The MR2 gets a shiny new turbo
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 бер 2020
- Marty has been hacking away at this nugget of an MR2 for weeks and you're (still) along for the ride! The stock turbo looks broken, the intake doesn't work, the dump pipe is wrecked, the bolts all seized. The car doesn't run very well but with some mad new aftermarket parts, the MR2 is going to be reborn ready to battle Moog's MOON Buggy!

Mighty Car Mods hello
@mightycarmods why don’t you use loctite 518 pen for all your gaskets? Means u never have to buy specific kit as you just paint it on and go. Gives 100% contact as well unlike traditional gaskets

Use voice grips on clutch and brake lines if there jammed
run some transmission fluid through the engine for 500 kms and it will clean that carbon right out of it

oh i've been there..
I had a rocker cover bolt snap on me when i tried to remove it from my old Liberty, literally the worst thing I've ever had to fix on a car.
@@mightycarmods hey marty
I don't wanna have to pull my engine again. It's only been like 3 months :'(
The irony of him talking about Camry's. The V6 rear, pretty much needs the entire top of the intake off and a dozen parts, I feel you.
Moog: rebuilds carbs and new fuel system, done.
Marty: rebuilds entire MR2.
I know, wonder if he is planning on keeping the MR2 sure putting a lot of time and $ into it.
The moog already fully modified.
Marty should keep this car seeing as how much work he has put I to upgrading factory parts. Plus the rarity of the car itself. In just a few short year with the way things Are going in the world. These cars are going to be antiques and not like cars from the 1950s. A whole new generation. Of cars that was forgotten and abused and represented automotive execellece of it's time.
Marty: rebuilds entire MR2 by himself. Moog: needs to ask for help to rebuild carb and new fuel system. Haha, it was a unique vehicle, I'll give him that.
@@juggalobigt8888 that would be true if they weren't SHIT CARS
I love how Marty's shed is more professional than the MCM shed
Love that shed. So jealous!
Probably because MCM's shed is actually a warehouse/storage unit while Marty's shed is an actual shed
@@arianwinanto6299 Thanks for clarifying, we all needed that.......
Yea I wonder why they don't just shoot in Marty's shed. Surely having a lift is worth any other issues.
“That didn’t hit the floor”😒
Ain’t that the truth
... dos it ever? If so, Your engine is too small for the car.
Either in the under tray or into a black hole never to be seen again (usually the latter 😭)
MCM.....the real MVP's during home quarantine.
Yeah man.. today is the 10th day of quarantine for us in Malaysia. we got 18 days to go for our quarantine. This video is totally MVP`s.
Go watch Cletus he's the real thing other boostedboiz typing Cletus and watch that starts out with one car and now owns a race track day 3 of hour lockdown in New Zealand hang in there brother
hi 14th day in France and a good MCM video it's what I need.
True legends
I need a shed and a car but i broke
Marty: "You don't hear "Upgraded from Camry" very often"
Yaris Hilton: **upgraded from a Corrolla**
*COROLLA*
Isn't there Camrys in NASCAR? Anything from one of those Camrys would be an upgrade.
Oof
Corollas go hard dude 4age
Anything is an upgrade from a Yaris
The bit of Marty explaining his way of fueling stuff was actually very good, no idea why it stuck out to me, but it was a nice section of the video. Great work as always lads.
I love how in the 80's/90's Japanese car manufacturers just made whatever they thought was cool lol
"Mid engine sports car that looks like a space ship? Sure!"
"4 wheel steering? You bet!"
"Overbuilt, over engineered engines and parts? Ah hell yeah."
"Putting our top of the line engines in Everything we can think of? Wayyy ahead of ya."
And now it's "We pride ourselves on our boring cars".
Even when they come out with engines that have potential, nobody does the R&D to make aftermarket stuff for them anymore, unless it's one of Aasbo's Formula Drift cars xD
Mtndewgang yeah I thought the same when he referenced the engine sharing between the Supra, Soarer, Chaser, Magesta or whatever it was.
You’d think that’d be a cheaper way to go even today, just build 2 or 3 engines that work awesome and have lots of tuning potential, and just give them all different maps from the factory based on which vehicle they’re designated to.
@@roddydykes7053 Well that is what they do now, but with chassis platforms as well as engines. They had so many platforms on the go and it's part of what bankrupted these companies. Now everything is a variant of a shitty crossover SUV hatchback thing because it's cheaper and easier to do that than have 15 cars built off 5 different platforms. It's a shame no one makes anything interesting anymore, but they had to go for boring efficiency to survive.
