What is up with the 91-96 MR2 GT-S??

[Zero turbo]

I have always ask my self what is the difference between the Turbo V.S. GT-S . I know both are turbo but the GT-S claims to have 241 HP and the Turbo has only 200 hp .


is this right or is just a trim Toyota used in japan?? and in case someone is going did MR2's where made in 96 i got that from Gran turismo cuz they are some MR2 that are from that year ...

If I recall correctly only US stopped at 95 while the rest of the world all had MR2 until 99...

245 vs 200. not much different, perhaps just engine tuning...

"245 vs 200. not much different"

Whaaaaaaa?!
You think a 25% gain in power is not much different?
That's huge.

But anyways, that trim never made it to the US.
Here it's either Turbo or not.
In Japan they've had GT, GTS, GL, SE, and LE MR2s.
Probably more.
We never get any of the cool stuff that Japan has, even the trim designation =(

JDM turbo GT has Leather interior while the turbo GT-S has only ordinary cloth.. i've got the GT! They both have the same HP rating(stock) 2nd gen('92) has 225 HP while 3rd gen('93+) has 245 HP.. im talking about JDM MR2s.. I live in the Philippines by the way and we get JDM here.

Hey mr2crazybyong well i guess we have cars that most pple would dream to have see here in the BAHAMAS we also import japanese cars down here and we get them really cheap also ! By the way i own a 1993 toyota mr2 Gts so she comes with leather and all that other good stuff that comes with the mr2 from our good friends in the east !!There are only about 6 Mr2`s on this island and i am the proud owner of one most of the guys that drive performance cars down here owns lancer evolutions 1,2,3 and we have a few skylines also mostly gts there are only 5 Gtr`s here !

I like the picture where theres a skyline, a supra, 3 EVO's, and a Mighty Max

From my knowledge there isnt much difference between the us and japanese. other than ECU (GTS more aggeressive fuel map utilizing high octane fuels) no EGR and bilstein suspension package options during dealership purchases. a gts is basically a US spec once its on the regular pump gas.
