I'm shocked at how many people remember this car from pics they saw years ago. That's cool that mine helped to steer your decision. Hope you're enjoying it!
Since stealing my dad's & my friend launching from ditch and into the air then cutting a tree in half in the air, I've loved this car. A very unique car with a hell of a lot of potential. Got a 91 sitting in the garage halfway disassembled. Not sure how good the LSD is but also got a 94 transmission, will just need the 94 inner axle stubs. On the same path you took & have a long way to go, but I still like refurbishing everything I have. The EMS is a hand-made unit but can't think of the name of the guy that makes them. Another big 2 fan, he has some good products that are all MR2 related and for making more power. Looking to hit around the same mark as you power-wise, nothing crazy just a really damn fun vehicle. Nice review & great looking MR2.
Excellent video, I've had my Rev 3 turbo for just over 10 years now. its still an occasion to drive it. We watch more of your videos, may inspire me to make one of my own
This makes me happy and sad. I love the red. My first 91 Mr2 turbo was red. My second 91 Mr2 turbo was white. Both are sold. Both are sorely missed. And now you've got me thinking about rejoining the community, along with my 06 4Runner Sport... which I'm TOTALLY pirating some of your suspension ideas from the channel. Thanks for the inspiration.
Holy crap. You're the owner of this car. I remember coming across pictures of your car and was amazed by how clean it was. I'd always return to the pictures as I looked at my RX-7 throwing a tantrum demanding more money. That car is gone and I'm back in an MR2 18 years after my first one. Your car looks fantastic.
So happy I found this channel! I've seen pics of your car for YEARS, and now I can actually see videos of it :) please keep them coming, motivates me to continue my build
We share the almost exact same MR2! mine is a 1998 Hardtop in Red. Like you I’ll never sell it. Just one thing you need to adjust your hand brake it should have 3-5 clicks.
Thanks man! To answer your earlier question, I chose the TD06 because it was a popular setup for 350-400whp at the time. This was back when GT3076 kits were just starting to hit the market, and long, long before anyone was using Precision turbos. If I were to go back in time, I probably would have waited a little longer and went with a Garrett turbo. The TD06 still does the job though, plus it's period-correct and adds to the character of the car.
Hey man I’m in Kitchener and have a red ‘91 MR2 Turbo that looks very similar! I actually saw your car once a few months ago near a car meet in Cambridge and took a photo! If you live locally we should meet up some time!
mr2’s come with twin entry turbos stock, and my 2 gets full boost of 16 psi at 3k rpm. If you want to get rid of that boost lag and have more mid range power i suggest go with the gen 3 3sgte’s turbo, the ct20b. Absolutely love your car man keep it up!
Mine was very responsive when I had the stock turbo too. Can't make this kind of power on a ct20b though. A somewhat laggy setup with decent peak hp is actually a lot of fun to drive. Not the best for a canyon carver but lots of fun for a street car. Thanks for watching
Very nice built. Wish I could keep a car for 10 years BUT I always seem to get bored after a couple years and start to chase something new haha. Well just picked up a JDM RHD gen2 so we’ll see how long I hang on to her 😁
How reliable has the build been? I have a 1991 I plan on building up to 400-ish HP and want it to be reliable but also not take out a second mortgage on my house to finance the cost of the car.
Love the look of this car! I just bought a 91 turbo and I'm going to do a front lip, side skirts, and rear bumper garnish, so it really helps to know what size rims you have on it. The look is perfect! What size BF Goodrich tires are those? Cheers on such a great build!
Canadian Gearhead yeah, my MR2 used to also be Red, same GReady side skits too. It's currently in primer paint. I can email a current picture, but unfortunately fortunately I don't have pictures when it used to have the SF Challenge wheels.
I might be able to get the driver's side one in with the extinguisher. The subwoofer side is a no go. I just stash them in the trunk but to be honest I never really take them out.
I love your review. I own a 92 mr2 turbo that i been working on it little bits at the time. I want to start adding more power. Any sites that you recommend for a second gen. I am located in Florida.
@@CanadianGearhead Thats good you can achieve similar or better level with a toyota CT26 hybrid turbo which is very good, do you have forged pistons and conrods to deal with that much boost and how much of a hp increase was becuase of the intercooler? Also what camshaft are you using? Very nice car good work.
One of the cleanest and most well kept sw20 I have seen. You should be very proud of this beautiful machine from the 90s.
Thanks, I appreciate it
this is the best mr2 review Ive seen and Ive seen a lot!
Thanks!
Saw your car on the pic 4 years ago and that's how i fell in love with MR2's and bought my Turbo. Thanks for the inspiration ;)

Do it! RUclips needs lots more MR2 content
This is one of my favorite MR2s I have ever seen
Thanks man. There's lots of nice ones out there, they just don't seem to get much attention on the interwebs

Good job keeping the paint that clean. My 91 definitely needs a fresh coat.

