw11s came out with 3s engines, opps(i think thats where we went on a tangent )
i saw a site somewhere that said my frame number sw20 0068265 was in the range of gen 2 cars (it has original 3sgte (not for long))

the reconditioner im buying the engie off said he remembers the car being the rounder model mr2 so i think ill just buy it and see if all the little holes line up

Thanks everyone
