well when i my rpms go up i lose torqe mainly around 5-6 its not a good thing ...but do any of you guys know what it might be?

It would help to know which MR2 you have.
I am guessing you have the turbo MR2?

.. .if so, that is normal. The turbocharger is a low rpm, fast spolling unit and it runs out of flow after 5500 rpms.

The car was not designed to pull hard to redline.
Throw a bigger turbo in and you will bull all the way to redline but lose a little on the low end.

yeah man i have no power past 6500 so i rarely ever redline mine,
should be normal, what year? and miles ?

Hows that hybrid snail treatin' you in the high-rpms (5K+) Can you spank stock Gen 4 Supras with your set-up? (I'm gonna assume so, since ya said that your pushing around 300hp+ (to the wheels, once again, I'm ASSuming this.) )

Thanks,

Very impressive, I'm sure I could look around and find this, but do you happen to know off the top of your head what the stock Turbo MR2 runs? ('91)

***MRQtwinturbo*** · 02-20-2004, 08:08 AM

stock turbo...should run mid to high 14s with any decent driver.....

maybe my turbo is different but i recently turned up boost to 15 psi with use to a fuel cut defencer, but i pulls wuite well all the way to redline, i havent changed the turbo and it is a CT26, could it possibly be the larger CT26 that is normally sought after as a chep upgrade from stock for the 91-92
