    A new side story mini series to accompany my AW11 MR2 project. My friend Zion has owned a mk2 MR2 (SW20), but blew his 5SFE engine from a rusty radiator. After almost a year of saving and searching, he found a 3SGE red top BEAMS engine that he plans on swapping in. So I'm here to film the process of what hopefully turns out to be a fun and successful project. This could either become a decent tutorial / guide of the swap, or a "what not to do".
    For part three, the car is finally back. We do a wash up, test drive, and exhaust tone recordings.

    Now that this little side series is pretty much over, I'd be open to possibly doing another one. If anyone in Western Washington has an upcoming project and is interested in having me film it, reach out on my Instagram or email (both listed in the description). Whether I film it is based on a few factors, but I'm curious what else is out there!
    Also, this isn't the last you'll see of the SW20. We are working on special video with it soon.

    This whole video was a great reminder of just how great SW20s look. Badass swap and I'm stoked to see he's got it running again. Based on my impressions of my AW11 so far, I feel like these cars are better suited N/A with revvy motors over forced induction.

      An AW11 is a badass driver's car. I drove a '98 SW20 Beams and a supercharged AW11 back to back. Both are awesome cars.

    Very good video, congratulations on finishing the BEAMS. I started my SW20 RedTop swap in April 2021, but doing a restoration. I've been stripping the rusty hardware and replateing over the summer. I plan on continuing the swap next month.
    After the MR2 I'm off to finish my '73 Fiat 850 I started with my son when he was 15. It was my car when I was 18, my first love of sports cars.

    I was thinking about selling my beam's back home, watching this just convinced me to wait.

    what are your thoughts on BEAMS engine instead of a gen 4/5?

    Beams sounds better than vtec

    • @justintowers8230
      @justintowers8230 Před 2 lety

      ya they do. the k20 sound very raspy. and these 3sge beams sound better than a b18 when revved to 8k (with standalone ecu)

  • @justintowers8230
    @justintowers8230 Před 2 lety

    ouch you got a bare engine. no original beams air box or the helical lsd. aghh. but you have a nice pheonix power header and sard air intake filter. ive been building my celica SS-III for 5 years now. still undone...

    Speedo could be because it’s electronic if it’s newer than 93.
    And isn’t compatible with the older mechanical Speedo on the trans , or vise versa
    Trans could be electronic speed sensor , while the Speedo cluster is mechanical.
