Swap..?or Not

Postby Will's MR2 » Wed Feb 24, 2010 7:28 pm

Hello everyone i have a question i have a 93 Toyota Mr2 I GOT IT AS AN 2.2L but tried to do a motor swap to an 2.0T however the turbo engine has turned out to not have any compression, so im left with a choice should i try to rebuild the 3sgte engine or should i just buy an 5sfe engine(btw im not very mechanically inclined so i don't know per-say why the 3sgte doesn't have compression. Thank You

Ok let me ask questions first...
1. has the electrical been swapped? if yes, then keep the 3sgte and fix it.
2. when you say no compression? what do you really mean? which cylinder? how you know that is the problem? who did the swap? etc...
3. have you done the swap or not? not sure based on the post.. if not, then fix the 5sfe. and keep the 3sgte and also fix it with time, youll need the ecu, wirring, etc... transmission, hubs. axles, etdc. I hope you knew that already...
