Today's video really needs no introduction. If you've ever wondered what a first gen Toyota MR2 (AW11) would feel like with the much more powerful 3S-GTE engine found in the second gen MR2, then here it is. Thanks Bob for allowing us to take the car for a day, it was a whole bunch of fun and there's only a handful of other vehicles I'd rather be cruising Pacific Coast Highway in. Enjoy!

No modern car can compete with a 80-90's sports car thrill and feeling. Today everything has to be faster and better, but that's not always better.
Yeah and almost every car today is computer driven there's no more connection between driver and car :(
@@vipbeef2174 exactly. Even if the cars are better in every way on paper, we don't get as much fun out of them as we do in 30 year old cars.
@@kevenld yeah because in the old days driver and car talk and communicate with each other but now its the car that controls the driver
@@vipbeef2174 well, to this day the driver still controls the car, but it's more of an illusion. The driver is not directly controlling the car. Instead, the driver sends information to the computer, and the computer decides what to do with it. If the computer doesn't want you to floor it, you won't be able to.
@@kevenld yeah its like the car has a will of its own
That's how you do a classic import build. Not boosted to the moon, but enough power to be fully streetable and still fun. Analog goodness, minus the updated electronics of course.
I’m so happy to be a part of the MR2 community, these are the best cars Toyota ever made! 🤙
Nah that title goes to the Landcruiser and Supra...MR2 is very neat little machine tho!
Stefan S I mean I might be a little biased but idk....
@@stefan3225 MR2 is equally as special. They were built by a separate group or craftsmen in a completely different plant, all assembled by hand. That is exceptionally rare for a Toyota product. They were/are special.
To be honest the only car cooler than the mr2 is a Toyota chaser
frank white I respect your opinion, Supra and celica are both dream cars for me as well, but I gotta say mr2 is probably the most unique one in my opinion
AW11 MR2 probably my favorite car that I have owned. Like a go-cart with license plates
I had a 1986 model gold with black wheels. Racing seats and all the bells and whistles. I live in Nashville, Tennessee. And one thing he doesn't know. But I will tell everyone, Is that it is absolutely great in the snow. You have no problems in the snow climbing hills, turning or anything and it's so much fun. I was involved In a head on collision where with a truck that crossed the yellow line and hit me. Head connected driver headlight to driver headlight. And it tore down the whole driver's sadd, which. Pinned my feet together crush. My foot broke ribs, shoulder Snap my wrist into . I had surgery but worst of all. I lost my car and I miss it so much.
Selling my AW11 was a sad day, watching this made me want another one. Miss that car so much, I can only imagine what, that was like with that engine!!!
Get another one buddy, I had one years a go.... just picked up my second one recently and I dont regret it one bit. This one isnt as sweet as my first, but who cares, its an AW11!!!!!! 😁
Gawd I love how small that car is.
You guys deserve to be growing faster. Your video's are so amazing! One of the only channels that does really good exterior car audio. I love hearing the turbo cars spool up.
Great video and ride along. I had a 1984 MR2 when living in Japan in the early 90's. It was the most enjoyable car to drive. Even though I sat on the right, and shifted with my left hand, it took about 30 seconds on the test drive to become infatuated. The handling was exhilarating.
This ticks so many boxes for me. Awesome build! Thanks for the video.
Awesome build!! Loved the review. Epic shots, scenery and music as always!
Old-school over new school for life♥️
This is a great and unique car! Even in stock form is so tasteful and well designed for its age! Totally functional and analog feel and with this swap I bet it must be so engaging! It surely is a car that's worth all the hype and the appreciation it can get
That road looks a lot like "California Highway" in Project Cars.
my first car was an 86 AW11 even in stock form the handling is incredible !!!
Neptune's Net, nice. I thought it looked familiar. Was keeping an eye out for a orange T top supra.
Great car and great vid man...you've come a long way since I first watched your vids. I got on your shit a bit for your tech knowledge, but you've definitely found your groove over time. Way to stay in there and keep on creating man...solid. You're content and production quality should have you above 500k...marketing and diversity is all I can guess...gotta push it harder somehow. Gotta get there.
Amazing car and beautiful footage!
I just got a 1986 mr2 Supercharged recently and i absolutely love it!!
Awesome video 🤘🏼 AW11 FTW!
Im going to be buried in my MR2
ohmycrap, that is legit EXACTLY what I want to get my mr2 too! Its quite the treat getting to see the future of my car :) lol
Can’t get enough of RoadsUntraveled...keep up the great work!
Brilliant edit and content 🔥
This video really make my lunch break!
Very Nice quality bro keep up!!!
My dream MR2 right here.
I miss my old AW11 SC. Same colour as mine with my new cars engine. Nice build
Next time you're around, I might have my AW11 up and running!! BEAMS 3S-GE swap, here I come!!
