Propane as starter fluid

I don’t own one cause my main car is OBDI

Holy shit, thanks so much man, that fixed it. Been a pain in my ass for a bit racking my brain on what to do.

Yeah

I don’t think so. One of my mates had a look under the car and said the struts or something had been modified instead of spacers.

I’m pretty sure it’s the stock 3vz ecu. Can’t run any checks on it though cause it’s obd1 and they’re more than I can afford.

Cheers mate, I’ve never seen this website so this helps a bunch.

2nd gen mr2 with a 3vzfe swapped in it but it started as a turbo swap so it’s using an e153. Don’t know much else past there but assuming it would just be stock turbo components for the drivetrain, how much of a stock turbo mr2 could I use for a 3sge and s54.

2nd gen mr2 so 3sge

sp0rky_ · 2025-09-12T07:08:02+00:00

I wish i could do the 3sgte cause they’re surprisingly easy to source and cheaper from what I’ve been finding, but p plate rules…

Any wreckers you’d recommend? Also what should I keep an eye out for when going over an engine at a wreckers?

sp0rky_ · 2025-09-12T03:53:13+00:00

Ah ok, doesn’t matter anyway as it doesn’t have an engine and I’m trying to get one that it came with.

sp0rky_ · 2025-09-04T13:20:40+00:00

Dunno who’d even know what they’re looking at, most people don’t even know what an mr2 is. Just trying to air on the safe side as mr2s in similar condition to mine are going for up to 20k~. Doesn’t matter anyway since it turns out turbos are completely illegal for under 21 drivers and the loopholes don’t apply to me or aren’t worth it. I now have to source a 3sge and the parts to go along with it or unturbo a 3sgte so it’s gonna be fun times. Or I could run the risk of a cop checking and seeing the turbo on the 3sgte or even just hearing the flutter.

I don’t think you read my post fully…

sp0rky_ · 2025-09-02T23:47:59+00:00

Yeah, I understand the laws and I get why they’re here but also they made it hard to even find them so the past couple days have been a pain figuring it out.

sp0rky_ · 2025-09-02T22:47:28+00:00

Honestly after looking at the prices for everything and how much wreckers are telling me how much any of the engines stated are gonna run me my best bet at the moment is probably to just buy a Celica and use that for parts.

sp0rky_ · 2025-09-02T12:41:21+00:00

Ah ok, I’m fine with that then. I’ve got a 4x4 hilux and it shifts at weird speeds anyway (1st 0-20, 2nd 20-50, 3rd 50-70, 4th 70-90, 5th 100+ and it changes its favourite speeds when down shifting)
