    Yaris 1800cc

    If you're interested in this type of thing. They took a Corolla engine and put it in a Yaris with very little difficulty. Who will be first to Project Binky a Mirage?

    I'm putting the 5.7L dohc from my tundra in my mirage. It will need to go into the passenger area though and I'll need to drive from the engine compartment. So I'll have a rear engine mirage with 381hp/401tq

    Is the 1.2 L, 78 hp Mirage engine going in the Tundra, too?

    You should have plenty of room to work on it in that engine bay.

    I'm putting four mirage engines in, one for each wheel. It will still be a power downgrade lol

    Just finished watching this a little bit ago. It's real interesting how same-manufacture stuff is totally plug and play.

    Makes me wonder if something like a 4A92 is plug and play with a Mirage. I remember reading someplace that a 3A92 is just a 4A92 with a cylinder lobbed off.

    You are correct but you would have to do some fabrication to mount the engine in the Mirage along with a whole heap of modifications.

    FFFFfffft. Amateurs all.

    I once owned a VW with a 350/375hp Chev smallblock driveline. I truly drove it with the back of my head touching the rear window. More than several supercar drivers were blindsided by my VW. Funny thing is, back in the day such bizarrare swaps were completely legal from all aspects, safety, emissions, etc. Nowadays such a car would be confiscated and crushed. I paid $850 for that monstrosity.


    Zero, 2014 ES Plus 5MT, written off but not forgotten.
    Zero II, 2014 SE, 5MT, climate She's HOME now!
    Shelby AKA "Cute", 2017 ES 5MT, A/C.

    Mirage owners look at the world differently than everyone else, but in a better way
    We're driving the Beetle of the 21st century, the greatest small car now available!
