It's finally time to get the MR2 running again! This time, with a different engine. I'm dropping in a 2AR Toyota engine from a Toyota Camry. This engine was built for fuel efficiency, but we're going to tweak it a bit, and use it's own engineering against it, to double the horsepower output!

Awesome, thanks for giving me the opportunity to help you with your MR2!

@iwantoffroad Год назад

Love the content can you explain the reason why you need to upgrade the shifter detent why isn’t the stock one already like the one you installed is it because it’s a cable shift I like understanding all the behind-the-scenes

@FrankensteinMotorworks Год назад

@@iwantoffroad The factory applications for this transmission use a reverse lockout inside the cabin. this makes that lockout mechanism unnecessary since you can now feel the 1-2 rail

@iwantoffroad Год назад

@@FrankensteinMotorworks thank you Is it possible to get both Feel 1-2 and get a reverse lock out

@s.ol.5511 Год назад

This is awesome to see you get some exposure! I follow your channel and as soon as I saw the build, I thought of Frankenstein Motorworks. Love to see some of Toyota's engines that aren't as prevalent in the tuner community get some love too!

@georgebishop9898 Год назад

Love how y’all make sure to highlight people/shops throughout the builds instead of just saying here’s finished project. Love the channel fella keep up good work!

@kadesmith5634 Год назад

Super cool build, love seeing OEM parts used in other platforms. Also, that is a lot of RTV…

Great way to clog a oil port.

so happy Mark was chosen to do a collab on your channel! he's been doing so much innovation for the mr2 community fueled entirely by passion. hope this helps his business take off to the next level

@philhodgson4752 Год назад

Decent of Russell Crowe to give you a hand with the engine..

@VertigoGTI Год назад

Glad to see Marc being featured in other channels! I’ve always been an MR2 fan and watching someone as skilled and knowledgeable as Marc improve this platform has been extremely gratifying.

@enesfazlic6017 Год назад

That is some Frankenstein work with camshafts dude. Sounda crazy. Cant wait to see it in action

@jamesashe Год назад

You can see Marc's MR-S race car in action on his channel. It's a beast with this motor.

@niftonline3466 Год назад

@alejandr0031 Год назад

Yess! I was hoping this would be the colaboration! Been following mark for a while as my next swap is going to be the 2AR. Hes done so much research and such a cool down to earth guy.

@Angel_Ghr Год назад

I thought it was a bug walking around the engine at 9:47 but realized it's just like a rubber part. Looks like done in purpose xD

@jamesashe Год назад

I took a second look at that too. I think it's just a lightweight piece of debris getting pushed by a fan.

@james94582 Год назад

Was very surprised and glad to see Marc on this build.. As soon as they identified the 2AR in the previous video, I figured they'd be getting a lot of parts and information from Marc. He has done some amazing R&D, and look forward to seeing this build progress.. And will certainly be keeping my money collecting (very slowly) to do the engine/trans upgrade in my MR-S one day (hopefully in the very near future)!!.. The wiring will for sure be my major holdup on this route...

@bujin5455 Год назад

Marc of Frankenstein Motorworks is the single most knowledgable and honest car specialist I've ever worked, and by MILES. (And I've worked with a LOT of them.) It's great seeing him on a larger channel. If you have an MR2 and you're looking anywhere else first, you're making a mistake.

@SilverScarletSpider Год назад

4:28 this entire build is so fascinating to me because it was almost as if for 2 decades starting from the early 2000’s Toyota never had anything fun with a manual transmission that made over 200hp (other than the Lexus IS F), but here comes mark and ben creating a dream blunt rotation Toyota MR3 out of reused toyota partsbin/junkyard parts. even using a SCION TC’s manual transmission, the car that used to consistently lose comparison tests and drag races to the Toyota Corolla XRS, Honda Civic Si, Acura Integra Type S, Toyota Celica GTS, Kia Forte Koup SX, Chevorlet Cobalt SS, Saturn Ion Redline, and Dodge Neon. bravo.

@Khaki_wrx Год назад

I only recently found out about Mark from the previous video and going through his Instagram, there’s so much awesome stuff that he makes! Can’t wait for this MR2 to be a running again!

@SkinnyMode. Год назад

Just what I needed this morning!

