Can I turbo my na Mr2 it's an sw20

[S7A7ICsx]

I have recently bought my mr2 I've been told that I it's a Japanese in port. It's an sw20 3sge it's the one with 175bhp is there a turbo kit available for it and if so where from?????

[peteV6R5]

if you want a turbo do an rear clip change (engine, gearbox, shafts, hubs,ecu) or buy a turbo.
compression is one of the issue.
but yes you could turbo it,
ecu is none programmable so you cant have it mapped to suit.

your choice .

if you do then keep us informed what stage you are at etc

Didn't really want to do engine swap haven't got time or space and tools for that, is there any mechanics in Suffolk area that could????

[jimGTS]

Sell the car
Buy a turbo model

[madbasshunter]

There is a supercharger kit going to be available here is a link to the Facebook page

For the cost a mate of mine was quoted for a turbo swap recently you could buy a more than half decent turbo model.

Go answer the question yes you can bolt on a turbo kit to the n/a how long it would last and the overall boost in power might not be as much as you hope then you have the cost, it’ll be the standalone and nappy which will rack up the cost.

As for the swap it’s about as easy as you can get for an engine swap the wiring can be a little tricky but it’s not complex once again your going to be 1000-1500 to do the swap

I'm defo going do engine swap now going pull car off the road in the new year...

Here's a parts list on this page for what you'll need

Ofcourse it is possible the issues are some thoe.

You would want a new ECU to tune the engine
Knock the 3sge have high compression so you will need to deal with this while charging.
Best way convert to e85

im thinking about going for something like this instead on my

less plumbing and easie to enable disable =)

even if this works,
do the maths,
The battery is 84v and 2.2Ahr.
The motor pulls 7000 watts
when at full boost = 84 amps (7000w / 84volts)
less than 2 mins to flatten the battery
you would need a bigger alternator to refill the battery on full boost.
just a thought.
yes I know it would not be full current draw all the time, but it would still be substantial. And still need replacing from an alternator.
it is still cheaper to do a turbo / V6 conversion

Looks like Vapourware to me!

I did for my driving full boosts seldom last more than 10s and then the time for a new period is often longer. so 2 minuts is plenty. Bigger alternators are not that expensive and will be upgraded if needed
but i suspect that it wont. And thats on the small tracks we have here for trackdays, on daylie drives well then it will be used very seldom only for a quick overtake.

"it is still cheaper to do a turbo / V6 conversion"
maybe in the uk but where i live a legal swap is not cheap with all the extra inspections and rebuild needed. And they will notice a v6 instead of a v4 in the requierd yearly inspection.

this method is easy to hide and disable.

Have a look at this video (from the arcsuperchargers home page).

Go to 1:08 and you'll see their 1988 Mercedes 300E test mule.
Race proven, too.

Until they get a viable product to market (which I doubt), it's all pie in the sky.
Even then I would want to see independent before and after dyno figures.
Pending that, find something better to spend your spare $2300 on.

Just how do you propose to 'hide' that fecking great lump of metal?
I hope you are not seriously contemplating buying into this 'supercharger'.
If you are I think you're in danger of living up to your username.

Back to the OP. Yes, it's possible but it would be a pointless and expensive exercise.
If it wasn't, loads of people would have already done it. That they haven't is proof enough.

As has been said, there are two options.
Either do a 3S-GTE conversion (which has been done many times: my T2 is one)
Or do as jimGTS suggested: sell the n/a and buy a turbo.
