What I hope you get is a 2gr but with an ECU that can take advantage of the better intake and exhaust you have. The stock ECU does the job but it's still a sienna map :(

You could try Luke at Pacific works in Dunstable, not sure he's done any, Pete at SBits did Karl's car last year but Paul at Woodsport does the most.

All three are highly regarded.

I've sent Pacific works an email a few days ago but I haven't heard back from them I'm also waiting on Peter to get back to me. I Haven't spoke to Paul at woodsport yet but that's only because he's a 4 hour drive away

I would say to phone Luke and probably the same for Pete - busy guys don't always have time to check emails and forums and because they're good they're always busy!

Yeah I know I'm usually the same but I don't want to pester them too much as I'm not in a huge rush. No one likes it when your trying to work and everyones phoning you for something that needs doing after christmas

There's also Headcover -affiliate on here who completes v6 conversions too :thumleft:

Wow that's impressive and I thought I was busy with a 6 week lead time for my jobs

Also thanks for the offer of advice I'm sure I'll be definitely taking you up on that at some stage

What sort of costs are involved for a 2GR-FE swap? I'm also presuming it will be a lot heavier on fuel as well.

Sure paul will correct me but it's around 8-9 grand for a drive in drive out 2gr swap or about 5-6k for a diy swap.

No idea on a 2gr mpg but my 3vz v6 as a daily averages 27-28mpg id expect a 2gr to equal that or better but as most 2gr's are weekend toys id imagine they are used in anger when used and as such the mpg are lower

Pretty accurate costs Chris, expensive buggers but the ultimate engine in an Mr2.

I spotted that also. Does seem to be missing the intake and various other things. More like a long block assembly rather than a complete unit.

One thing I have noticed is these V6's are quite low revving which is a surprise. That or it's just the speedo's out of calibration.