Wow. I’ve never driven a mid engine car, this is a real dream. Thank goodness for Tomica!
I read from a manga that the designed rear wheel width was larger than the fronts, but the japanese law forced them to be the same when retailing. The manga also said the designed wheel width would make the car performs better. I do not own an aw11 and have no chance to prove that. Maybe you can do a video on that.
i’m so excited for when i can get and aw11 as my first car cuz i wanna learn about cars more and more and this car seems perfect for it
That's the way a 3sgte should sound.
My first experience with the Señor Dos (I live in Tucson) came in the early 90's when my buddy Stu had a Supercharged '89 MR2. I had a Chevy C10, and whenever he needed to haul drywall or 2x4's from Home Depot, we'd swap vehicles for the day; he did a lot of remodeling in his house, so I got to drive his li'l coupe a lot! I don't remember exactly what he'd done engine-wise, I know it was swapped out for something bigger, but also supercharged (the engine was Toyota, but the supercharger may have been aftermarket), but it very well done, the whole drive train and suspension was upgraded, even the brakes. What I do remember is it had somewhere between 220 - 240hp, and while 350hp is great, I personally think what his had was just perfect for a car that size/weight. It wasn't overwhelming for the car, it let you really dig into it, and it remained totally controllable, it was perfect! Now that I've got a Spyder with a bad engine, I'm contemplating what I'm going to put in it, to try to get about that same output, maybe closer to 250hp, but that's it. If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know! Gotta love the littlest midships runabout!
Hard to argue against k series engines but 2zz engine would also be nice, probably easier too
i just love this video so much!!!!!!
I miss my 88 NA Mr2 it was my first cool car that I owned bought it I think in 92 for $6500 car is still one of the best cars I've owned and I've owned quite a few being now 47 years old.
That's the motor I want in my Mk1... I have so much with the 4AGE, can't wait for triple the HP.
Sounds amazing!
This is what I wish to achieve in my MA60 Toyota Supra. A 2jz from a Mk4 Supra into my lighter and smaller Mk2 Supra. Modern power and reliability with the 80s style. I'll also want a matching mr2 like this one in the video but in white.
with a big ol boat anchor at the front. you'd be better off with a lighter and cheaper LS.
@@Hlidskjalfff if I was really that worried about it I'd put a 1uz than an LS just to keep the same manufacturer. But yeah can't go wrong with a good ol pushrod v8.
Amazing that the rear end in this came from the front end of a Corolla.
I need an AW11. Nice wheel work there too mate
takes me back to when i had my 1980 Toyota corolla te72 liftback. Damn what a fun car to drive. The 3tc was not the most powerful engine. But it was very responsive. You could keep it in throttle through most turns and never break traction... well unless you really wanted too. Sold it to keep my home. but if I could ever find another one. I would buy it in a heartbeat.
That thing is just bad ass! Lovely machine!
Driving my AW feels more fun than my SW, though its no where near as fast. This makes me wanna take my 4th gen from my SW and put it in my AW =P
You might need to make a trip over to NC to come drive my 1991 Celica GTS. It was built by Allen Wood from Wilde Lexus Sarasota. Powered by a 3rd Gen WRC 3SGTE mated to an E153 w/ Quaife LSD, Full suspension, BBK and nice wheel/Tire combo. Im only mentioning it because this AW!! sounds exactly like my car.
gen5 3sgte is a Caldina or rav4 engine, never was in any MR2 from factory. The ct15 does come on boost a little earlier than the 20b but both being hybrid it's hard to say exactly what the change is like. the engine is higher compression than the gen2/3 engines so the lag is a little less also. that chargecooler is also gonna help the power, nice short pipework too.
should be mad fun in a mk1 :D
Clicked for the build, stayed for my favorite roads!
I have been a car person my whole life and to be honest this car is just so special to me
Wow that must be extremely fast 💨
I want this setup!! I need this setup!! One day!! Great Video!!
I love driving the Hwy 1. I'm surprised by how little traffic there was on the video.
Never any traffic on the PCH around noon on a Tuesday haha.
Most of my car were MR2s. In order: 86 NA, 87SC, 93 NA, 93T, and 93 2GRFE MR2 (which I sold and miss alot)
SW11 MR2? awesome
They're more commonly referred to as a Mk1.5 xD
Honestly in a way the mr2 was toyotas porsche and toyotas miata. Such a great car. Wish they kept making them.
SUCH A FUN CAR AND EPIC LOOKING SHRAP AND SLEEK!!! OMG!!! TOYOTA POWER!!!
Mr2s UNITE!
driving down the pacific hwy past Neptune's net in my mk3 supra is my dream, once i get it running.
