Should get name brand twins before switching to a big turbo. The twin setup makes plenty of power and sets this car apart from the rest. Why switch when your fighting other problems right now.
@Connor Hoskins it also pulls a lot of power out of the car. If you can get it down the track without having to cut the power down so much you're better off
@@Drunk3nMas7er yes there are some differences. But a lot of the setup, like suspension stuff for example is pretty much the same (squatting, compression/rebound etc). It's just years of experience and knowledge about how stuff works and how stuff should work. I'm not saying Kevin will get them their number 1 spot, but I think he would get them there faster.
@Madhatter187 All of which when the car has a solid axel is dictated by adjustable 4 link's or ladder bars. The torsional force of the motor runs end to end of the car with a front mounted engine. With an MR2 the torsion is on the same rotation as the axles, plus it's IRS.

His reason for not using them makes sense now. Wheelie bars could be an option but probably not enough time for that now. The cars gonna change anyway.
Fix the bell housing and get it back out there. You have no idea how close you could be. You haven't been able to really test your current suspension and weight distribution. Do the bell housing and give fair shot.
Hey you gotta love livin in Florida being able to race all winter.... in retrospect this could have happened in 6 months and now you have the chance to come back better than ever.... keep on pushin
more like James drives a 1500hp low 7 second car that is hard to manage, and Kyle needs training wheels to make a decent pass do to lack of skill. I've been involved with street and track drag racing on two and four wheels since the late 80s. I know what I'm talking about, and made some of the same mistakes Kyle is making.
My only suggestion would be a complete engine plate that fits between the intire circumference of the bell housing and engine less stress on the other mounts and then a proper midplate
Two thoughts I've had about keeping the front end down at launch are as follows: 1) If you strictly are adding dead weight to the front, make it so it's a lead slug or ball inside a tube, running as far back the length of the car as you want the weight to end up once you have traveled a particular speed or distance down the track. Maximum weight starts on the nose, but moves backward by g-force as you accelerate, to where you want it, weighing the nose down at the beginning, but sliding backward and being slowed/stopped with some adjustability, generating a force which pulls the nose down at a tunable time, according to where during launch it stops moving rearward, kind of like an automatic, momentary tap of the brakes. Angling the tube from as low as possible in the front, up as high as works best once dialed. Any angular adjustability should add some tunablility and make returning the weight to the front easier. Use springs or shock cord or something to stop and reverse the force and direction of the weight, in a controlled way, moving it back toward the front. Make a ramrod to force the weight the rest of the way forward, from the rear, to ensure it is as far forward as possible at next launch. 2) If you want to maximize the weight you need to add to the front, duct powerful, high CFM/low-weight fan/s in the front compartment, so that it sucks large amounts of air from beneath the car, up through the hood/decklid. Straight at the bottom for maximum suction and slightly raked backward at the hood exit for reduced drag and propulsion. Shut it off after launch and reduce drag by using electric rams to close the metal doors you cut out of the hood for ducting.
i reckon that happened when you landed that massive wheelie, would have torque cracked comeing back down and the impact would have shocked threw the whole chassis, im supprised myself what we have seen is all that broke, thank the lord your all ok and doing well. glad to see it hasnt changed your mind about going down the strip. love it boys keep up kyle, it could have been soo much worse. :)

Thanks for the chat wyatt it was nice meeting and talking with you. (Guy in Rasta beanie at redlight) florida man doing Florida shit rip those jet skis
Hi Kyle, you need to make the engine and gearbox part of the roll cage to make a stronger chassis structure. It's like starting from scratch with the chassis but it might be the right way to fix the problem. I hope the MR2 continues on the tracks breaking records
That brace you have attached to the bell housing looks like its solidly mounted to the body.. as the engine moves about that will take a massive stress.... possibly put the brace on rubber mounts?
Should’ve brought the HATCH for back up since the Mr2 broke I miss that baby who else wants to see the hatch back on the channel running an S1 tuned AWD set up vs the MR2

