October 17, 200618 yr ha ha ha even mine will probably beat that, not that ive tried :slap: Membership No 0780 INSURANCE GOOFA Datascan, Conzult, ECUTalk and a few others I have all the rare bits you can't find :tongue::tongue:
October 17, 200618 yr Just because it's top speed isn't the same as the Zed's doesn't automatically mean it's not quicker on acceleration His claims for 600bhp may very well be bull shit as it's very very expensive to get that sort of power from even a Rev3 version. A standard MR2 Turbo is only 0.2 seconds slower to 60 than a standard Zed and simple boost upgrades will see the standard unit producing around 260bhp. Bearing in mind the MR2 has a sizeable weight advantage over 300zx, it's not too difficult to see that they can be easily tuned to wave bye byes to the 300ZX TT as much as it pains me to admit it.
October 17, 200618 yr Unless he's running a stroker kit, he's got no chance of it being 600bhp, saying that though, fensports corolla is circa 600bhp with the same 2.0 engine! A stock (delimited) mr2 turbo will do 150mph anyways, so if his was 600bhp, it still had a lot more to go. Although i doubt very very much that it was 600bhp!
October 17, 200618 yr 600BHP :slap: BUT have to agree with Si I have been in a tuned MR2 that would Hammer a standard to slightly tuned 300 :cry:
October 17, 200618 yr Some lad at work rekons he has a 3.0 tt renault laguna! I asked why have you put 1.8rt badges on it then?
October 17, 200618 yr Look in the july issue of Banzai magazine..There is a 750 hp mr2 in there,Built by a japanese tuning company called Alfa..
October 17, 200618 yr Can vouch for mr2 turbo been quicker than zed on accleration as i own one but zed quicker at top end for sure, tis the old power to weight ratio game.Zed built for speed and comfort,mr2 more of a track car better handling.
October 17, 200618 yr Alfa and phonenix power in japan run serious bhp 600-1000 bhp mr2s :shock: .Still a hairdressers car. :tongue:
October 17, 200618 yr one of my lads works for me is pushing 512bhp in his mr2 with dyno printout. it leaves me for dead but it only wheighs the same has a hair dryer :rofl:
October 19, 200618 yr Author saw his car pass me the other way yesterday, it was an na LOL!! i would have passed him in my diesel audi LOL!! yep im afraid i have to agree these little mr2 turbos are highly underated & weigh the same as a j cloth!! couple of tuning mods and away you go. still prefer the zed though, ( incase my brother is reading this )
October 19, 200618 yr Pretty sure i saw on IMOC or MR2OC the Alpha MR2 was last dynoed at 1012 bhp deffo seen the vid of it at 800bhp
