very sweet car, got any vids???

also, what kinda of times do the new body style run when turboed???

 

Ah no videos yet But I will post some up soon. My buddy has a 6 speed 408SS with a 2 stage on it. It should make for some awesome videos. There are a couple of faster new body mr2s that are in the 10s i belive, but for the most part mr2s are slow because all they wanna do is autocross. http://www.mr2ownersclub.com/mr2records/drag.htm

 

thanks for the intel, theres a new body style one on campus thats turboed and supposed to be pretty quick. want to say its putting down 220 rwhp 230 rwtq but could be off with the numbers. what should i look for to tell if it is quick or not???

 

Umm pretty much none of the new body style mr2s are fast. The 91-95 though can be made quick like mine. 2 key things to look for are an upgraded turbo ( one that does not say "toyota ct26" on it. ) and the other thing is an EMS of some sort. WIthout those 2 things the mr2 is limited to 240whp which is low 13s high 12s. 300+whp and you are dipping into the 11s.

 

Very clean and fast mr2 you have there, let us know on some track times and new numbers when you get them.

 

badass!! i wanna see vids of that thing in action for sure..i bet its a handful to drive once you hit full boost lol

 

Holy **** that little thing must be fast.

damn..you must have a death wish with that lil car and all that power..lol. I love those mr2s...they are so rare tryign to find a turbo one too.

 

Yea they are getting really rare. You can buy mine though

 

 

Well I @ least understand the motive for running the exhaust like that now. Thats a pretty cool way to run the intercooler, considering the circumstances. Ever think of running a side exit exhaust, like the SRT-4 guys do?

 

rearwheeldrive mr2...... drive through , frontwheeldrive honda ..................please step out of the vehicle , hands on yer head . your going down for section 1-54 .. honda driver'' whats that ''.. officer ''Ricer pissn me off ''

 

Powershift 408. I think side exhaust would be just too loud. My currect is exhaust is deep and loud but I just cant imagine how loud a side exit would be with is 3' of exhaust pipe

 

dang nice sleeper

 

Badass little car man! Definately don't care for the "fart can" look, but hey, if it's functional...

 

like mentioned in the texas section, you have sweet *** little car... def cant wait to see some vids of it in action

 

I feel ya buddy, nice car either way.

 

Listen, I hate the exhaust.. But cool ****. It will definitely be a mean machine. Good luck on the times.

 

Looks like you need to box that IC in and get some ducting going. I think the coolest example of getting good airflow and isolating the intercooler from the engine bay was done by Jekyl & Hyde on automotiveforums.com

Really clean job though, that'd scare the hell out of me right now.

 

Jekyl&hyde wishes his setup was as clean as mine :
He recently Just went 10.9@130 on a crappy spec clutch.
OH btw i dont need ducting when I have 2 12" fans below the ic sucking hard.
