I know most people would rather drive Skylines and Supras, but I’ve always had a thing for the SW20 Turbo... And eventhough it’s sold everywhere around the world, I never got to drive until yesterday. Well, it’s now done and guess what... I really like them!
!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!
Very stable car, not at all tricky like some people often mention them and it looks quite good at that! Boot space is also impressive for such a small car. Anyway, this one is going to Pensylvania! Now I want more though...

How hard can it be to swap the manifolds on this?

MR2 GTi?? Is that how they are called in Europe??

The GTi was the one with the 3S-GE and 156hp, the base model had the 3S-FE with 138hp.
No Turbo for Europe

Oh.... yeah it’s quite less than what the turbo makes in Japan... it’s around 220hp but a mere boost controller can get it up to 280hp or more safely...

I’m a huge AW11 fan but there’s a lot to like about the SW20 too - especially with that much go

Nah, never... Never had a crash period actually (spun out tons of times on track and in places where I could afford spinning out though lol)... Once someone ran a red light and killed my Mustang. It’s all I’ve ever had in term of accident. :)

And I never drove a AW11 either! Sadly don’T think I will anytime soon... These are quite expensive in Japan and dirt cheap in the US so I can’t really buy one.

Yes, but I think a complete engine swap might be easier ^^

I can also ship you a complete car with the BEAMS engine already installed! Doesn’t get much easier than that haha

I should really check how to get a JDM car registered in Germany

And once it’s registered in Germany, you could maybe sell it to a “friend” in France who would sell it back to you later on :)