@ASV9399 Год назад

Mark is a genius. I first saw his genius at work when the Throtl team was building their mr2 with the camary v6. Really exited for this build. 🔥🔥🔥

@peopleschampgarage7869 Год назад

How the hell did Mark figure this out? Smart dude 😎👍

@Wilbure Год назад

He's definitely a smart dude and knowledgeable guy, but I reckon most of that stuff is just figured out by trial and error, and having the passion and time to play around with it. Like he said he used that motor on his lemons car, so while he was working on that over the years I'd say he just noticed things that he could improve or things that would be cool and did them piece by piece. Then after a while of doing small improvements he probably stepped back and was like "huh this is actually really legit" and could be great for the application outside of his lemons car. He would have made some parts by that point one off for his car, and known about pricing and availability of the engines and transmisisons etc. So not to speak for him, even though I guess that's what I'm doing, it probably just came together with work over time. Yeah he had to be smart to come up with the ideas and such, but I'd say his passion and just playing around with the stuff was responsible for most of it.

@HotBoiRicer Год назад

@@Wilbure Frankenstein Motoroworks is his youtube. If you’re genuinely interested he’s posted content on his original motor for YEARS.

@FrankensteinMotorworks Год назад

@@Wilbure You're mostly correct here except the 2AR-FXE was specifically born because once the 2AR started making power i started getting harassed by the K folks about "it's too expensive" so i set out to find a configuration of OEM parts that would make 220whp or more for under $1000. i ended up at 230whp and right at $1000. But yeah, this is years if just poking around with it. I've been racing with the 2AR-FE since 2009. It's a fantastic motor

@jameswedding9635 Год назад

I'm so insanely happy to see this collaboration! I've been following Marc's channel Frankenstein motorworks for awhile and I've been suggesting this since you bought the MR2 🤘

This colab video was everything I was hoping for and more. I cannot wait for the next one! 👍

@thersanothersidetome Год назад

Mark and this video in general with all the explanations of the unique quirks on this engine really makes you appreciate the amount of innovation that Toyota jammed into these hybrid engines -and somehow they’re still bulletproof reliable. Beautiful from an engineering standpoint really.

@tkskagen Год назад

Love to get a "Before Swap" and "After Swap" comparison on Vehicle Weight and Weight Distribution. As everyone else is thinking, "if only I had the money, space and a Mark"! I still miss my 1986 MR2 that I added a SUPERCHARGER to... Loved that "Square Wedge Lifestyle.

@andrewwarman9826 Год назад

@reefsharkmini Год назад

Really enjoy the videos you guys put up on the channel, they are always really well shot and edited. Plus whenever you have someone on who really knows their stuff you just let them talk through it and don't dumb it down. Keep up the good work probably my favourite automotive RU-vid channel. 👍

THIS COLLAB IS AMAZING!!! I’ve been following Marc for YEARS. Marc’s absolute genius and he’s moving mountains in the Scion and 2AR market. Mad respect to y’all. I’m so excited for this!

@saucyp123 Год назад

Big props for going and getting the freon depleted properly! 🌎

@macaron3141592653 Год назад

This is one of the coolest engine swaps I have seen. Not because its a weird combo, like an LS7 in a minivan or something, but because all of the extremely detailed work that's going into modifying the hybrid motor to make it more performance worthy.

@OwenBuckingham11 Год назад

I have a '14 Scion TC, it's so stout and a great daily. Such an underrated car, especially as a cheap but decent first manual car. I learned some cool stuff about the 2AR engine today! That detent for the 6 speed isn't needed stock since it has a reverse lock out on the shifter side. Love this build!

@RyanRiopel Год назад

Thank you!! I assumed it was related to the shifter having a lock out collar but that wasn't explained at any point.

@CorvetteStingray75 Год назад

At first, I was very skeptical about not using the 2zz even though power is hard to make without forced induction. But after seeing what Mark has done to the 2ar, I'm stunned!

@hmong_keeb_kwm Год назад

Right that's what I was thinking too. Most of these MR2 spider favorite engine swap is the 2zz and when he said that their using a camry engine I'm like WHAT.. But after watching this and seeing what he did to that engine is just pure knowledge and experience OMG I'm impress. But a MR2 spider 2zz swap is still the better and easier swap in mind but what their doing is also absolutely cool to see too. I'm really impress 👏 👏 👏
