Great video! Thanks for the tips! I have a K20Z3 transmission with LSD numbered MN3 7RPN and thankfully it has the threaded bolt holes needed for the mounts. I hope it works.
Wait…you can’t use 8th gen civic si trans(Z3)? It says on toyonda’s website that they work for k20a2,a3, k20z1, and z3. That’s what I’m planning on using I hope that’s not the case.
The 8th gen si trans comes factory with a LSD which is why I wanted to use it. You can use the 8th gen trans but they don’t have the two mounting holes for the 4th motor mount. You would need to swap the internals of the si trans into an ep3 or a rsx case. In the next episode I talk about fuel system, sorry for the delay this hurricane stuff has been a huge monkey wrench.
I think you’re mistaken man. See, I’m also in the process of swapping my mr2 with a jdm k24 and using k20z3 trans for factory LSD. I just spoke with the guy over at toyonda. He said k20z3 trans is no problem with 4th mount. He thinks it’s the k24z3 that doesn’t have the two bolt holes for the subframe mount. Correct me if I’m wrong here but I hope I’m not because then I will have to buy another trans lol.
If you already own the trans check it out see if it has the mounting points. I’ll be home in a couple of days I’ll check a friends 8th gen and let you know. Possibly someone sold me the wrong transmission.
Hey man quick question, is there any benefit to running the budget k swap header versus a stock header? With the toyonda budget exhaust will the stock header fit? Is the budget exhaust header bigger in diameter? Just wondering if it’s worth or needed for the extra 75$
I actually have both and going to compare the 2 in my next mr2 video. Port size wise and if the toyonda exhaust will bolt up to the stock headers. I can try to bolt up the exhaust to the stock header outside the car to see if it’ll fit and let you know.
Sorry for the late response, been busy lately. If using the toyonda budget exhaust the factory header will not fit with out cutting the exhaust and having to weld new flanges. Factory is 1 1/2 diameter for the runners Toyonda is 1 5/8 diameter. Little more air flow. I have more coming in the next mr2 video.

Thanks for the input, glad you found the video useful.
more power to you bro!! new subscriber!
This thing needs to see action again!
For sure it does, hopefully on the road soon.
Nice bro! Just picked up a 94 na that I’m going to k swap!
Good stuff man, you’re going to love working on a mr2 when it has all the space from a k series.
Nice. I want to see how much u make hp with the toyonda budget exhaust.
I’m eager to see what it’ll make as well, hoping to make something around 240whp.
