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 600 horsepower. Made by a top UK motorsport driveshaft manufacturer to our specs, and uses very strong OEM VW/Audi inner CVs (Audi TT 225) and Toyota Rav4 outer CVs (much larger and stronger than stock MR2, but identical fitment), they are super strong heat treated shafts, and thanks to OEM off the shelf CVs, they are easy and cheap to purchase and fit the CVs yourself. 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. (PLEASE NOTE- Due to manufacturing cost increases, rather than increase our price, we now supply the driveshafts only, not the CVs, which means you also have a much lower shipping cost for these items, and you can purchase the CVs locally for £15-20 each. We can advise on exactly which parts to use, and they are very easy to fit also).
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. As with almost all turbo setups on these cars, battery relocation to the front is needed to create space, but this is VERY simple on these cars, and improves both weight distribution and access, so we consider it a plus point. 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 £850-900 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 an option of either a bumper exit tailpipe (which is very popular as it looks fantastic) or a sleeper style under the bumper angled exit tailpipe. This system is high flowing enough for big power (500bhp+ if required) yet quiet enough to be fine as a daily driver and also pass track day noise regulations. The price is £800 for the main system, then you have a choice of 3x tailpipes, each at £50 each, which you can purchase 1, 2, or all 3. These tailpipes are all totally interchangeable and are v-band fitment. We have the 'sleeper' style cat-less exhaust that exits at an angle under the bumper. We have the ever popular bumper exit tailpipe. And last but not least we have a 400cell catalytic converter for emission testing purposes, which exits in the same position as the 'sleeper' tailpipe.
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.
Wire reinforced silcone cold air intake, inc K&N filter. £350 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 on a 1.8T swap. This intake is made from flexible wire reinforced silicone, identical to how many turbocharged race cars have always had their intakes, and makes for a cost effective solution. See below if you want a stainless steel version.
Custom 3inch hand fabricated stainless steel cold air intake, inc K&N filter. £550 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 on a 1.8T swap. This intake is custom made from 3in 316 stainless steel.
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 1.8T and VR5/6 to Mk3 MR2 adapter loom £450 including throttle pedal loom (£400 without) The downfall of so many engine conversions is so many factory components no longer work properly, but that is not the case with our swaps! Our swaps keep everything fully operational, the entire dashboard, OBD2, all ABS and PAS functions, check engine light, and more. No add on boxes are needed to trick the car in to functioning properly, as with our adapter room the factory VW/Audi ECU will to plug in to the factory MR2 body/chassis loom and the car will operate as standard.
Alternator/Starter/Fusebox power wire for 1.8T and VR5/6 swapped MR2s £30 This is a small but VERY useful addition to our range. This is a 3 way flexible silicone power cable, made to connect directly the rear fuse box, the starter motor, and the alternator, completing the power circuit without needing to make anything custom or adapt factory 1.8T or MR2 parts which are often old and aren't a direct fit.
De-Immobilised and remapped 1.8T BAM-spec ECU £250 To run a 1.8T engine on the factory VW/Audi ECU in the non-factory vehicle you need it de-immobilised, and while you're at it you may as well increase the power a little (Likely 260-270bhp and similar torque) with a 'Stage1' remap, intended for otherwise standard BAM-spec engines.
Shallow OR baffled sumps- £300 While the standard 1.8T alloy sump is a nice design and the engine has a windage tray as standard, for particularly low cars, or for cars used hard on track, we have a couple of other options. For cars that are particularly low we can offer a shallower than factory sump with a steel bottom, and for track cars we can supply a modified version of the factory alloy sump, complete with baffled and one way trap doors to keep the oil by the pickup even during high-G cornering, and also includes a thick aluminium bash plate welded to the bottom for added protection.
Race spec 316 Stainless Steel rear subframe to suit all Mk3 MR2s £1500 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, including "Bump steer" and many instability issues under hard acceleration. 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 and stability 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.
