@@adaster98 I didn't mean those, natural pops and cracks are fine, my car does it as well.

They sound better cause you're blowing power out the tail pipe and waste gate. Modern turbo setups are more efficient in boost controlling so less power is lost, therefore less sound is heard
The body kit isn't OTT like a lot you see which I like. Actually first thought it was OEM. I remember sitting in this or a mazda mx2 with a custom exhaust and it was a headturner
Big up Steve what a down to earth owner absolutely loved this Feature 👌 Jamie your taking over UA-cam content in this category by far. Such variety of cars and your edits are on point. Keep the content coming 💚👌
@@jose_s_bam7938 lol, nope has been totally reliable. Maintenance is essential then you don't worry about it. Ran for 6 years in my ownership with BPU then wanted more power so the engine was built to handle more. Since 2014 no issues.
@@UnseenSpirit This was done over 10 years. The engine build was around £4000 excluding parts. If I add up everything it's crazy. Just gather your parts first then find a good engine builder. Are you in the UK?
Now that's a motor you don't see all the time. I've seen the n/a versions when I was growing up but the turbo version is rare as fook. Big props to the owner just down to earth and another great video.
Trust me 😂. Imagine coming across one of them and hearing its engine when driving off. My friend's friend has one like that along with a M5. It's cool but you'll probably have a lot of people racing you and getting false hopes that they probably beat a ferrari 🤣
Great video. You can't beat old skool cars. The sense of driving achievement with no driver aids, manual box and a real exhaust note and turbo spooling. Love it
You've gotta love a decent set up! Didn't go for stupid power it can't put down, didn't slam it on wheels with no tyres. Mad respect for this car, it's function over form factor is beautiful!
Picked a good one here Jamie, top credit to the owner and what he’s got the car looking like today. Man like Steve short shifts often so respect for him letting you hold out through the gears and get a proper feel of that full boost in something old school 👍🏼
Had a GTS Turbo and had a bit of a play with a TVR . It was all going good till i got to a roundabout and the arse end came out so corrected and then I was facing the opposite direction. When they go...they GO.
That's because it's a Rear Mid Engine car. All cars like this (Ferrari, Lamborghini, and clearly Porsche - it being a true rear engine)have the snap tendency if you don't know what shifting weight does to your car.
I use to have one of these around the same sort of power. That turbo noise from behind you neber gets old. It was by far one of best cars I ever had....Years of joy with mine
You drive a nostalgic car, a modern car is the other way round due to nanny driving aids the car drives you. When the car dances around then you have to drive it and that's the beauty of old school. Nice!!
@@Lumalee- Yep, not a chance it was ~12seconds to 60. Sounded like he went from 1st gear to 3rd, skipping #2. It'll hit 70mph in second gear. And not a chance in hell it's 10plus seconds with four hundred ponies, skipping second I think. Or it was just waiting for the turbo lag to go away and build boost pressure. Maybe set too high with a big turbo and needed time to build to the psi so took longer to hit sixty. My guess anyway...
Class vid again Jamie, mans a good crack fair play to him! He’s right about that spool man so addictive, and it isn’t all about how much power when you’re in an old school motor like that! Loved the vid, love the car 👍🏽 #gassedgang
@@WRP_2003 Nah, my goal was achieved. Been around the SW20 long enough to know over like 450hp it starts becoming a one trick pony. The urge is there but the power is just at the balance between usability and power.
Phewww right hand drive nice!!!! Clean MR2 I’ve ever seen. The MR2s I seen here in California driveways are catching spider webs and haven’t been moved in years. Reason why I love turbos, the beautiful sounds it makes...
OMG!! That's MY old car. It used to run 1.3 bar through that Apexi and a 150 shot of gas. If you look in the boot floor you'll see a couple of pairs of holes from the bottle brackets. I miss that car every day. I remember the first week I had it I went to a dyno day. It only made 268hp but was all over the back of my mates GT4 that made 323hp. I guess weight,transmission loss, gearing. With the gas it would step out in the dry at 90. I can't recommend Rev3 + SW20s enough. It had a Toms scoop. Not sure if it was taken off. I'll post some vids, I've got a few of her. Oh and it'll do 60+ in second revving out to 7250. You don't need 3rd. Man I miss it. I sold it in 2008. I put new bilsteins and tein top mounts, tints, Short shift kit,Tom's parts, Apexi avcr, Exhaust , polybushes, steel caged gearbox and 6 puk clutch and a wet nitrous kit. s3.photobucket.com/user/Cooptub/library/MR2%2520Rev3%2520Turbo
Hahaha no way. I bought it in August '08 from Norwich think it was from you. Lots of change since then mate. Fully built engine. The clutch lasted till 2016. Changed it for another 6 puk. Running 431bhp now This is really a small world. Check out my instagram Odin_S8

