E-throttle owns you, theres alot of inputs the new e-throttle sys. looks for that we didnt care to/ or want to include on the mr2s. Im sure it could be done, but the 5VZ is an awesome design (in some ways better than the 2JZ) and can handle boost. Its only real weakness is the stock cast pistons, and the weenie factory cams. Very good head design. With the V6 installed, its ACTUALLY EASIER to work on an Mr2!!!
