Thought my other car may interest some people on here.
Not a common engine conversion, think I'm the third in the uk to do it and I can see why as space is so tight. A lot of people don't see the point of putting an old engine in a newer car. The engine in question is out of a mk2 MR2 and is the 2.0 turbo. Rebuilt with forged pistons and running a conservative 280ish bhp at the moment until I sort a less restrictive exhaust out.
All the dials work as they should, had to run the standard ecu in tandem to keep the dash functions.
Great fun to drive and pretty quick weighing just over a ton.
