Not too stray from the topic but ... can I just say (MRQturbo) that your MR2 looks awesome in that photo ... you got many more photos of it?

Floater · 09-11-2003, 10:07 AM

out of interest what do you guys reckon I could get out of a Mk3?

JekylandHyde · 09-11-2003, 10:20 AM

I am making 308 RWHP on the original, unopened engine with 195,000 miles.

Mods and dyno can be found on my Web site.

...there are guys making over 500 HP on the stock engine (not sure if it is original, unopened though).

mr2freak · 09-11-2003, 06:22 PM

what kind of 1/4 eta times and trap speeds and 0-60mph would you get with 500 rwhp?? do you have a clue?

StrangeShadow · 09-12-2003, 03:56 PM

I tink most ppl can get their turbo version easily to 300whp and can stilluse the cr as a daily driver.
...I have no clue on the mk3...I've heard of ppl doing a gt-s swap in them though.

why does everyone talk about wheel horse power? in norway we talk aboute the power in the engine, not at the wheels!

add in the 10-15 percent lost to wheel and tranny ect...

you can have 400 horsepower, but if only 200 are getting put down, then you cant really say you have 400 horsepower...

does anyone here have an uprated drivetrain, or are you driving with the original gearbox? how much is it good for?

Floater · 09-16-2003, 10:11 AM

Valid point actually here in the UK we talk about bhp ... which I assume is the actual engine power.

There appears to be a serious lack of Mk3 owners on here! Does anyone know of any other good MR2 (in particular Mk3) boards?

StrangeShadow · 09-16-2003, 03:50 PM

I would think that there aren't very many because the mk3 mr2 was made/designed for a different(economics) crowd.