That's awesome! I'm going to try to get some good MR2 content going soon.
I remember this car from the old mr2oc days. Glad to see it's still alive!
Thanks man, it's cool to see all the mr2oc people on here
RoboToast mr2oc was where I learned so much about mr2's before everyone went to Facebook
We share the almost exact same MR2! mine is a 1998 Hardtop in Red. Like you I’ll never sell it. Just one thing you need to adjust your hand brake it should have 3-5 clicks.
Great walk around. And what a great car mate. Well done.
Thanks Daniel, much appreciated
Nice ride. You brought me back to the 90s. Respect. 🙏❤
This was and has been my favorite MR2.
4runner ! Mr2! Man you living the life ! 👍👍👍
What can I say, I like my old Yotas!
Super clean bro, very few things i would change and I'm the pickiest guy in the world

lol yea totally agree, makes sense.
Nice car. I have a 4runner and a mr2 plus a e30. Nowhere as clean as yours are.

Small world!
Man awsome car! Mine is in pieces in my garage lol. What are the tire size?? Front and back? Thanks
Super super clean car. Working on my 93 to be this clean.
Right on man
I also have a 93. An NA, prepping for a 4th Gen swap.

how much power do you make at the wheels with 16 psi and how much do you think you could see with 22psi?
Awesome Marco tuned my DSM!
My MR2 is 93 extremely clean too. I need your rims buddy
Very nice built. Wish I could keep a car for 10 years BUT I always seem to get bored after a couple years and start to chase something new haha. Well just picked up a JDM RHD gen2 so we’ll see how long I hang on to her 😁
I wouldn't consider the smiley face eyeballs front look a downside haha!
AMAZING!!! 😳😲👀🤯🥲😆🤓✌🏾❤✊🏾

Thanks, they're 215/35/18 and 245/35/18
I’m chasin. I just bought my 3rd Mr2 hard top with lsd for $1800. Im fkn stoked .
what does it run in a quarter mile?
What's up with the stupid quick release steering wheel? What's the deal?
Very clean and subtle almost the perfect mr2 , wheels are an inch too big for my liking lol , 16s FTW! Haha
Sweet car! You in Toronto?
good job, a car to collect, very good .. ok MR2
Headlamp information?
i used to have those same wheels, SF Challenge , on my MR2 ;-).I sold them, and now i have the Gram Lights 57pro.
Same size and color? I'd love to see pics
Canadian Gearhead yeah, my MR2 used to also be Red, same GReady side skits too. It's currently in primer paint. I can email a current picture, but unfortunately fortunately I don't have pictures when it used to have the SF Challenge wheels.
Was your MR2 on a stock suspension?
@@mohammadwali7036 my MR2 was, and is, on Tien HA coilovers. That suspension feels great. I strongly recommend them!
Gorgeous car! Amazing for original paint.
Thanks!
Rare to see MR2's in KW. Yours is clean!
Can you still store the t tops with the sub and extinguisher?
I might be able to get the driver's side one in with the extinguisher. The subwoofer side is a no go. I just stash them in the trunk but to be honest I never really take them out.
I love your review. I own a 92 mr2 turbo that i been working on it little bits at the time. I want to start adding more power. Any sites that you recommend for a second gen. I am located in Florida.
It's been a while since I bought performance stuff but TCS and Primedriven seem good
hey man I love this build! do you know where I can find the blitz exhaust online?
I have no idea, mine was on the car when I bought it 15 years ago. It would probably be nearly impossible to find a brand new one now
What's the infotainment screen?
Just an old Kenwood unit
This MR2 make me want to get back in the game. I had a 2GRFE MR2 before. So sad I sold it.
More MR2 vids coming soon!
Check out boosted boiz mr2...thats definately not the factory paint i see over spray and orange peel
Where did you get your lip kit?
It was one of the last to come directly from Aeroware before they shut down
Lovely MR2
Thanks man
The wheels are also dope
This car is an Internet Icon!! I'm 'tksmr2' from the mr2oc.com boards.
You're too kind, my friend!
Super nice car bro. Please send me the information. I love your rims
How much boost are you running to get to 400whp?
20psi
