MR2 in the making

[niterydr]

That's the same as a MKIII Supra right? What all is done to this thing anyways? I didn't see a modlist. I know my poopra buddies say the turbo outlet/elbow (equivalent to a DSM/Evo o2 housing) is a pretty big gain on their cars, same for MR2's?


Do you plan on upgrading the stock turbo some day or just having fun with it as is?

Typically people will just upgrade the downpipe completely instead of an outlet. The dual scroll design means that the "o2 housing" is huge and a giant mess of exhaust area.

This reminds me I need to update my thread, maybe tonight when its on the road finally.

MKIII Supra's CT-26 turbo is different than the 3SGTE's CT-26. The downpipe flange are different and the 3SGTE have twin entry wastegate flapper instead of one flapper.

My plans are just basic bolt ons(intake, intercooler, exhaust, downpipe, etc..). Maybe some cams in fall or next winter. As for turbo, still undecided. I will definitely be using this CT-26 this summer. Maybe as big as a GT35r but that'll be in a year or 2. I wish there was an affordable simple tuning system link how we have ECMlink for our DSM.

A used AEM ems would be a good deal. And you can make any version work as long as it's from a 4 banger and you get the harness. :)

There is actually a PNP version. I've tuned on on a MR2 and one on an AllTrac (same box if memory serves correct)

A little update. I got a few layers of white primer on the front bumper but need to go buy more primer. Found a cheap set of euro lights. Will be picking up a wideband this week and solid side moldings next week. In a few weeks I'll be ordering my OEM parts and I should be able to install the bumper and tail lights. I also got some of the side moldings pained. Just need to paint the passenger side vent and door moldings.

Euro signals. Thinking about getting some amber LED for the clear part.

I run a chipped honda ECU on mine. $150 engine management baby. I did a write up on it over on mr2oc a few years ago.

Got some of the OEM parts in today. L brackets came with it so I was ready to install the kouki tail lights.

Bumper put on to just test fit. Need to buy the solid molding and wait for the license plate bracket to come in.

The hose couplers that came with the intercooler kit weren't the correct size. I'm guessing that's the cause of it to not stay idling. I will be ordering a 1 piece Berk Tech cold pipe to replace the 2 piece. That'll be 1 less coupler and 2 t bolt clamp to worry about.

It's been a while since I've touched this thread. Here's 2 photos from October before the MR2 sat in the garage.

Picked up some OEM side vents. Much more cleaner looking than before.
