Hey all, I'm new here... Just bought a 91 MR2 Non turbo today... And I got some question i need to ask... First off I want to start with the intake, are the cheap ebay kind all we have? If no can someone point me in the right direction... I'll have more questions to come... Thanks

welcome to TN... I think AEM, Apexi, and some other companies make intakes for the N/A. but as long as there are the right ports for AFM and length/diameter , they're just as good. you can always add a K& N later..I paid $30.00 shipped for the one on my Spyder. cuz I'm a cheap bastard. but it works great... there's not as much engine stuff out there for the 5sfe as for the 3sgte.. lots of body stuff tho...

Ok a question... This might be a stupit question (or maybe I just think so) but I really need to know... The cover that cover the engine bay... it has like 2 openning. (meaning if look down you can see the engine) I need to wash the car, water/soap is going to go down those 2 openning, is that ok? And what about when it rain, it's ok? Thanks I'm a really big noobie here :P

Yeah, the water shouldnt really hurt anything. I have seen where people have bad spark plug wires and there car wont start when they get wet, but thats the only problem I have ever heard of.

no, water from rain won't hurt. but be a little care when using hi pressure hose and the like. make sure your plug wires are secure. they do have a rubber cover to prevent water from entering the plug access holes. really nothing much to worry about..

Maybe this has been posted already but I can't seem to find it... My question is, is suspension (sway bar, spring, etc...), and body stuff (body kits, projector headlight, etc...) are they the same for N/A and turbo?

wassaup....

to me a intake is a intake...if anything that matters, it would be the filter.

i would suggest AEM/KN&N

My MR2 has had a cone on it (right under the vents in the cover actually, but facing down) for 2 years (previous owner), with no issues. I do plan to pipe a new cold air one... as this hot air intake sucks!

Well, there are more options for the NAs (5sfe) than people realize, its just that the gains really arent worth the money you put into it.

I beleive front strut bars are the only suspension component that will fit the SW21 and not the SW20. Bodies are the same. a kit for a turbo is a kit for an NA.
