I've been wondering about V6's and how their paper work works?! lol
Obv you would have to inform insurance but...
You would have to inform the tax office of the engine swap?
What if you didn't?
Would they check this at the MOT centre?
If your car wasn't down as a 3.0 on the tax book would you fail an MOT because of this?
If no to the questions above could you just pay the normal mr2 tax or would u have to pay the higher tax band as its a bigger engine?!


I would think you would be in diffs if you didn't disclose it and get a revised V5. It wouldn't affect your car tax as it is based on the old system and is one price for 1500cc+ not like the more recent (totally unfair) emissions based system.

I would think that, if you didn't update the paperwork, you could have problems come a claim on your insurance as well.

MOT would probably be OK in that the car would pass, but you might find it is oid 'cause the car is different what your V5 says

Hi guys

Hope you are well, nearly forgot about this site in my winter hibernation

Car is gathering dust in the garage I'm afraid as it looks like I haven't the spare cash to insure her this year. Tempted to sell her if I got the right price, otherwise I'll just hold on to her as I know I'll never get the money thats been put into her.

I'll be in touch again soon when I have a bit more time

Would you be able to shed light on any of my questions GWrinkle, or have any advice in regards to an MR2 with a V6 transplant?

Cheers for the response, if the KC button was viewable I would send some your way.
Who are the two companies in NI that will quote for these cars?

No problem. Greenlight and AdrianFlux. I used Greenlight, they are very familiar with this conversion and give the most competitive quotes

Just wondering if anyone has any links to a 3VZ Turbo project thread?
I've been looking through this one tonight...
www.twobrutal.co.uk/forum/showthread.php...hoozy-s-Mk2-V6-TURBO!
Tis crazy!
Posting it here for future reference.
I was 30pages deep after submitting this post, I just read on and found that this was abandoned

Here's another one for you and a home build.

Hmmm, V6 Twin Turbo

Cheers Slip.
Do you know of any where they've put the turbo on top of the gearbox as opposed to a boot mount?
I've read that for piping reasons etc its better to do a boot mount but I don't like the idea of cutting up an MR2 like that, even if it is for more horsies!

JohnnyG's 5ZV Turbo[

Holy Mary Mother thats a big IC lol
See he's gone through the boot wall as well to hold that fridge of an IC in there.
I've been thinking about doing this but if I did i'd want everything in the engine bay, i'm not looking for huge power like that, just looking for an upscaled version of a 3SGTE, in 3VZ form and still reliable and where i didnt have to go changing everything to support the fecker.
Been looking for something that matches this to go on but so far I havent found anything like this.

There is nothing easy about turboing the 3vz engine as it is N/A in its natural habitat. I have not seen a succesful one completed yet. But their is hope still with Hmmm's build.

TwoBrutal is a dangerous place to visit as it will give you notions and ideas you never tought relevant like a Mrk I V8's, Audi and Toyota engined, 3.5 Ltr V6's all marques, Diesel Mr2's, airplane engined Mrk II's, taking LSD's from spyders and putting the into Mrk II N/A gearboxes as plug and play, also lots of other mad stuff.

Here is one of interest if you are considering going V6. Woodsport & Dan are developing a s/charager kit for the 3VZ which will most likely be plug and play if you are only looking for about 6 PSI.

However nothing on TwoBrutal is off the shelf, you have been warned.
