Yes the gen5 shifter is stitched in red.

I would recommend changing your shift lever and gear boot to December 1991+. They are a straight swap.

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] CT26 boost tail off.

Fit a ct20b and enjoy life.

Best stock fuel system turbo for the MR2 bar none.

Wideband ? You aren't going to run out of fuel with a CT series turbo.

Re: S148 from Turbo Technics

Stick with the ct20b.

A CT26 hybrid is not an upgrade. No matter what the people that build and sell them claim.

Re: Turbo exhaust differences between years

From the cat converter back they are all the same. Nur Spec is for 1989-1999 models.

Re: Wheel size recommendations

Nope. Had 245/40R17 on the rear, only needed to lightly massage the inner lip a tad. Lowered on black Bilsteins and TRD springs.

Re: Rev 1 turbo to Rev 3 turbo conversion

What is the point of doing a conversion if you keep the stock injectors?

Fit a ct20b, downpipe, exhaust and enjoy life. You don’t need to do any conversion.

Re: Wheel size recommendations

Bridgestone RE003. Far superior to the T1R. The sidewalls don't flex like the T1R and they have much more wet grip.

The only reason you would voluntarily use T1Rs is if you were sticking with the stock 15” wheels. Good tyre fifteen years ago. Tyre tech moved along quite some way now.

Re: [Mk2] [NA] Twin Webers

Yeah with careful tuning you might make a tad more power than the efi system. You will never get close to the fuel economy that the efi system has though.

Not enough information. Need offset and width.

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] help with 97' turbo clutch

Nothing wrong with an OEM clutch. Make sure you buy a genuine Toyota throw out bearing to go with it.

I've run 12 second 1/4 miles on a stock Toyota clutch in my last turbo.

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Can't select 1st, 3rd and 5th gear. All the up gears!

Won't surprise me if one of the cables has snapped thanks to the bearing replacement. Bearings don't move like the original bushings do.

Re: Torn between two , mr2 turbo or Subaru impreza WRX ?

Buddy of mine had a version 6 STI sedan. Quick car, my old ‘91 turbo with ct20b, exhaust and down pipe and 1 bar of boost would walk away from it on the highway with ease.

Re: Torn between two , mr2 turbo or Subaru impreza WRX ?

WRX’s aren’t even fast. Unless you have an STI model.

Good launch until the chocolate gearbox lets go. Zero top end, even th MR2 has better top end than a WRX.
