H there, I just 're-found' your YT site :-).

Thamks for your time to make the films & share your knowledge. I have a 'posh MR2' AKA a Lotus Exige S2, so you never know, a 2GR FE in that someday like the S3 Exige could be on the cards ;-)

But thanks again for your channel - really appreciated & I love your can-do approach. I think many Lotus guys ignore the MR2 scene, but in reality they are quite similar & of course Lotus Cars did switch from 2ZZ to 2GR-FE in the Exige since 2012. Although Lotus went down the SC route (for road cars) the 4.0 NA (for race cars) seems very interesting to keep weight / complexity / heat load down. Cosworth & Swindon seemed to be their main suppliers.

When the evora came out i tried to branch out a bit but it became quickly obvious that since i wasn't charging enough that people did not believe me.

The only way to make that intake manifold better would be to go back to the root of it's design inspiration which looked to be the fibonacci spiral

I'm loving these experiments. Your plenum experiments are great. Is there anything you can do about increasing the manifold air density by improving the airflow from the atmosphere to the plenum? Air density is power

@FrankensteinMotorworks

The first step i want to do is actually measure the plenum pressure to see if there's a problem to solve there, it's on my to-do list for sure already.

Thanks bro Im learning alot for my 2017 camry !!! Any recommendations

Your curves do about what they do on a Ford 5.0-5.8L, a Chevy LS or LT, various imports when you stroke the bottom end and keep the top end and cam the same. Generally it will be inflated by the 8% or whatever the increase in displacement is up to about the very top. At that point it will taper down. The reason is the cam timing only supports that ( a shorter one ) powerband on that displacement. At the higher rpm the piston velocity and acceleration is too great for the cam timing and induction. So it will be a peak torque increase of maybe the 8%. However the peak HP increase is somewhere from 1 to maybe 4 or 5% ( depending on how good or bad the top end was ), not close to 8% because your losing a few hundred RPM off the powerband.

So in this case the 2AR-FE in the scion tc to turn it into a 2.7L I would just have to take the rods and crankshaft from the 1AR-FE? Along side with the JE pistons? Is that right? Lol

Hi, so funny I have been thinking about installing a 2AR-FE in my Spyder, I am not sure how to get the stock ECU to handle boost?

Man i wish in the near future you'll be able to make our little TC2 faster than the stock one without a boost.🙏🙏

That montage was amazing... watching you just pop out an entire engine and pop in a new one is ridiculous. My request is that you pop little titles in there for what you're doing like "unbolting exhaust". "inspecting oil filter" etc. for my poor friend who is a dumb as a rock and wants to learn what you're doing. If that sounds like a boatload of effort, I understand and will educate my friend myself.

Why don't you try ITB ?

Charcoal Filter if i remove in my AR-FE with stock engine i get little more power are not its a retraction can you help me

For the 2gr comes intake manifold leaders and perform different functions. Do you know if for 2arf comes someone else that makes the air flow better?

I have a 2016 toyota camry (xv50) powered by the 2arfe. These cars were only ever sold with automatic transmission and I always wondered what it would be like if Toyota made them with manual. If I were to manual swap it, what transmission will work with my engine and will I have to use a stand-alone ecu? Can a 6 speed, I think they are called eb60 or eb62 work with my engine?

@FrankensteinMotorworks

The EB62 is what the 2010-2011 camry uses with this motor and would be a good choice. Likely you'd have interesting integration issues with the CAN bus. it could probably be solved but only if you have experience with that kind of thing.

As far as i know there are no directly available off the shelf pistons for the 1AR-FE. That should be relatively easy to resolve and I'd be happy to do it if there's enough of a market for it.

So is all that is needed for the basic conversion litterally just 1ar crank and pistons?

@FrankensteinMotorworks

The only internal difference between the motors is the crank and the pistons. Externally the intake manifold is a tiny bit different but not to the point where it really matters which one you have.

This has nothing to do with ur video but can aeorgel be applied to automative engineering? If it can how would we see it be applied?

@FrankensteinMotorworks

3 жыл бұрын

I can honestly say i wasn't expecting this question. Aerogel is an amazing insulator but I don't think it could survive normal automotive conditions, especially the constant vibrations. That said, having an insulator that is as close to perfect as we can currently get probably has some interesting implications for exhaust heat energy recovery. Perhaps being able to recover some of that 30% or so of the energy that is lost to heat dissipation.

n/m, love the build. I usually see k swaps in the mr2s online

So, I was looking on your website at the Ecu's. So if you did everything to the 2ar to make a 1ar...I would assume the ecu still being that scion tc... Would the ecu allow the tune to meld with the natural 1ar or does it have to be your version of the 2ar (secretly a 1ar)? I watched this one and the one after. So, if you have a 1ar. Getting higher degree cams and injectors would be about it then...? Too my knowledge, seems legit. These engines seem restricted on all front: Cold air, fire, hot air, and fuel distribution could all be faster. I didn't know all this a while ago. So I just took the muffler off and put on a cold air that's actually cold. Does so much better. So if you can put the cams on your site. I very well might be able to buy and fit them. So if you're still going...please continue. Cams would be great for a while till I say turbo the damn thing. What's even better is they make 2ar turbo kits. Knowing they're basically the same now. You can do that possibly. I know I'm looking into it.

$150 was a special deal but these motors show up a lot at the pick-n-pull yards and those are $250-300 if you pull it yourself. Unlike the 2GR, these are quite available.
