These are the words my tuner posted on the MR2 board (mr2oc.com).

We're ready

The clutch was slipping.

I was not able to put timing in the car.

All that stuff is a lot better now.

The boost creep problem was addressed with a complete Autolab setup. The creep issue is much better. The damaged GT35R that utilized a T04E housing was replaced with a completely new GT35R that utilizes a T04S housing.

Here's more information on the turbo kit:

I was able to put proper ignition timing for the fuel used into the engine.

Here is this year's dyno at 28 psi versus last year's 23 psi creeping to 27 psi plot:

Congrats man thats some serious power your making there

[MR2Jedi]

whoa ! Thats alot of HP.. for any car. But especially for a 4cyl... And i love the torque .. talk about pull.. So care to take a guess at up coming 1/4 mile times? 9's ?

[PhatRoyale]

Those are some very healthy numbers! That MR2 must fly

[RedPhoenix]

too amazing

[toyotaspeed90]

did you do an actual 23psi vs 23psi run to compare how the new changes have actually had an effect? or are you just showing some stuff was done and then an additional amount of boost added?

[JekylandHyde]

Thanks for the kudos everyone ... it's great when a lot of hard work pays off.

MR2BAD, I'm not want to take 1/4-mile guess, I prefer to let the timeslips speak for themselves. However, I will say this car will not go 9s with this power level.

toyotaspeed, if you note the last line of NoShoes' text prior to the actual graph, it said last year we dynoed at 23 psi and creeped to 27 psi. What that means is that we could not run 23 psi last year. We could not control boost at all and it would creep to 27 psi by redline regardless if we were trying to run 12 psi oo 23 psi or 25 psi.

In reality, the comparison of the graphs doesn't really show much as far as something to learn from. It's just entertaining to see the huge gains over the power we had last year.

Holy crap! Grats, Jeff, good luck this year, that car is wicked.

i saw on the other board noshoes was talking about tuning with e85. did he use that on hyde?

[JekylandHyde]

Nope, we used the same old 110 leaded wee usually do.

Oh, and here is a fun comparison.

i believe a better term would be "depressing" for us in the land of bpu mr2s.
