4Age Fwd To Rwd

[Alvarado.e09]

Okay guys i have a problem and not really sure on what i should do about fixing it. Because the engine was out of an MR2 the thermostat is on the out side of the engine. One of my friends was telling me they sell a relocation kit for a RWD conversion is this true and if so where can i find it. Or is there a way i can do this without having to do a lot of fabrication.

any ideas?

[LittleRedSpirit]

Yeah, just hook it up the same way as its supposed to be in the MR2.

[Alvarado.e09]

I was going to do it the same as the MR2 but its to long the pipe hits the fire wall. So what should do it about that any ideas?

[Alvarado.e09]

I was just going to cut the pipe but i seen there is a bypass for something at the very end of it. On the picture that little peace of hose sticking out to the right. I'm not sure where it goes but I'm sure i need it lol. Maybe i can cut the pipe and drill a hole and make a by pass?

[LittleRedSpirit]

Take the pipe to an exhaust shop and have them bend it around to the side.

[Alvarado.e09]

That sounds like a really good idea. Now i just need to see how i want it bent.

 

Thanks for the help

Does any body know someone who has done a MR2 engine RWD? I was looking at bending that pipe but I'm not sure if its going to work out is there a kit i can buy for the thermostat relocation?

what does it connect to at the bottom of that hose? the bit with 2 bolts.

 

just do what you need to do to make the cooling system look like this

Okay i have a lot more info on this I'm not in the dark any more. I have a couple of small problems i want to ask about before i go cutting everything.

The 2 hoses coming for the pipes do i need them? I'm guessing not? I have seen a couple of pictures and i don't see anybody that has them 2 little hoses.

 

Okay i have no idea what this is called but i know what it is. I found a extra one in the car when i got it. i switched the sensers and tried to bolt it up and the pipe for the exhust that runs behind the head gets in the way of one of the senser.

The senser with the orange O ring is in the way. Do i need that can i just cut the top of it or something to make it fit?

This is what its getting stuck on.

This is what i got done this weekend.

 

 

[Alvarado.e09]

I think i was reading something and someone used A FWD intake Manifold cute and welded to make it RWD. I can't find this any where now and i wanted to do that to mine to save some money. Is there a DIY for this so i can take it to a welder or something.

[Alvarado.e09]

Will a FWD TB work on a RWD Intake manifold?

[Alvarado.e09]

I ordered A Oil Cooler

 

[Alvarado.e09]

I got some more parts in the mail.
