Tinton's 1991 Toyota MR2

The Car

This is a 1991 Toyota MR2 Turbo with a 3S-GTE engine and a ct26 turbo. Stock it came with 200 hp and 200 torque with a redline of 7000 RPM. I just bought this car less than a month ago (as of writing this, 11/29/08) and I'm still getting used to it. It probably has much more HP than stock, the engine was recently rebuilt along with the turbo and the car is currently running 20 psi (stock is 12 psi). The car also has an aftermarket intercooler. This car handles extremely well and once you hit boost it's pretty fast. As for fuel economy, it sucks down fuel, even when I stay out of the boost. The t-tops are also fun since my Fieros both have hard-tops, and having A/F and boost gauges is a new thing for me.

Plans

Not too sure. I hope to lower the car and get it running completely right, right now its running rich most of the time because of having a BOV instead of a BPV. I do have plans for the audio in this car.

Mods

I don't have a complete list of all the modifications from the previous owner, so for many things I have to guess. But, most of all it has an aftermarket intercooler, intake, exhaust, BOV, much more boost than stock (20 psi instead of 12), 12" disc brakes, among other things.

Audio Mods

From what I've seen in looking through the car it has an Alpine head-unit along with component speakers in the doors. It also has 4 amplifiers up in the front that look kind of cheap.

 

Overall, its a fun car, and sometimes it shoots flames from the exhaust

Dude I really dig your MR2, man. 20 psi on a stock motor is really impressive. That just shows how well-made the 3sgte is. 5 stars bro!
