Here's a snapshot of the various products and services we offer, along with our current price list. While we will soon create an online shop, allowing you to purchase products directly, for now you can order by emailing us at [email protected]
VW/Audi 1.8T, VR5, VR6, and 1.9TDI engine + trans mount kits- 6 speed 02M speed manual or DQ250 DSG £600 Our original and understandably most popular part, this is a full 4-mount kit to allow multiple VAG engine and transmission options to be directly bolted to the ZZW30 Mk3 MR2 chassis. Made from 316 stainless steel and billet aluminium, this kit is available to fit the 1.8 20V Turbo engine (zero cutting required, a pure bolt-in swap), 1.9TDI engine (again, bolt in swap), and the VR5 and VR6 engines inc R32 (modified bulkhead needed for better access, but otherwise bolt-in). This mounts the engine in such a way the engines are far easier to work on than both the factory Toyota engine or any of the other common engine swaps for these cars. All parts easily accessible and serviceable, cylinder head, manifolds, transmission, etc, all removable while leaving engine in-situ. The manual transmission uses the factory Toyota shift cables and gear lever mechanism, making for a very easy swap.
Custom Motorsport-spec VW/Audi to Toyota driveshafts £800 Our driveshafts allow all our VW/Audi tranmission conversion options to link directly to the factory Toyota rear hubs with no modification needed, and are well proven already on cars making over 500 horsepower. Made by a top UK motorsport driveshaft manufacturer to our specs, and uses OEM VW/Audi inner CVs and Toyota (albeit not MR2) outer CVs, they are super strong heat treated shafts, and thanks to OEM off the shelf CVs, they are easy and cheap to service should you require. These also bolt on without unbolting suspension components, allowing for a very fast fitment and removal, unlike the factory ones which require various suspension components to be removed to fit and remove the OE shafts.
Air-water chargecooler kit inc mounting bracket and boost pipes £800 Large air-water chargecooler proven on many 800bhp+ cars worldwide, with a custom alloy mounting bracket that fits to the OEM Toyota gearbox mount, all boost pipes to fit from the factory K04 turbo and factory inlet manifold (custom ones can be made to your needs if required), and flange to bolt the factory MAP sensor to. We can add a battery mounting bracket to the top of the chargecooler if you wish, otherwise a battery relocation to the front is needed. This is a kit that genuinely works and gives lower unlike so many of the utterly useless setups so commonly seen on these cars. (Note- We do not supply the water pump/lines/cooler as so many people have their own options for this, but we are happy to advise and show you what most purchase for this use)
1.8T swap 3inch (76mm) 316 stainless steel turbo back exhaust system, inc sports cat + de-cat pipe £800 Designed for the factory K04 turbo, this is using 316 true stainless steel unlike the poorer quality 304 of most aftermarket exhausts which still rust over time, and features a flex pipe, straight through silencer, and 400 cell sports cat and de-cat pipe. This system is high flowing enough for big power (easily 500bhp+ in de-cat form) yet quiet enough to be fine as a daily driver and also pass track day noise regulations.
Drive-by-wire throttle conversion pedal adapter bracket £40 This swap replaces the factory Toyota cable throttle with a much more sophisticated DBW throttle from a VW/Audi, and this adapter plate allows it to bolt up directly to the MR2 chassis in place of the stock pedal.
1.8T Coolant pipe swap components £150 While the factory MR2 cooling system is incredibly efficient, to make it work with a 1.8T needs a few small but clever changes, and that's what this kit allows to happen, making for a very easy and effective swap.
VW/Audi engine swap fuel system components £60 The factory Toyota fuel system is a non-return system, this allows you to convert it to a return system and includes the correct length fuel feed and return line to suit the factory VW/Audi fuel rails.
Custom 3in true cold air intake inc K&N filter for the 1.8T swap. £400 A big issue for MR2s and mid-engine cars in general is them sucking huge amounts of hot air due to air filter position, made worse by the fact the factory side ducts don't actually force any air in to the bay at all, despite how they look (tested and proven!). Our solution, which mounts the air filter and MAF sensor outside the engine bay for true ambient air, and has a 3in pipe going all the way to the turbocharger inlet. (NOTE- We are currently re-designing this setup and will be cheaper then also!)
Trigger wheel kit inc new crankshaft damper £200 A vital part of making these engine conversion work in the car like it was fitted to the MR2 from the factory, is this trigger wheel kit. This consists of a 316 stainless steel sensor bracket, brand new crank damper with custom trigger wheel and alternator belt to suit.
Custom hybrid wiring loom £600 if supply donor looms, £700 without To make the conversion as easy as possible a loom is available that allows the factory VW/Audi ECU to plug in to the factory MR2 body loom and have all the sensors and clocks and so on working like a factory car would. The loom is a hybrid of a factory 1.8T and MR2 engine loom, and is almost completely plug-in, with just a few wires left to connect which are supplied fully labelled for easy fitment. (NOTE- We are currently developing a patch loom to prevent the need for this, and save you money!)
Race spec 316 Stainless Steel rear subframe to suit all Mk3 MR2s £1250 While the Mk3 MR2 is a relatively rust-free car, the rear subframes are very susceptible to corrosion, and needing to replace them is relatively common. Another issue with these subframes is they are made of very thin metal and are somewhat flexible when used hard, especially with large power increases and much grippier than factory tyres. Any subframe flex will cause the steering geometry to change as 4 of the 6 rear arms are mounted to the subframe, which is generally the cause for any traction and handling issues people have, "Bump steer" etc. While many spend a great deal of time and effort with relatively ineffective braces and other modifications to try and solve this, our solution to both of these factors is this 316 Stainless steel rear subframe, which is a direct replacement for the OEM item, but is massively stronger and will literally never corrode, and this awesome looking and some would say "over-engineered" subframe solves any handling issues by preventing the geometry from changing from the fantastic factory setup by eliminating flex.
316 Stainless Steel motorsport uprated rear arms for all Mk3 MR2s £800 (Full set of 6) or £700 if purchased alongside the subframe To compliment the rear subframe, we have produced uprated rear arms to suit, using rose-joints instead of bushes for the ultimate in handling and ease of maintenance. The rose joints are contained within grease filled dust boots for a long life in road use, and are widely available to ease of servicing. Being 316 Stainless rather than the usual mild steel these arms will literally last for ever, look awesome, and are, in our opinion, the best rear arms available for these cars.
"SO HOW DO YOU FIT IT ALL?" We hear you ask? Well to solve that problem, we made THISwhole YouTube series, incredibly detailed, showing you the full swap, from start to finish. Although if you wish, we offer a Drive-In Drive-Out swap too! Drive-in Drive-out 1.8T, N/A VR5, and N/A VR6 swaps are available for £6000 plus the donor engine/gearbox. Turbo VRs and 1.8T builds to any spec you like, inc DSG gearboxes, can be done, but would need to contact for a price as can vary wildly depending on your requirements.
