2.0l MR2 tuning potential?

[Hate]

I can get you some pics if you lot dont believe, when he pulls up outside I will go see him, get the full info where he had it done etc.
right just been and seen him, he had it done by rogue systems, its a stage 3, had a complete engine change, the turbo is twin stage or something and its over 300 bhp
like he said he had decat and full exhuast aswell.
He must love his car as he has some nice calipers sent to be powdercoated and some new braided hoses and vented disks to go on when he gets the calipers back

I think we're getting confused. I'm talking about L0rdMike from here...

Banny meant his as in his neighbours, not Mikes?

Looks like a nice tidy example mate, you'll enjoy it, and if you decide down the line you want a turbo, you'll be more "RWD Tamed" in advance

Nice purchase if you have gone through with it

 

[Hunders]

Nice one mate. Rev 3 too, sweet

Left a deposit this evening, he's having it MOT'd for me early next week and then it'll be time to hand over the cash

You going to track it?

edit, I mean track days, not use it as a track car

I doubt it, I'm not a fan of putting daily drivers on the track...

Looks good, a step up from your Golf.

 

[MrSix]

Indeed I'm looking forward to it.

 

[GreenMint]

Well done

 

[MrSix]

Thankinyou

Hopefully I'll command a bit more respect here from the mr2 than for my Golf

Very nice - I'm quite fond of these, particularly the T-bars. Looks all standard too.

rather than make a new thread, what is the fastest, (under 2k insurance for 20 yr old) car that can be had for this budget, I have been looking at S4's but cant really justify the cost as it would only be a weekend car, just looking at 0-60s really since I wont have to live with it everyday.

Congrats Mr Six

the turbo is twin stage or something

It's a 'twin entry' turbo. Standard fitment on MR2s.

on rev 3 only I thought?

Probably, I don't know much about MR2s

Nah, you can get rev 1,2,3,4 and 5 turbo cars. They just aren't native to the UK

I was talking about the twin entry turbo for quicker spool.

 

[spaceman]

nah they're twin entry on all mr2 turbos as standard

if you like your diy then i've heard of a few na 3s-ge engines making between 190-210bhp on carbs depending on the variant without changing anything else except the exhaust
