Thanks Eric! Pick a part has a black 86 MR2 with a crunched front, and a few 3vz Camrys, nothing too interesting.

OEM Supra Twin Turbo Pump install;

The real good stuff;

'09 2GR-FE, 3.5L V6 with a Gen3 LSD Turbo tranny
Between them is a Fidanza lightweight flywheel and ACT HDSS Clutch

If you are not familar with this engine, my reasons for the swap look like this;

...and this;
Gouky wrote:Yup, the 2GR-FE is what i pulled off the 13.1 second quarter mile with. keep in mind that was with 18" street tires and 3.625 final drive. the car definitely wasn't setup for drag racing. With the stock E153 and some better tires for drag racing, it would definitely shave enough to be in the very high 12's. Some weight reduction would go a long way also, my MR2 is still full weight.



I'm still in the process of installing it into the engine bay, and then there is some wiring, plumbing and exhaust, etc. Hopefully I can have this up and running within the next month.