@@AfferbeckBeats It's funny that you say "to survive", cause companies like Toyota and Honda are bigger now than ever. They make a killing off of these appliances and they know it. If Toyota can make big bucks off of mid engine 4 pots coupes then they'll crank them out like hotcakes, but the people want crossovers and 70mpg and they have money to pay for it so automobile manufacturers will supply the demand as long as there is a market. The sport coupes can only watch with envy from the second hand market. You know it, I know it, we all know it. Goddamnit Toyota make the 4th gen MRs
@@roddydykes7053 these days, some makers don't even make engines, not single one.
You should call it the MRT, doubles as MR turbo and Marty.
*triples as the MR Turbo, MR two and Marty
Mr. T
In Australia is a workshop named MRT. There are many memes about this shop
I swear man my dream home garage is what Marty has. You got a lift and space for all your tools, and you hear the rain on the roof whilst you work on your car which is cosy as hell.
Did you see on the wall? He has air-con in there as well,,, I want his workshop.
Theres something very calm and cool about Marty's presentation style without Moog. Moogs adds the fun sillyness but Marty is like the knowledge based ASMR of the car world lol
So awesome watching Marty working on cars alone.
Aka mr2, pulsar gtir also his old evo 9 when he got his new lockup and hoist.
You see how good he's got at this over the years when he's not clowning around.
But Marty n moog goofing is still funny as thou.
Moog is just annoying. Marty is the soul of MCM
It's the dynamics of the cool and serious with the fun and nutty, that gives MCM its success.
@@supernom Aww man you can't say that about Moog
Idk man in all the feature lengths in Japan and really any other videos I get the excitement chills when moog is narrating a scene of a classic JDM car driving down the road
15:02 - "I've got hose..." Marty channeling his inner Ludacris there.
The subtitles actually say "I've got hoes" lol
Does Australia have lots of area codes?
Elwin Way oh my god they do lmao
7:09 how could they pull this off without cracking a laugh holy shit 😂😂
Did I just watch Marty remove a rocker cover and not paint it ?
Crinkle red.. If you know.. You know!
@@jorgyr36 periwinkle blue...it's for me mar
I thought it was supposed to be resplended? Lol
@@alt7488 Ye what?
(great reference btw)

On this episode of _MARTYcarMods_ ...
ME: *"I SEE WHAT YOU DID THERE"*
ah haha
RoseOfHizaki funny thing is with a Aussie accent it’s almost impossible to differentiate “Mighty” and “Marty” because of the tendency to add a “r” sound after an “a” in all British-derived dialects haha
Marty's Matchbox Makeovers crossover? A tale of two Martys?!
As a Toyota fanboi, this whole series is arousing me.
It has some emission stuff that will “still be there”
like a really really really high flow cat?
@@fellowship_of_the_goat One-cell Cat
It’ll get a cat and after all that effort with the tank we will definitely purge it!
@@mightycarmods If you can still find them SARD made a really good high flow cat.
11:35 30 year old Toyota MR2 for sale, well serviced, twice!
William Stewart it’ll be the second Toyota to do a bearing for MCM
Me: wow I should never get an mr2
Also me after seeing that new turbo and dump: I want an mr2.
Moog: rebuilds carbs, changes oil and plugs....car runs.
Marty: rebuilds entire car, costing more than the original purchase price.
Cheers for pumping out the videos in these crappy times lads
The MR2 community is one of the best. I really hope you love this car as much as the rest of us.
Love watching Marty work on cars man. Can tell he’s really into it and takes it seriously
I like it when I see YT mechanics make dumb mistakes. Makes me happy to know I'm not the only one that gets that "damn, I'm a dumbass" look on his face.
Just when I ran out of things to watch during isolation! Mad!
I smell the elusive binky rears its head every 4-6 MCM episodes
@@garystinten9339 every 4-6 months you mean
Damn this MR2 starting to look real serious with that turbo and a modern ECU
" Its raining thats why theres the sound of rain on the shed" absolutely killed me XD hmm what might cause the sound of rain on a shed?
Thankyou MCM for putting out great content over the past 10+ years. It's times like this that really show just how good the quality of this channel is compared to much of the trash online 😂🤟
Really enjoying this series on the MR2. One of my favorite cars from the 90s. I also like the super charged version of the first gen car.
My Aw11 was great- nowhere near this hard to work on! Preferred NA coz it had sharper throttle response than SC version.
I heard MK1.5's are great. I wouldn't know anymore because I haven't driven mine in 9 months.