I like the idea that the laser is more of a secondary safety 👍🏼 you’re the driver, keep dialing and you won’t need all the Extra bells and whistles 🤘🏼🤙🏼
I was a proponent of the height sensor but also can agree that the setup process would be a trial. Boost by gear or boost by speed would likely be the next logical steps to get the car rolling out on four wheels. Cleetus ran boost by gear for a while until kevin from KSR got him into the boost by speed with wheel speed sensors. it becomes dramatically more fine tunable for 60ft. and 330s.
jeez when you break things you break em lol that's usually my luck :P and come on guys where's that 1m subs in 2021!!! been watching since vtech vicky love you and the pfi guys!
For the wheelies... would ya be able to use ballast weights sorta like on sled pulling tractors? I saw your weight bar up front idea back a minute ago. Those tractor ballasts get heavy fast. So trimming and welding or bolt mounting could replace the sand bags with less density. If the blocks are safe....
You two got it right, laser height sensor definitely should be treated as a safety, both for the car and the drivers health. Will be interesting to see how the car evolves!
Are these turbos really tapped out though? Before you switch to something else, weld the gates shut and let these actually sing. I suspect you have more power than you think still in it.
Keep it up Kyle and the boostedboiz crew including pfi of course, but Kyle you doing what you and your friends have been doing for your channel and both of yas career following your dream, passion and putting your own blood, tears, and sweat, and your friends as well, and obviously finances in to your cars you always staying positive and motivated by your subs, fans at racing events, and during your travels to other states, watching your channel the last 3 or 4 years now have been motivating me to build up another ef hatch but go awd k24 turbo. Just got to pay dmv 6 bills and then the debating begins. Ive done the built all motor b20vtec, time to test the k, sorry long reply
Can you please put some high durometer bushings in place? It is a ton of shock launching the car in the low 1's to the 60 and then doing consistent wheelies. Something has to give and that will continue with solid mounts.
The mr2 is definitely getting more stress with the mid engine mount but fixing it up and dialing it in is where you will find it to bust that mr2 world record lol 💯👍👍👍
Well that honestly would be an expected break area. The midplate is only bolted to the lower portion of the belhousing. The midplate added rigidity to the engine. the only other place for any twisting energy to go is from the midplate through the trans. Next would be a solid cradle type mount to lock down the trans. After that is gears and axles... 🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️
At least its only a bell housing, and definitely would have happened on the last wheelie as all 4 wheels got off the deck, freeloading the gearbox then shock loading.... keep on keeping on brother👍👍
We run midplates on our dirt cars and when running one you can’t run a trans mount (some run rubber trans mounts). Our transmissions just hang off the bell housing and do just fine. If we run a solid motor and trans mount with a midplate it’ll break the bell housing every time. Maybe this is something along those lines??
Maybe you should put a floor guard(if that's how they call it) to protect everything under the chassis. Or could this be from the engine movement cause the bell housing sits solid?
Wouldn't change anything that car is so unique your so close to the record bro don't change unless you have to. At least if you do leave it running till you get the parts. Love your content brother
I actually had a similar issue with an M22 Rock Crusher I had the bellhousing welded by a professional welder and proceeded to use the transmission for racing and it is still in working order today after 20 years
@@Rx_Lee that midplate could be pushing the assembly to a spot it doesn't want to go. But unlikely. these cases are weak from my experience. I have a bare/empty K20a case sitting in my shed, the metal is not very strong. A sledgehammer can do similar damage.
If I had to guess I’d say the suspension being upgraded transmitted the shock load of the gear change to the bell housing. The old suspension rubbers would have absorbed some of the shock.
Re headlight stuck,,, Kyle deserved for that one to turn out good. It's finally his turn to have SOMETHING GO RIGHT :) 9:38 with an EZ leave it still picked 'em up and tickled the asphalt. Alternator belt busted,, bummer. Kyle, you just need to remember who you are - BOOSTEDBOYZ - follow your intuition, don't worry about the other MR2's taking your spot and rework your hotrod to the car you want - FULL SEND! That record will be YOURS!!!
Hey, you should probably put a wheely bar on it. Hey you should probably put a wheely bar on it. Hey, you should probably put a wheely bar on it. Wrecks car.
"Pull" a wheelie bar? It would be a lot better if he "put" one on it. You take the time to write it three times and can't be bothered with reading it once? And you probably think Kyle does stuff half-assed.
*Twisting the bell housing IN HALF, is pretty impressive!* lol *Maybe add some type of motor mount rubber or urethane bushings on it, so its not hard mounted to that bell housing beem mount. that way the bushings can take some of the stress??*