3s has a mean growl
2:36 oooooOOOOH THAT DOWNSHIFT
Cup car for the streets 🤩
If you think this car feels insane, try driving an AC Cobra with a 427 in it. Similar weight bias but with a front mid engine it won't snap oversteer as easily, weighs about the same overall and has surprisingly good driving dynamics for such an old design. At any speed at all, in any gear, if you're cruising and punch the throttle, it feels like someone rear ended you it comes on so hard. If they're tuned up right, they make about 500 NA horsepower too. I've never driven or ridden in anything that comes close.
I need that F22c chain!
Hi there, I think the steering feel is due to the balance completely upset by the amount of weight added on the rear axle. With my K20A2 (see my last video to know why) swapped one, the steering feels very composed and stable actually ;) Nice video by the way !
What kind of trans is in there I want to do a 3sgte swap but am not sure what trans fits on it
Nice nod to the shrimp scene haha, movie star eating and all
nobody:
toyota mr2: did you say snap oversteer?!?!?!?
1991 mr2s be like:
its an aw11, its all good.
For 1990-1993 SW20/21 only. Pretty much resolved after that and the AW11 didn't suffer from it. I owned a 1992 SW20 for a decade and survived. Even drove it through a Wisconsin winter with bald summer tires one year. It was hairy but I'm proof it can be done.
Snap oversteer is a driver error in ALL mid engine cars. It's a mistake that you have to be pretty stupid to make, so that's why an affordable turbo mid engine car is known for it.
The aw11 and zzw30 are plenty capital of snap oversteer.
Alright you're driving your mr2 fast through the twisty road and you start plowing through a turn with understeer and then you decide to hold the front wheels in place whilst not having front end traction and you let off the throttle to try to slow down and regain traction. What this actually does is shift all of the weight forward which does get the front wheels back their traction and the front end turns but the rear end whips around like a spinning top because the weight already shifted forward and off of the rear wheels.
Another issue is when you let off the throttle in an older turbo car,
The weight shifts forward and the boost kicks in, easily loosing traction in the rear.
The small change made to the sw20 suspension was in 93 not 94
@@jcrispykilpatrick9504 i've NEVER had an issue with my aw11 with snap over steer. It was a known problem for very early SW20, which was revised. Maybe if people did do dumb mods to their cars they might have the same issue. But haven't known an aw11 to have it.
That F&F bit XD
Im in the process if building my aw11, its my dream car i wouldnt trade my aw11 for anything
Say "Celica" the right way!
Finding myself watching a lot of your videos lately and getting inspired for my sw. What's that song right at the start of this one?
Oh mannn, I'll be silvertop swapping my Aw11 but damn does that thing look and sound amazing. One day..
I miss my lightweight sports cars. Sub-2000lbs is where it's at!
*It’s all fun and games till snap oversteer kicks in*
They’re such fun little cars even when all stock/na. Thanks for sharing the review with us all :)
5th gen 3sgte!
how much was spent in the conversion? Very very cool result! Bravo!!
Man you should be in F&F movies
Great car. Also don't know where you filmed this - but its very beautiful. Northern Cali? Pacific North west ? Canada ? Those roads and that scenery looks totally my kind of place. If they have good seafood and beer, I am booking my flight..............
best looking generation
The soundtrack for this video is very popular
Get Bob to put one in your sw20 too.
still building my 3sgte from caldina gtt 4th gen .got fmic 3inch full exhaust bov 4pot brakes but the rest is stock. please share ideas. turbo is ct15
dream garage: this car right here and an LS swapped 944 :)
I miss my 86 mr2 😢
My roommate has a stock MR2 and I'd love to see it turned into a drift car or at least given a tune up or an engine swap to something similar.
Pulls really great.what are the mods done on thus 3sgte engine?
Classic 💟
I will own one one day.
Speedy speed boy
Anyone know where I can get a 3sgte gen4 swap into my sw20 here in Cali ?
I'm in love
That restaurant... Fast and Furious anyone?
Yeah, and the same idea scenario "Dom, there's no way in hell where you pay for all that shit under the hood doing tune-ups and selling groceries, whatever you're in on, I want in on it too"
Whats funny is the 3sgte was the AW11 MR2 original engine when they built it for Groub B rally racing.
Better than most cars today
Amen to that one...
@@AustinMBecker yep
Video makes me sad , I owned and aw11, it's the one that got away, miss it so much...
I hate how much I love the AW11.
Nice swap. Really want to know can this faster than the GTR.
If only this was for sale .
Love the power to weight....But scary in that car. Little unpredictable ;)
Gorgeous machine. I just picked up an aw11 with some options. How can I find out if it has the trd trans?
This car has a e153. They come with the turbo sw20s. So if your aw11 is 4age then more then likely no
