    This driver has the exact right mentality; it's not all about HP numbers and 0-60 times.. but rather about how the car makes you feel. Love the build.

    • @rudytaneloruxy9491
      @rudytaneloruxy9491 7 лет назад +3

      DeployableMango considering the wieght 300 hp should give it a repectable actual # along with the feel. Personally I think 5 or 10 to 60 is a more important # in regards to how a car feels ( if it hooks good) if your not looking for drag racing and the launch needed to be effective. The car isn't riced out , the wheels are understated but awesome and look perfect on this body, the body style is amazing and timeless and at 10k, its fucking awesome and presumably it is reliable and relatively fuel efficient. I call it a 10 on the win scale in style plus bang for the buck.

    • @bliglum
      @bliglum 7 лет назад +1

      But it IS about the HP numbers and times... Because if this car had 90hp and 16 second 0-60 times I doubt he would love the way it made him feel.

    • @TBustah
      @TBustah 7 лет назад

      @MyName IsOllie You likely heard a rumor, or just somebody fanboying out.
      That said, I wouldn't be surprised if Toyota were to announce a new one. We know they're working on a new Supra, and they applied for a renewal on the trademarks for Celica with the US Patent and Trademark Office about a month ago. Some people have speculated that they'll just apply it to our version of the next generation 86, but with Scion and the tC gone, I wouldn't be surprised if there was a new FWD sportster in the future (especially with Honda bringing over the Civic Type R). The upshot is, a new MR2 is far from impossible at this point. I could even see them doing some platform sharing with Lotus (whom they have a working relationship with) to expedite the process.

      I personally think they would look great on lots of cars, they've been in my top 3-5 "favorite wheels I've ever seen" ever since my mom got an Evo in 2004. It's a shame that Enkei doesn't seem to have made them except for the Mitsu OEM, in a perfect world you could get them in other sizes.

    • @frankgile1996
      @frankgile1996 7 лет назад

      Probably the best choice of a wheel for the Evo, almost never understood why you'd swap them off an Evo for something else (besides size reasons, of course)... I agree, this build's really cool (or shall I say "wheelie-cool"?)!

    @caribbeangtr8077 7 лет назад +1

    Great project V6 Camry in a MR2. Driver's comments are right about the tuning, as it could be optimised. Nice budget too. For $10,000 its good value for money. Friend had one of these but the V6 was built with good rods, pistons, cams, ARP stuff, turbo and standalone ECU. Made an easy 900 HP he said and lots of torque. These V6 have lots of potential, and they are the best swap for the RWD conversions too. The 3SGTE turbo engine of this car is very potent too. Enjoyed this video.

      2gr Fe is found in the camry and the sienna. Allegedly the motor bolts directly to the trans and makes excellent power. The 2grfse makes even more power and bolts right up and thats found in the Lexus gs/is350 and rx350

    • @rohansmith3962

    He's so dead set on making it smog-legal, but the car should fail a safety inspection due to no amber front side markers, no red rear side markers (looks like JDM tail lights that aren't DOT approved), and an aftermarket steering wheel removing the driver's air bag. California is stupid.

    • @SuperHoneyOil
      @SuperHoneyOil 4 года назад +1

      @@gildardo true, but same with SMOG after you get the car approved once. Especially since he does the work himself and said he's comfortable with wiring, swapping an ECU with a flashed tune isn't unfeasible. If he gets pulled over and the cop is a dick, he'll have to fix everything else and swapping an ecu at that point makes sense. If the whole car isn't CA legal then he may as well make his daily more fun.

  • @ddanter30

Then again, it was an 07 wrx, which just wouldn't handle the way I wanted it to no matter what!! I'm sold on the idea of Ohlins/KW3's/Teins with edfc if I were to modify the 370z's suspension.

  • @sydemoid
    @sydemoid 7 лет назад +3

    Matt, I would also like to suggest a lighter crank pulley (they were being made by NST performance at one point), water meth injection, and a 255lb fuel pump (or higher depending on the injector size), with those mods I've seen that V6 put down about 350-400 HP when properly tuned- However the bottom end can't handle that amount of boost (7-8 psi) for too long. Also since it's a 1MZFE, he could swap the bottom end with a 3MZFE out of a Lexus RX330, which is more stout in stock form. and an overbored Throttlebody, No need to change the ECU in his case....

    Regarding the stand-alone in Cali... For '93 the only thing that needs to happen during SMOG as far as the computer is concerned is that the check engine light must come on at start-up then shut-off once started. No scan, no plug, no nothing, for '93 it's all sniffer based.
    I feel like there's gotta be a way to show that CEL on start-up with a standalone - I'm sure it depends on the company, but the requirements aren't hard. It's not like '96+ where you have to worry about a whole OBD-II protocol and what-not. Just a check engine light flash!

      @jdalzell3354 7 лет назад +4

      Gen 4 3sgte no need to build it. 2gr will make about the same power but its more then double the cost to swap.

    The first time I saw an MR2 was when I was a kid in the early 90s, in the back of a super Nintendo box at a sears counter. Apparently in the picture it was rallying coming off a road jump and the wheels airborne. It was white too

    That build seems like it's very well put together, and it looks and sounds great. This guy really knows what he's doing. So much envy.
    Also, Matt is too soft.

    I am really surprised that he got that thing through the smog ref. I did a ton of research into doing a V8 swap in one of my trucks (1UZ into a toyota pickup) and even though the rules are more relaxed for trucks, it is still a heck of an undertaking. The rules (that are very vague) prohibit modifying the factory exhaust up to the outlet side of the cat at all, you also have to use the stock intake tract and airbox. And then there is the transmission regs. Some refs will green light trans swaps and auto to manual conversions, others demand that the factory trans from the donor car be utilized. In the end I decided I will be doing a pre 75 truck (smog exempt).

    "Electric" power steering isn't entirely accurate to describe the car. It uses an electronic motor driven hydrolic pump. So it's still a hydrolic system.

    Some SWs came with no power steering at all. I used to have one with a small Momo steering wheel. It's one way to get a good arm workout!
    The non power steering racks are rarer than gold hens teeth though....
