sw20 n/a engine swap (help needed!)

Hi, I've had a sw20 90 model mr2 for the last 8 years. I have always wanted to keep the car as original as possible apart from some handling and performance mods. My engine has expired so I'm looking to possible chuck a gen111 turbo or beams red top in it. Any advice and or places to call to find the cheapest and trust worthy place to buy a conversion from would be greatly appreciated. Geoff

we are happy to help. you have listed 2 totally different conversions, both of which have different postivies and negatives.
both need substantial re-wiring but the turbo needs mathcing gearbox, alxes, hubs etc as well. 
BEAMS MR2 "kits" are unbelievably rare , but we dont have much hassle fitting a grey top Caldina BEAMS engine and you can keep your current gearbox, axles etc 
depending  how much work you do yourself, cost might be similar
perhaps call me once you do some research. suggest you try to drive the 2 types of cars and make a choice. Terry

the V6 requires a complete turbo driveline & brakes. fantastic to drive once fininshed, but big $ if you are starting with an early NA car. expect to spend anything from $13-$15k ( a few options).
 
the BEAMS conversion is relatively simple and you will love it. getting a complete or near complete engine package is a bit troublesome, but they do exist. expect to spend around $8k-$9k
 
A Gen 3 turbo conversion is a nice result and cheaper than either of above IF we can find a good half-cut . getting hard to find ex japan and  most of them now have very high KM's and/or damage, requiring expensive repairs before fitting.  The last one we did was $8k but we transferred EVERYTHING from a factory car (not a half-cut), so we di not have to chase little expensive parts like different throttle cables, dash cluster etc
 
I can do a a low km Gen 3 NA engine conversion for $5k
 
usually comes down to your budget. best to phone me.
