    Sounds great 👍The MK3 is now starting to get the plaudits it deserves. Owned my 2zz swap for 3 years now and it still puts a smile on my face every time I drive it. It gets LOTS of attention at the track too, as it punches well above its weight and surprises much more powerful machinery.

    2zz power. The MK3 MR2 and Celica soooo underrated it's criminal. Both had the 1zz and 2zz can fit the MR2 and when it does you get results like yours. Both cars so light that the power that comes from the engine makes a massive difference. Glad you loved your new engine.

    Coming from 1.8 MX-5 NB to MR2 MK3 made me realise that MR2 is on a whole different league! Forget handling, the rust alone is good enough reason not to invest anything into the MX-5. As for the lift off, I feel like going to the moon mate, feels like I'm sitting front of the rocket! Unbelievable and undiluted experience. Hope to see you at the national meetup one day pal, take care!

      Hey mate, Is there a forum/website I should look to try to buy one who already had the swap done. Club members take good care of their cars.
      Thanks!

      @bugattieb110ss ปีที่แล้ว

      Disagree completely. I have a Mk1 MX5 1.6 with a few minor mods to exhaust and uprated brakes from a 1.8, all ridiculously cheap to do. Bought an MR-S from a friend and drove them back to back and the MX is a much better handling car. I considered a 2ZZ conversion but it's thousands of pounds, putting it way in excess of £5k. A 1.8 VVTi engine swap is a fraction of the cost, if I chose that route.

      @@bugattieb110ss Congratulations! You just have proved yourself to be a bad driver. Ever wondered why all super cars, F1 and best handling cars are mid-engined? I guess not. Next time you drive an MR2, brake earlier than you'd do with your MX-5 and accelerate through the corners. It may sound strange but that's how you'll get to drive the MR2 properly. MX-5 would understeer while MR2 would rotate. MX-5 is safer (for bad drivers) in the rain, I give you that.

I rebuilt the 2zz engine before I swapped it, but unfortunately the engine broke due to low oil pressure. The oil pump was factory, now I will put a new engine again 2zz I am considering a variant to put an oil accumulator, (Accusump)Please write me how you solved the problem with low oil pressure and success with the car project is interesting :)
