Mr2 k20 project
Hi guys ,
I'm looking to do a k20 big turbo conversion on one of my mr2's, Anyone know who would be best to talk to workshop wise or backyard guru in Australia. .or preferably in the canberra /sydney region.
I'm talking with a few local workshops ..but thus far mr2's are a little scary to them. Looking to do a similar set up as racelabs mr2 for those familiar
Any advice would be appreciated

Waiwong has done a K24 turbo on his Spyder, so he or his mechanic would be good to talk too.

Keen to see a build thread for this, I will be watching with great interest. Do you have a K series yet? If not it may be worth checking out these guys: http://m.kmodperformance.com/They look to have some nice crate motor options and also check out: http://www.huxracing.com/They do mounting kits for the K series into the MR2, will be good to see an SW20 in Aus with a turbo K series.

Thanks nik ! , ill get a few pics up once underway . Haven't got the engine yet , Iv got x2 black trd widebodys complete being vimal's old car for those who know it (going to make x2 of these, i saved a few American build threads looking at either a k20a2 or a z1 , guess I'll talk it over with the builder but yeah going the full hog .. cage , albins or ppg box and lots of boost. Probably just get a stock motor working before getting a full sleeve crate motor from the yanks as you mention.
Just looking round for the right builder!
Stay tuned !;)

Hi waiwong , yeah both are sw20's a 90 and 91 models , looking at running round 900hp -1100 mark full song, any advise is appreciated. .. just got a email back from Hux Racing , who rekons not an issue for their mount kit to be used on a rhd sw20 , racelabs in the states tabbed up their own kit using a porsche mount I think... did you use a kit?

BYP in sydney have been itching to get there hands on a sw to preform a kswap on , benny and jimmy are probably some of the most knowledgeable k series builders in Australia. they did the beams swap for me in my MR2 and i cant fault their work.

Finally after approx 7 years just putting some mojo performance coil packs on the supra and turning up the boost on the t8838gk. Be interesting to see if these little mr2's can move in the same way;)

The BYP boys have been hounding me at every track day to k-swap my sw20! I was set on doing a 2gr but I'm almost convinced to do a k24 now. Won't be for at least another 6-12 months but will do an engine swap eventually. If you end up doing this I'll be very interested to see how it goes.

Hi adrian, I'm going to hit up byp lads in the next few days, this project is definitely a go ahead. Also for the 3s boys , I will be selling off x2 forged 3sgtes , one with a hillclimb set up tte gearset (very short) and aquamist meth set up. The other forged with a garret mk24 and manifold. The mk24 set up I have flows around 700hp.
