V6 MR2 - Who's done it or researched it?
V6 MR2! Any one done it? Let's get a discussion going on the topic. In particular I am interested in MKII, but we can talk MKI also.
Please don't post replys asking why we would consider such a thing since 2.0 turbo fours are capable of 400-something HP. Raw power #'s are not the point here.
Here is my brief list of engine candidates:
92-94 3VZE 3.0L Your basic iron block Camry motor
92-? 5VZE 3.4L Longer stroke version of the 3VZE for trucks mainly
96-up 1MZ 3.0L Alum. block Camry and Lexus motor. I believe late ones have variable valve timing.
Does anyone know if the 3VZE/5VZE would bolt on to the 5SFE tranny?
V6's from other manufacturers could be considered such as the new Maxima motor; the old Yamaha-Taurus SHO V6 (big intake plenums would be into the seat and trunk, but capable of big high-rpm power); the Mitsubishi 3000GT/Stealth V6 (hugh power capability and fairly compact, but twin turbos might cook things); the GM 92-96 3.4L 4-cam 60-deg V6 (very compact and 215hp, but it's American).
