Go for 2zz cams and standalone if you want more power you can add it later.

This makes sense

Ok, you've convinced me! I'll go for the 2zz with stage 2 cams and standalone ecu.

headcase did my one. cut an access panel into bulkhead

when putting my standard engine back in I remember thinking wish i had access from the bulkhead, would be well handy.

Did you see the Greddy sc I was looking at as an alternative?

How do you get round the issue of the gearbox being the wrong way round? I.e. in a corolla or celica the engine is at the front and gearbox goes back whereas in the 2 it's the other way round?

The mr2 is designed to accommodate the same engine the other way around. Not an issue

Absolutely! Bit of a no-brainer for them

I was disappointing with my compressor conversion in the MR2. perhaps i should have had the engine refreshed at the same time as it had done 155,000 miles. Now on refreshed engine with rotrex, thats another story...!

That's pretty high mileage mate, the engine I'm looking at has 68k on it. Out of curiosity anyone know the cost of a rebuild?

Is it worth it though...probably?

Different engine but same theory.
1mzfe.
Headcase had a rebuilt one in a MK2 noticeably better than the on in my mk3.
I would always recommend a rebuild. Wish I had it done when I bought it instead of supercharging would be on the road now rather than sitting about in pieces.

A rebuild should give you pretty much give you a new engine I suppose

If done correctly as good as new. Maybe better if you port and polish.
Most 2zz are run ragged it's well worth doing.

michaelb · July 29, 2018, 18:56

I might just do that before the conversion mate
