[mad car man]

can any body tell me what is the bhp of my mr2
i have been told by a few of my mates it is has 180bhp

it is a rev 2 g limited. 93

i have raced a 200bhp prelude
2 scooby turbos
and a clio williams

and won

and i am 100% it is quicker than the rev 3 N/Aand it can keep up with a rev 2 turbo

dose this sound right

[Baker]

173

[mad car man]

are you 100% sure

[jamief]

It can't keep up with a turbo though

[mad car man]

they pull away slighty on a straight.

say about 7 cars lenght over a mile. my mate has got one and we oftern race

[Valentino MR2]

If it's a Rev 2 then it's 158BHP matey!

[mad car man]

i thought imports were a higher speck and lighter than the uk one

if it is 158 how the hell have i beaten a 200 bhp prelude

unless its been tinkerd with in japan

[Valentino MR2]

nope Jap and Uk spec cars or the same revision are exactly the same!

Rev 1/2 158bhp
Rev3 onwards 174ish Bhp

put it this way i've been up against a standard Rev 2 Turbo and it woooped my ar$e and my car is in good shape!
He must have been in safe mode!

[mad car man]

how easy is it to put a turbo on a n/a model

[Valentino MR2]

Have a search mate, there is shed loads of info and costs on here

[Mikejc]

If you did indeed race any rev tubby and keep up then that tubby isn't well at all my friend I have owned both the 173bhp N/A and a Rev3 tubby that started life completely standard and I can tell you first hand that the N/A MR2 is no match for any revision Turbo'd 2!

i found that over 90 yes it dose pull away but up to 60/70 not alot in it

do you no anything about anything about puttung a turdo on a n/a

[Valentino MR2]

This has been covered sooo many times
It's not economically feisable(spelling???) to turbo you're engine (3SGE) when there is a perfectly good drop in replacement for it from the turbo model (3SGTE)

[Mikejc]

I re-state my original comment.....the tubby you raced isn't healthy. Any Rev tubby would murder an N/A!

Like said above...it would cost far to much and offer very little gain to slap a turbo onto the 3SGE engine that you have now. You would gain far more by fitting the 3S-GTE lump as it would be more tunable and also cost less into the bargain

i think i want a v6 now.

i have got a full kit and orderd a full leather retrim
and lambo doors

i have to wait for the engien as i am only 19 and paying 2500 tpth

if i fit the turdo engien what will i need?

[mr2 dan]

Only the later revised MR2's (after the Rev3's, 173bhp) had 168bhp which was due to tighter emmission laws as I remember it. As for 0-60 of under 7 sec's....again no i'm afraid. I believe only the BEAMS MR2 which was an N/A that had 200bhp dipped into the 6's!

Sorry mate but your source is incorrect

[mr2 dan]

well mine is defo rev1 with 168 bhp as been on the rollers and as i say lists 168bhp on parkers
