Hey i was wondering if anybody here has put a turbo on an original 2.2L MR2 i am wanting to do it to mine but im not really sure if the 5sfe can and would hold up. but if so would i need new injectors, valves etc.

I got the intake and exhaust but the problem is finding somebody that acually knows what they are doing when it comes to doing the swap.... if anythin i would like it to at least keep up with my brothers car

what kind of cars do your brothers drive?

A 92 VR4 i know my expectations are a little high

but i would at least like to show him what the mr2 is made of.

^ VR4's aren't that quick. 5SFTE isn't a great project if you don't know what you are doing. Either do a full swap or find a capable shop to do your 5sfte.

i am not an mr2 guy, but i have learned to talk to them with my 5s turbo stuff lol

you can check my webpage and search 5sfte or 5sfe turbo or camry turbo and you can see... i am running 5 psi now and it is going well *knock on wood*, seems to be speculation and a few good results that 8psi SHOULD do ok with all the right settings

VR4s are quick.
People under-estimate them like crazy.
BUT... if you put a 3S-GTE in your N/A you'll be in range.
Then its up to driver skill.

And, yeah, definately dont build a 5S-FTE.
I've literally heard nothing but bad news about them.
3S swap all the way.

Even when my mr2 only has 60,000 original miles on it? you would still recomend a swap?

How bout just building up the 5SFE for NA power??

Hey Nate, where are you in Stl? I'm gonna have to come up and check that baby out someday. I'm still torn between a 3s swap or slappin' one on the 5s. It would be cool to see how the 5s works out.
