lexus005

there a few mr2 guys who have it aswell but it costs around $8-10k always lol. i plan on going to pinks at norwalk and up to canada july 10-12 for a Lexus meet. there will be track and drag events. if your jelly bean can handle a road course you should come. i dont need a roll bar for some reason. there is a mr2 meet that same weekend up there. check out my.is for details

sorry guys its a t517 turbo.

the greddy 2571. so your saying basicly the kit i have the only parts useable are the turbo and bov if i go 2zz?

At first I was just going to turbo my 1zz. Then when my buddy found a small oil leak when looking at replacing my pulleys. I posted if my TS kit will work on a 2zz (if I change the manifold) no one could give me a definate answer.

I have a Zex kit actually from a previous car. BTH I thought about running it but theres absolutely no where to put the bottle with out loosing storage space. These links show all I have. I actually took out the spare and plastics up front when the hood was installed. So really all I have left are the bins. http://www.familycar.com/RoadTests/ToyotaMR2/Images/Storage.jpg http://image.modified.com/f/features/19238208+pinline_medium/0209_sccp_04_z+2001_toyota_mr2_spyder_turbo+front_strut_bar.jpg Not to many Spyder guys run nitrous. They claim its not good for the motor and a turbo with low boost is much more reliable. As for racing Im always down but like i said my bumper wont be here til the middle part of May. Any of you guys planning to go to Pinks at Norwalk?

ya. thats what my minus the bumper and the top tier is now off the wing.

http://www.insideline.com/chevrolet/camaro/2010/2010-chevy-camaro-ss-0-60-in-46-seconds.html yes the 2zz is a toyota motor lotus uses and its also in the celica gts (180) matrix xrs and vibe gt (170)

lotus uses the 2zz toyota motor thats pretty much a direct swap as i have a 1zz stock. any who for $hits and giggles the best comparison i found was the new camaro ss (422hp)does the qm at 13.4sec a lotus elise (190) does it in 13.5sec. so my theory of competeing with 450hp muscle cars should be pretty accurate.

i had a lexus, i own a mr2, and maybe swaping a lotus motor.

im not saying the spyder would win but it should be about equal. i mean the a stock elise has no torque and still does mid 13s.Their around 1900lbs@190hp. American muscle cars are getting those times with double the weight and hp.

to be honest i just quarter mile calculated it. i just took a last model gto (3700lbs@450) vs spyder (2200@300). the spyder won by .4sec. figued it should be a good estimate.

something like that.

I hate to say it, but it seems like you failed. The general comments werent bad. I was thinking about it myself. Kinda getting to sick of mod'n (weather folks agree with what i done or not). Looking into geting a Boxster or maybe a new Gensis. Actually it will be a huge improvement. Around 250whp-300whp depending if I motor swap (7-8psi). It will be equalivant to around 450hp muscle car.

so what was the reason?

i didnt know im that popular lol. so how have you been 3.1?
