Mk1.5 0-60....?

[GabMR2]

Hey guys, just wondering what the average quarter-mile is for the mk1.5. I've heard mid to low 12's. I'm still planning on having a swap done in the future and i'm curious to know what the MK1.5's numbers are. I want to know:
1. MK1.5 0-60 with the 3S-GTE stock turbo
2. MK1.5 0-60 without turbo
3. MK1.5 1/4mile with turbo
4. Mk1.5 1/4mile without turbo
5. What boost does the stock turbo on the 3S-GTE run?
6. How much would a performance shop charge for a swap?

I've been told that I could match or even beat the amazing performance of the 3S-GTE engine in the MK1 body (1.5), with only the 4AGZE. I was told to use the advantage of the low-end power Supercharger from the ZE to help with the initial take-off and low RPM's of the race and when the effective'ness of the Supercharger wares out, a continous dose of Nitrous-Oxide would help with high-end power and eventually lead to the defeat of the MK1.5. IS THIS TRUE?!? Because, if it is....its what i will do, since the swap for the 4AGZE is cheaper. I would do the swap myself if i knew enough, but i still feel new to this Car repair and modification experience. (Please, i don't want to hear any cursing or bashing of these questions, since i am still learning, and it f*ck'n pisses me off)

Thank you

They never could pin down its terminal velocity (lift). I think its front wheels were coming up, about 165 (e.g., vertical rear window; MR2s are not top end cars).

Did you get your numbers from the mid-90's??? There are at least a couple of MKII guys in the states hitting 9's..... guys in Japan have been doing it for years. You should check your sources.... and stop making assumptions