Whatever happened to the laser system that would cut power if got too high? Seems like a brilliant idea and would save ton of time and money. Edit: he explains later
Every single component of that mr2 is getting tested way beyond it's limits. So she's held up amazingly! Bad luck about the bell-housing. And just now when the suspension, wheels and weight were setup right. I agree, quick repair and do some passes!
you mean the mr2 is slow..its the second fastes on the world at the moment..of coures it will break stuff, they are pushing that car way past all its intened limits.. im more shocked that more isnt broken on it
@@microangle I'm not saying it's slow, I just mean they are constantly fighting wheelies and broken parts. Civics at this point are a much more understood chassis, so hopefully he can get the hatch to go just as fast (or faster) with less broken stuff and hard-to-solve issues👍
Just a tip. Because I don't isht on people and what they like. But something I figured out a long time ago in 1999 when I was 20 and was done with tech school and building cars. Found this out the hard way and a few really nice cars that were ruined completely. Including my beautiful 2nd gen Rx7 with a Ford Windsor stroker, mini tubs and 10.5 tires me and my buddy Corey built. Japanese unibody cars designed for a little 160hp motor don't last long as drag cars without an extensive amount of work to the frame and Body. And still then it isn't ideal. Making big power you'll eventually break it beyond repair and the next step is you'll either abandon the car or cut the body apart and start laying down a tube skeleton for it. Current examples being your Mr2 and James 240. They all end up like that. If a wheelie doesn't kill them the twisting from launching it will eventually send em to the grave.
Poor Kyle you can tell he is pretty pissed off, but who wouldn't be at that point. I cant wait to see what this car can do with the new set up! keep your head up
Will you look into a stiffer poly or go solid on the motor mounts? I would believe that the motor has too much movement and all the force is going to the bell housing.
Keep it running. Change the bell housing, make the improvements later when you have the parts ready, incrementally. I'd like to see it stay twin turbo it's the identity of the car. Roof scoop intake.
Are the motor and trans mounts solid? Because if not the mid plate is doing all their jobs and taking 100% of the shock. I would put bushings where it mounts to the chassis.
There’s a lot of stress on launches, it might be worth doing Poly bushings or mounting points so it’s not solid mounted. Lots of extreme load and vibration going through that plate on launches.
Replace the bell housing, add weight to the front, and turn up the boost. Get that world record. Posting world record MR2 will push the channel over the 1 million subscribers mark you have been working toward for so long.
my guess would be the body flexing and since the plate is/was flat it can flex due to not having reinforcement to prevent its plasticity. yes you have bars to the strut towers but that at the top. could add a custom poured rubber mount to either frt or rear. depends on how loud you want the vibration . idk ask shawn at pfi to help troubleshoot.
kyle - build a mr2 shell on the side - properly get it painted tubed front end and swap all the guts from the white mr2 to the new shell - cage, reinforced chassis get a company to make a skid plate would decrease drag
Just remember that adding rake also will increase squat because your changing your rear suspension geometry. You’re changing more than just shifting the center of gravity forward.
Hey, if I were yall, I'd rather be known as the guy that is constantly sending it, rather than be that guy that never really sends it at all. You are in a unique position where you are able to accelerate the process of testing setups to their max potential faster than most people, don't feel bad if your rate of breaking parts is higher than the average guy, because it should be, or else you're not doing it right. You guys are already doing the right thing and looking ahead at bigger changes rather than small, that is also a step in the right direction. Aim high, unless you're physically driving the MR2, then that would be an exception
At what point do you get power managment and just tune it? As much boost as she takes while launching. Clutch slip device. Multiple companies make them. With a noid so it shuts up whenever you want. Thatll solve it leaving and hooking. Then a boost ramp in the software. Boost by speed. Or linear curve and a scramble button.. May not know everything but i do that for a living. Never done wheelies but power managed cars that had launching issues
I still think the wheelie bar is the only way to keep this rocket on the ground on a budget and tight schedule. RIP bell housing, gone but not forgotten :(
That was from the wheelie 100%. Frame twisted and bell housing broke on impact. I had a bad broke bell housing in my jeep and it worked fine for a long time
That alt belt was a blessing in disguise. Another pass could have been really bad. Just another day at the track. Awesome times.
It’s getting fueltech, a big precision, the drag cartel bell housing, and that mechanical fuel setup , 8:2x here you come!
and a front engine swap
Garrett turbos are better but sure

