[Mk2] [Turbo] Caldina engine swap

Post by speedygonzales »

Hi there

im writing you from Germany ,sorry for my english.
Im planing an engine swap on my MR2, i choosed the Caldina engine!
As far as im informed,the swap itselfe is no big challange,but wiring the engine is Hard i have been told ,my question would be,
Is there anyone who sells an Adapter or something this direction?
I read that the ST165 wiring should fit,is that tru and what is an ST 165.
I have an toyota MR2 Turbo gen 2 ,its also an swap from an non turbo.

Please Help ;)

hi welcome to the forum :thumleft: The best place (i believe) to get this answer is another forum whose members have done this swap

a couple of people have done this very swap and there is plenty of info contained within. I think they also call the caldina engine the Gen4, hope this helps :D
