    Sorry this video took so long, let's just say i learned a ton about video editing during this video. Unfortunately these were lessons learned by making mistakes that weren't always easy to fix. The audio in particular leaves a bit to be desired in a few spots.
    The positive thing is i picked up bracketry to use my go pro as a video source in many more tight spots (it happens right after the fuel tank is reinstalled in the video)
    That's led me to some discoveries about multi-angle video editing and it really does make things way better to be able to switch things over to a better angle when i start pointing to something that isn't properly visible.
    I've also re-framed a few shots and it's obvious that a 4k or at least a 2.7k camera as a primary camera would be way better than this 1k camera i'm currently using. I'm happy with 1k output but shooting in 1k means there's no room at all to pan, zoom and rotate in post processing when necessary. So yeah, I guess I'll start saving some money for even more recording gear.
    My main lights work well but i need more small clip-on lights for when i'm working in confined spaces. Especially now that the go-pro lets me film in those spaces.

    Ok a few things i learned when doing mine and from others.
    1. You do not need to take the AC lines off (just unbolt where they are mounted and they will move out of the way.)
    2. you do not need to unhook the Fuel Line at the flair Nut. (you can take 2 bolts off the line and un-bolt the line at the banjo nut on the bottom of the fuel filter. wish i had done that)
    3. You do not need to use the Drain plugs on the coolant lines (seeing they can brake off) just un-hook the rubber hoses and drain in to a Bucket.
    4. like Marty at MCM make sure you check your fuel return line in the old cars in can be plugged and you have to drop the tank again.
    5. make sure you test the pump out before putting the tank back in. (mine had not been plugged all the way in and i had to drop it again.)
    6. i had cleaned all the leads and ground contact points in the tank might check them on the outside also. and make sure you get the wires in the hole so you do not pinch them between the tank and the floor and have to drop the tank a 3rd time. (almost happened to me.) Hope this helps Others. and thanks for the video.

    @raho4036 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Even though I don't own a mr2 but I love your videos on the 2gr-fe builds. Apart from the crappy cylinder lining design of the 2gr I strongly believe it does not have the due respect in the tuning world as it deserves hence probably why the aftermarket support is so weak. I did have my fare share of owning various 4 bangers and now I own a 08 sienna, yes, family man constraints. I plan to turbo it for a little fun in the future so I cannot wait for more videos of this build when you boost it. I have researched much on the ecu options and it doesn't leave very much room other than going stand alone to keep it safe in moderate boost levels. In the perfect world would be to configure the stock ecu to do some magic and keep everything else in my van happy. 😉 Thank you for these content; very insightful and rare on the TH-cam platform. Keep up the awesome work. Long live the 2grs!

    • @FrankensteinMotorworks
      @FrankensteinMotorworks  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I absolutely agree, the 2GR does not get the respect it deserves but that's honestly a fair statement across most of the Toyota line. They make some pretty nice drivetrains and other than the supra stuff it really just does not get the attention it should. I'm trying to make a small difference in that.
      Also, technically the sienna did come with a 2.7L 1AR-FE option but it is very rare. It is also a pretty neat motor though.

Will a full stand alone work well along side the stock ecu. Intercepting and tricking type piggyback ecu is not a very smart option for obvious reasons.

      Logan, just get under it first to see if it has a bunch of surface rust that will be problematic. Many MR2s leaked a ton of oil from the factory so they have a good anti-rust coating.

    • @stevethecarguy
      @stevethecarguy 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Frankenstein Motorworks for the advice! luckily it’s in GA and it doesn’t look too rusty at all. The only reason I’m considering it is because it was parked with 20k miles on it. I’d like to restore it and put a 3sgte or v6 in it, but want to make sure that it’s a doable project and I’m not just won over with the low miles.

Three in the engine bay fuse box (both connectors and the power post), the connector that goes to the stock ECU from the body harness and the connector that sits right below the stock ECU.

      Fitting the stock catalytic converters in the SW20 will require some tweaking but it can be done. The issue that comes up is they don't fit in 100% stock shape which makes it invalid for a California CARB legal build but as long as you only need the equipment but you don't need to match the stock equipment location you'll be perfectly fine.

      Many places in europe tax cars by displacement so it just does not make sense to put 3.5L engines in a bunch of cars because it raises the price by too much. In the USA, putting a 3.5L engine in a car just makes it more likely to sell so we had an absolute pile of these made over here.

I can get VAG V6 or BMW inline-6 for almost nothing here in comparison to engines like the 2GR, a K-series(3.000-5.000€) or even the 2AR-FE(prices range from 1500-3000€ roughly)
