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.
-
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?
-
Just wanted to say hi to all my haters and maybe some of the newbies who did she my 21 page intro lol. So I guess I'll give you guys a update on whats up with my car. I bought a TRD quickshifter, some lightweight pulleys, and guess what a turbo kit. The kit is incomplete as it comes from Top Secret that way. So I will be needing some extra parts ic, injectors, and a ems. I sold my bumper and stock hood which was a stupid mistake. The C-one wont be here till the middle part of May I ASSumed it would be here alot faster. http://www.luxurypart.com/home/images/moto_1239.jpg http://www.luxurypart.com/home/images/02042010(018).jpg http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=ja&u=http://www.topsecretjpn.com/&ei=9I7US9b3O4P09QTMn8i5Dw&sa=X&oi=translate&ct=result&resnum=1&ved=0CA0Q7gEwAA&prev=/search%3Fq%3Dtop%2Bsecret%2Bjapan%26hl%3Den

You guys are right. Talking with another member in a non oven like tone he basicly stated that I joined a racing forum with out any racing parts. So as Alex says am disapointment. I put my head on the CR chopping block and basicly can promise you guys that my car will be fast enough soon. Not 8 sec in the quarter mile but a nice well rounded car (new motor, rims, down the road s/c or turbo and suspension ). The canards WONT be going on my new bumper. After my bumper is on and painted shortly after I do plan on painting my hood leaving the vent centers black. I really did join just for "cars and coffee" edited and other cbus events
-
so you guys gonna let me in now??? <@: )
-
the celica 2zz aftermarket intake manifold wont fit the spyder huh?
