This Toyota MR2 is owned by Jason Senseney and the guy has been around the block a couple times now. That's right, this is his second LS-swapped MR2 and we're guessing he learned some lessons from the first go-around. Also, that first car was totaled, probably because some lessons really suck.

The owner is making a video series to document the build process, and has just gotten the car. Scantron's Garage started building a unique Toyota MR2 (SW20) 10 years ago. In that time the sports car has come a long way.

Any swap will get you further, a turbo build will flow much more, the car is lighter by a mile, aftermarket is far more plentiful, the cars are of much higher quality, the 2ZZ is a excellent engine either supercharged or turbo.

Jason did the fabrication and mechanics himself to bring this wild creation to life where we spotted it at Holley LS Fest 2020. In the inline 4 world the best engine seems to be the k20/k24 & has the largest aftermarket support. I believe the LS is the one for V8.
What would be the k24/LS of the v6 engines? I know that the 2gr-fe is the most used in our cars but that doesn't necessarily mean it's the best probably just the easiest to swap in our cars specifically.

I was think an Ls4. Any thoughts or recommendations? New to this so anything is welcome. Also if I were to go with an Ls4, what transmission should I be looking at? Engine bay modifications depend on the engine.
Toyota V6s (MZ, VZ, GR) can be bolted to the MR2 turbo gearbox with minor mods. Thus fitting into the engine bay without having to cut the chassis or body. Custom engine mounts will be needed for some of it.
User Dontcopy on here is doing a 2GR swap right now. What are you planning on using the car.
