Real quick, name Toyota's iconic 90s sports car? Did you say Supra? I feel like you did. But what if I told you that your answer should have been MR2 Turbo? Crazy, right? Or maybe not so. The MR2 Turbo was a lightweight, mid-engine, rear wheel drive sports car offered up by Toyota. This particular version, the second generation (or SW20), set out to improve on the first gen (the AW11) in nearly every aspect. Was the MR2 Turbo Toyota's real 90s sports car? #toyotamr2 #mr2turbo #carreview

Sometimes it’s the issues we overcome that make a car that much more special. Glad you held on to it all this time and really glad you still enjoy it.

Yea I've got a rev 1 tin top with rev 3 geometry, a st205 (5s bottom end, 520bhp, E153), supra disks, skyline calipers celica front end and fully custom bodywork. She's a frankenstein for sure and I wouldn't swap her for a ferrari tbh, but I did build her for me from a bare shell up so it's pretty personalised for me, I've got some pretty interesting SW20 projects coming up these next 2 years if anyone is interested......

I got a largely stock 1991 MR2 GT as a mini investment that I could enjoy in the meantime. Once I got it a nice service and back on the road, the prices then went insane. And yet, I don't think I could get rid of the only car to put such a huge smile on my face to drive.

Good review! I never thought about that. This car really was in a category of its own. I would've said it competed with the S13 240SX and Eclipse, but that's where the Celica stepped in. Fun fact about the 3SGTE engine. Toyota actually snapped this engine into the MKIV Supra to run in the JGTC series. That should tell you how well it compares to the 2JZ engine!

@autoobsessivegarage 2 года назад
I do love the fact that they used the 3S-GT engine straight out of their successful rally cars. Hey the engine tech was right there, why not throw it in the Supra?

I put a j&s knock control system on my 93 and made the car run a lot quicker. It was tied in with an MSD 6A with Nology hot wires and a dual valve booster controller from MR2 performance products (out of business). Ran a garret t3/t4 turbo with an ACT clutch with the 6 puck copper metallic disk. Just upgraded the intercooler fan and a custom made dual feed fuel rail. Was able to pull 5sec range 0-60's and 13sec flat in the 1/4. The top end wasn't much more than 160mph due to the stock tranny. Forgot to mention I rebuilt the engine with arias forged aluminum pistons, total seal piston rings, custom ground cams., ARP studded the whole engine and used a TRD triple layer metal head gasket). Sadly lost the car to Bambi. To this day it has been my favorite car I ever owned.

Those are some tried and true mods. I love how much potential they had with just bolt one, but you took it even further. Thing must have been a blast to drive to hard.

wanted one since i was a little kid. finally got one, a 93 turbo, somehow never wrecked, no engine. put a 3.5l v6 in it now.. amazing driving car.. even if its a little rust and been sitting for a decade. hope to bring it up to like new, but with the modern power. its a BLAST (best 2500 i ever spent)

hopefully get it on a dyno this year and see what the 12.5:1 does. typical numbers with the 2gr are around 280-300 wheel. im hoping for 310-320

I'd much rather see this fix versus a half-assed and rushed turbo engine swap into an N/A car. Waaaay scarier and more common than you think.

With that engine you can easily make 1000 horsepower I have seen a video of somebody doing it. I'm 11 years old and I'm so obsessed with cars can't wait till I become 16

It's a shame that you have to buy the Toyota MR2 Turbo for that engine. I just wish that all the MR2 had that engine. Toyota MR2 from 1991 is way better then the Toyota Celica gt4 1994 do you agree with me #savethemanuals.
@wendyandgeoffpattison2610
@wendyandgeoffpattison2610 Месяц назад
Walter, I don't think you can "easily" make 1000hp with this engine. It would not be streetable, (race gas necessary), and would be very expensive. And, you would have to be prepared to take your engine home in a bag occasionally. Nothing comes for free my friend.
