man if a i-4 is a squeeze than i dont see how a i-6 will... you know what is a sweet swap 3rd gen rx-7 with 2jz in it mhhhmm.. toyota and mazda meet to make sweet lovin.... i just think thatd be a hard swap but im a newb so i duno

I don't think thats physically possible. the I-6 is pretty long and the tranny comes off the back end of the motor. capared to the transaxle of the 3sgte

no. it's not possible. anyone who says it is is full of crap.

Doesn't seem plausible...unless maybe you reworked the drivetrain geometry to a FR car...still doesn't seem like it would work, and if it did you'd be looking at some serious bucks. That much power in a car that small would be hard to hook up though, especially if you had and significant mods on the supra motor.

***MRQtwinturbo*** · 01-10-2006, 12:56 PM

why bother when the 3sgte has proved that it can make big power....

JekylandHyde · 01-10-2006, 01:02 PM

Even with extending the rear of the car it would be nearly impossible.
It's much more ligical to use a more compact V8 like the Norstar or the Lexus.

There are MR2 second-gen race cars in Japan that wree modified to fit the Lexus V8s:

WOW looks very NSXish ^_^

If you want a supra motor, get a supra. 3SGTE is a great motor, even the popular V6 swaps don't interest me at all.

JekylandHyde · 01-10-2006, 06:36 PM

It's funny ... there are a couple of Supras with 3SGTEs in them

Well, thats because you havent riden in my V6 MR2. I built it because I want supra power levels but I dont like the way the supra drives. Plus those cars are WAY overvalued in the current market.

Maybe if you put the motor in the front, but good luck with that.
