Drifting Dane · 07-30-2005, 12:08 PM

ToyotaTechGeek · 07-30-2005, 12:20 PM

Wtf!?!?!

***MR2Jedi*** · 07-30-2005, 02:22 PM

Piddy · 07-30-2005, 02:49 PM

Probably a twin turbo V12.

yeah, so what if I'm a noob? anyway I don't really have a clue how many generations the MR2 has but I'm just wantin to know what kind of engine would be best for the most power, cause I'm thinking about doin a kit car based on the MR2 and I want it to have as much power as the Ferrari it's modeled after

I've seen the camry V6 in them. and GM V6...you're best bet is the 3sgte that the turbo version comes with. build it to 400HP.....been done many times...$$$$! PS.- there are only 3 gens of the MR2

Tucson302 · 07-30-2005, 08:05 PM

hmm, thanks man since I don't know much about toyota's right now I'm a little in the dark about most of it

Ruffrydasean · 07-31-2005, 09:15 AM

We're just messin with ya.. your not as bad as some people... :P

Tucson302 · 07-31-2005, 12:12 PM

hey, at least I know the name and make of the car right? I know some people that could care less what the name or make was just so long as they could get one

TRD2000 · 07-31-2005, 09:28 PM

so why bother asking about a gen IV if you weren't even sure they existed?

hmm

QuadCamSix · 07-31-2005, 11:46 PM

Give him a break, he is here to learn.

Your best bet for reliability with a lot of power is the MR2 MKII drivetrain from a turbo car. 91-98 The best motor IMO for that car is the 3.4L 5VZ-FE. It makes right around 220 ft/lbs torque before superchargeing. There are people making better than 300horsepower and 350 ftlbs of torque with the TRD supercharger and 2.2" pully. If I were building a supercar replica though, I would just put in a 1UZ V8 with a G50 box and make some REAL power.

Tucson302 · 08-01-2005, 07:22 AM

wow! thanks, yeah I'm wanting this car(if I get the body) to have some good power to the wheels, because its a replica of a Ferrari 360(spyder I think, convertible version whatever it is) and allthough the originals didn't really pump out a lot of power it'd still be nice to have a fast and hot ride, ya know what I'm sayin?

Drifting Dane · 08-01-2005, 12:32 PM

well the only ferrari 360 kit made is (i beleive) for the mrs... thatd be a gen. 3

as for swaps into that chassis i dont know much about, lets see what others say.
