Mr2 Engine Into A Carina?

Question: Will a MR2 Turbo engine fit nicely into a Carina E without faffing about too much?

I need a turbo!

Thanx

the gti version of the carina e was fitted with the 3s-ge so the answer is yes. as for faffing around you will still have to moddify the wiring and get the apropriate engine mounts.

youll also have to convert the gear linkage as the mr2 selector comes out of the front. this isnt that hard you will need to remove the mr2 one get the carina one (i think it will fit) then fit this in the same place as carina and get a blanking plug to fill the hole in the front