As I am watching this, my ladyfriend is watching nature documentary. One of the monkeys from the documentary sounded 110% like Moog, it is awesome. Like Moog is with me watching this.
@NoctuahVenVk fried?
Ladyboy?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA
cheryl watching moog, big surprise.
Did you just compare Moog to a f*cking ape? lol
Your music production quality has been top grade. Mad props
There's something cathartic about watching you guys work on your cars. Just puts me in a better mood.
Hello from Russia from the Altai territory I have been following the channel since 2012
the two best things about Marty's garage is that it has a lift and not haunted
That removing the trunk lid to work on the engine truck is genius, and slick as hell. Looking forward to seeing this thing skid!
Extra injector is most likely a "cold start" injector, my old 90s Volvo had one too.
Loving the direction of the new music! Someone's been listening to infected mushroom! ;)
I really can’t see how this can lose to the Moog Buggy.
MR2 are slow
the moogy
peekuN said by someone whos never been in an mr2
Drag race on a beach
Mr2 are lemons
Buggy is lighter
This is my kind of video. I love the other MCM stuff but watching Marty get stuck in and explaining every step along the way is tremendous.
One of the things i LOVE about MCM is that they keep it real and simple, they didnt become a car channel that is all about flex, just like other youtubers that used to be fun, but now just want to flex expensive stuff that they can put in their cars.
I really miss the smooth elegant styling of 90's sports cars. I wish that kind of design philosophy would make a return to the mainstream.
Thanks for putting this up already guys
It’s saved my day 👍
Stay safe everyone x
Watching you guys over the years, you both have become excellent mechanics with solid skills. Nice work, thanks for bringing us along.
I'm really enjoying this MR2 build. The rusted components and seized bolts just keeps it real.
I was halfway through another video when the notification came up for this episode. I have never said goodbye to anything faster than I said goodbye to that other video.
9:59 "Welp, I'm never seeing that screw/bit/socket again!" Me every time this happens in the engine bay and I can't find whatever I dropped
When the montage tunes started, my inner child wanted glow sticks and a whistle.
Martin, watching you show such care and elegance with autos is truly a treat.
Coming along nicely marty, keep up the good work brother!
thanks mate! trying
MR2: gets “shiny” turbo
Turbo: is finished in matte
A lot shinier than the old one
Sitting here in isolation with a bourbon +lemonade watching MCM. Makes the days simply breeze by. Thanks guys.
Mad props to your videographer for getting buttery smooth shots + keeping the edit super engaging. Good inspo to try when i start my channel. Cheers guys
6:30 Marty's O face as things just finally work and everything fits....!!
That can be a problem for "Ron" amazed to hear you use such niche Aussie slang there Marty lol. For those not sure what that means "Saving it for Ron" = Saving it for later on.
Thanks I was wondering who ron was
I'm British and I know people who use the same phrase 🤷♂️
This is a super interesting project! Keep it up, can't wait to see the end result!
It just popped in my head watching this latest video just how far you two have come in the last few years. Watching your videos from the beginning, when you two struggled with goofy appearance mods, to seeing you rebuilding engines and even whole cars, has been a great journey. I'm not even a "car guy", yet your videos are very entertaining, carried mostly on your personalities and relationship. Thanks for the fun!
Thanks to Covid lockdown, I'm watching all the old videos. Keep up the good content! ✌️
I used to have a black turbo mr2 just like that. Flipped it into a ditch when I was younger. Lol
Good work on this. You have continued to develop your knowledge and ability over the years that I've watched MCM.
The soundtrack for this build is so freaking good!
Good content while I’m quarantine and chilling
The fifth injector might be for cold starts, my 89' VW Scirocco 2 has one too
That's it!
Can confirm, early 90's toyota's tend to have them. my 3vz-fe has one. they also have a tendency to get stuck partially on, causing rich running.
Congrats! Were you watching the video where he mentioned that? Because he did mention that.
Same in about 30 years of jaguar and other euros from my experience
Same with my Datsun. I think they called it a cold start valve, which I found amusing.
The music in this episode is somthing else, love it!
I love this format. Could watch it all day. Keep up the good work!
It’s been brilliant watching someone else suffer with the mk2 😂 they all seem to have a grouchy personality. Still miss it like crazy though
Hang on a minute, bringing a turbo Toyota to an air cooled Kombi fight?
Isn't that like the scene form Crocodile Dundee?
"That's not a knife"
Thanks for continuing to post content guys, it's keeping us entertained and we really do appreciate it.
