JDM motor on mr2 turbo 91-95????????
Hi!
I wanna buy a MR2 turbo 93 or higher...
Everybody who have one seems to have swap the engine for a JDM motor... I don't really know it. Is it better??
Please tell me what you think about those engines.

Why do you want a 93+?
Most people do NOT swap engines for the JDM and I do not recommend it.

If it's already turbo, don't do the jdm turbo swap.
All that'll get you is... not passing smog.

Rebuild it or get another USDM engine.

Re: JDM motor on mr2 turbo 91-95????????
why bother going to the extra expense of an HKS turbo over a Garrett?
i'd go with a TRD supercharger anyway (lol or whoever makes them)

GAH a 95?!
Do NOT mod that, it's a rarity among rarities.