Really made me smile. I'd love another one. I've had modern performance cars and other than the power delivery you'd never know a Rev3+ MR2 is 25+ years old. And who like smooth power deliveries?! 🤣🤣
@@realMaverickBuckley Yes mate thanks, the SW20 was one of the cars I always wanted when i was a kid. So i always keep this car pristine. Many things have happened in life but i don't think i can sell this car. As you said nothing quite like it. Take it easy mate 👍
One of the best looking cars of that era. Would love if a company was pumping out new cars that had this level of style with the relatively low price point
Awesome car dude, if the speed matters remap it to pick up the boost earlier and linearly. Also a ignition cut switch on gearstick for full throttle shifting
I had one! It was a 1994 Stock MR2 Turbo T-bar which I imported from Japan. I didn’t make any mods to it but it did go on the dyno once and was 250HP. I really liked it and only sold it because I left UK to live overseas. I had the Mk 1 MR2 before that, another lovely car. Both very expensive if you can find one these days.
This is one of the nicest mr2s I've seen. Just watched boostedbois k20 twin turbo which made over 500 at 10 psi for just a base tune, they just need to make theirs look as good as this now
Another sick video! What a car! Everytime I watch one of Jamie's videos tho, I can't help but cringe at the thought that the layby just into that national zone is probably a hot spot for a camera van and I'd be paranoid af! Keep at it Jamie 💪💪🤛🤛
Had a Mr2 around 14 years ago but was a a non turbo version. Not long ago also had the Toyota Celica Gt4 UK model which was one of the best cars I ever owned and drove. Love the old school content tho and the owner seems like a cool person too. 👍

Love it, cleanest one I've seen in a long time. I had 2 of these bad boys, one with 270hp and one with 300hp they are fast as f even when running at stock 240hp
Hey Jamie, thank you. I can see you made a huge afford to cut down on the the JC's. I really appreciate it! I really enjoyed the video. Respect thanks!
90's turbo cars just sound so much better then the new shit we have these days.
True. And those artificial 'light' pops and burbles in everything nowadays, so childish
Anthony Davis Also they looks better, drives better ( for my taste ) , better quality, better to work.. Old - Youngtimer ❤️

Love the way the owner made it look. Nice wheels and HIDs really set it off and kind of makes it look modern.
Best looking MR2 with power to match 👌
Looks like something of Tokyo drift
The body kit isn't OTT like a lot you see which I like. Actually first thought it was OEM. I remember sitting in this or a mazda mx2 with a custom exhaust and it was a headturner
Back in the day like 10 years ago there was a mr2 specialist that used to sell them headlights. They are 👌
Thanks Jamie for the quality film . Trust me it's much faster while you're inside.
Enjoyed filming with you bro.✌

What a nutter. Standard single piston brakes with 430hp. Bet it feels lethal! Had one with 350hp back in 2003, was a riot.
Obviously not the fastest but indeed a piece of JDM art 💪🏼 stunning car bro
That was my exact car. In 08 she ran a 13.8@104 near stock. Just Exhaust, Apexi avcr at 1.2 bar. That was 282hp. At 430 it'll be capable if a 12 flat.
@@realMaverickBuckley Mine, a stock gen 3 with minor mods ran 0-60 in 5.7s. So clearly this would rip.
