What's going on in the Phoenix Tuning garage: AE92 20v swap

How much would such a swap cost? And how long did this process take? That looks bad ass.

Not bad at all, the engine can be had for around $1000 shipped. The installation is $700, and would take me probably 3 weeks if all went well. There are a few extras, a custom power steering setup, throttle cable, exhaust hookup, etc, that usually comes to around $500. So you're looking at it all done at about $2200. If you need it converted from auto to manual like this one, then add another $400 for parts and labor.

yep.... looks like a 20V

within a week or so (given that my moving doesn't take too long) i'm gonna help a friend get his 20V running (finally...... an ecu with only 2 of the 3 plug is hard to wire up *rolls eyes*) in his mr2.... and on megasquirt.... we're hoping for around 130-140whp on the stock longblock just by eliminating the afm & stock ecu

Congrats -- I remember an empty engine bay only a few short weeks ago

Maybe I'll be able to help you out on the one after next..looks like I'll be in NH sometime in the last week of July

that's not a bad price..... but, 3 weeks is a bit long..... "custom" power steering should just bee an ae92 gts ps steup.... easily enough found.... throttle cable can be found from a first gen front wheel drive (the st165?) in any junkyard.... the cable is like 6' long.... more than you need..... and for like $3..... exhaust hood up..... any 4ag downpipe should fit....except for an ae86.... but any mr2/ae92 gts should work............

Hehe wish I had known that, I had a custom hose made!

I also grabbed a power steering resevoir from another car and made that work, since the one from the car is right on the pump itself. I suppose one from a an AE92 GTS would work too then.

Do you mean a 5th gen Celica throttle cable?

Also that's three weeks working two days a week...

damn, where you learn to do all this stuff? and do you recomend a school for others?

yeah.... the school of "get in your garage and start turning a wrench"

sorry, i was a little drunk when i posted that last post..... yes, i meant the first of the FWD celicas...... it's the same cable i used in my ae92
which can be seen in this picture:

the cable doesn't bolt up exactly the same, but it's very easy to make work

but who needs power steering or a/c anyways ...... i've been driving my mr2 and ae92 so long (w/o power steering), then i drove a v6 acura legend and i hated the PS, lol

stat hangin out w/ people who do this and take notes

i took auto classes before
dunno who else that im close to work on cars either.

yea.... i wana learn how to do shit too. but i dont kno 2 many people that kno wut theyr doin either