It's so impressive having such an in-depth understanding of how a car works that you can custom make things/fit generic modern parts in order to actually improve the stock car. I watch some other UA-camrs and you just know they are botching and making things worse. You watch MCM and it's the complete opposite. The explaining super complex stuff in an easy to understand way adds authenticity.
It's also made me want to try fix something up... not that I have the skills or knowledge but it just looks so satisfying.
Hey Marty,
Did you let Cheryl soak overnight for fuller penetration?
Love the MR2 but can’t wait for the GEMINI!!!
As a Toyota owner, I am just loving this build. Love how Marty just digs right in and does a proper job of it. MR2's rock.
I'm loving these MR2 videos. Like seriously so excited when they're released.
of course mr2 owners are friendly nobody else talks to em !
Well this certainly beats looking at corona numbers... Cheers!
MCM should do a Toyota Corona to appease the virus
Moog blowin up those tunes. Freaking magnificent today.
Really great to see this MR2 basically being fully restored. Both the AW11 and the SW20 are two of the most enjoyable and rewarding cars you could find yourself driving. But I'll never forget the first time I drove an SW20, because I instantly bonded with it, like I'd been driving it for years. Within a few minutes of getting in the car I just understood it, and I had no fears about kicking the clutch and getting the tail out around some tight roads. Even with it's quirks, never has a car felt more "right" to me to drive than an SW20, especially after only a few minutes in drivers seat. I always tell people if they have the chance to own or drive an SW20, you just HAVE to do it.
I'm enjoying this format, thanks for the content, watching while huffing jdm melon air fresheners 😷
The air swirls out in the opposite direction you gotta look real close or hold it up to a lamp to see tho...
At this point looking back, do you wish you would have just dropped the engine?
Your future self will always appreciate anti seize! Love that you guys do things so properly.
Thanks for putting together such awesome videos! You’re making my self-isolation bearable!
thats the slowest hoist i have ever seen going down
I thought that too. But bearing in mind this is his at-home setup, I wouldn’t be complaining! I’ll have a lift in my next house, and I sure as shit won’t be 😅
@@lJADU yep, im only 21 but the back pain from working under car is killing me 😂
He'll have lowered it slower because Moog was standing in the boot. Health & safety.
It's an Australian hoist
Single phase lifts aren't as powerful as commercial three phase ones.
I like the parts without music; very zen and peaceful.
The most amazing and probably difficult part is all the research they have done to make these videos. I wish I was as good!
I have my Suzuki Kei Van in parts, engine fully rebuilt but no motivation to get it finished, its been like this for 10 years. Engine rebuilt in the last 4 years, just the little nitty gritty things like fuel hoses, vac hoses, etc... needs replacing. Watching these give me back my motivation to complete my Van, I can almost hear my 550cc Turbocharged engine come back to life.
Feel Like would of been easier just dropping the engine out the bottom 😂
Marty, your absolutely NEED to upgrade the intercooler! The stock intercooler can't handle anything over stock.
100% agreed. A chargecooler is probably the easiest way to go.
Most likely why he ordered a new one and has to figure out how to make it work (as mentioned in the video).
Absolutely loving this series!
Well done Marty. Little by little it is happening.
Great tip on removing the boot cover.
Thanks for sharing.
Marty will do anything it takes to not take that damn engine out haha 😂
Hey Marty. Loving the MR2. Just a heads up on the state of that engine. Ive recently pulled one apart that looked like that and all the oil rings wear blocked not allowing proper lube on the cylinder walls and eventually the bearing. I would highly advise, although a bugger, pulling it out just to inspect the rings and the big ends. Ill send you some pics if you want!
Love to see Marty's shed! By itself it's a measure of how far you guys have come. Good for you Marty!
I really can't wait to see the MR2 running.
Keep it up guys!
11:22 is it wrecked? REKT!
That rocker cover was screaming out for some wrinkle red........
It would have looked resplendent.
I was thinking the same thing, wrinkle black would've also been nice too.
Quick little shave of the lettering and it'd be mint
nah, would make the rest of the bay look worse
Red rocker covers are for honda.
Iv my mr2 turbo engine rocker in turquoise it looks class I'd love to show it to ya
Keep up the good work! Makes the days go faster!
Really loving the show, thanks MCM!
When I see the state Mr. Poo is in I think to myself: maybe it won't be so bad putting new batteries in BEVs in 30 years time.
I love my CT21, ATS killed it with that turbo. Power is insanely linear
Excellent camera work!