Spot on. Trying to fix the wheelies with a height sensor is like "fixing" crappy handling with ESP.
It's a good idea to use it as a backup.

Maybe almost time to switch Everything over to the red mr2 and make wheelie bars no more messing around can't hurt that one too..lol
Wheelie bars on a small tire car is retarded. Too many more options. Limiters, better calves shocks, weight distribution, power management
Kyle has a height sensor for the nose of the car that helps prevent wheelies.
Wheelie bar changes the class you race in. He be running with cars in the 6s then. Plus as the first reply said, stupid on a small tire car.

Keep it up Kyle and the boostedboiz crew including pfi of course, but Kyle you doing what you and your friends have been doing for your channel and both of yas career following your dream, passion and putting your own blood, tears, and sweat, and your friends as well, and obviously finances in to your cars you always staying positive and motivated by your subs, fans at racing events, and during your travels to other states, watching your channel the last 3 or 4 years now have been motivating me to build up another ef hatch but go awd k24 turbo. Just got to pay dmv 6 bills and then the debating begins. Ive done the built all motor b20vtec, time to test the k, sorry long reply

Can you please put some high durometer bushings in place? It is a ton of shock launching the car in the low 1's to the 60 and then doing consistent wheelies. Something has to give and that will continue with solid mounts.
Faster Proms has a plasma table now, get some more bracing done
The mr2 is definitely getting more stress with the mid engine mount but fixing it up and dialing it in is where you will find it to bust that mr2 world record lol 💯👍👍👍
When people say that 90's junk i think of how thin the metal can be and wether it can take the abuse of 1100hp time and again..
I don't know many cars that fair well when dropped from 7 or so feet.
watch the prelude on the dyno it looks like the front end is about to rip off at the doors.
@@joearmijo1157 yup eventually you have to go tube chassis or get another shell
@@mikevida250 isn’t there a red MR2 in the fleet? If the white one has metal fatigue, start reinforcing the other and make the changes anyway.
@@0411clb yeah that wont happen untill the white one gets wrecked, so much work is in it already
Well that honestly would be an expected break area. The midplate is only bolted to the lower portion of the belhousing. The midplate added rigidity to the engine. the only other place for any twisting energy to go is from the midplate through the trans. Next would be a solid cradle type mount to lock down the trans. After that is gears and axles... 🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️
Kyle: *Sends MR2 to the moon*
MR2: *Breaks*
Kyle: *surprised pikachu*
At least its only a bell housing, and definitely would have happened on the last wheelie as all 4 wheels got off the deck, freeloading the gearbox then shock loading.... keep on keeping on brother👍👍
I really love the intro and outro music, makes me nostalgic to your early content
My baby girl is starting to dance to music and whenever I watch one of Kyles videos she starts dancing immediately.😊
@@DustySteel thats amazing. My son loves the song aswell
Yeah, my 10 month old son too loves the outro ☺️
anybody know the name of the song?

We run midplates on our dirt cars and when running one you can’t run a trans mount (some run rubber trans mounts). Our transmissions just hang off the bell housing and do just fine. If we run a solid motor and trans mount with a midplate it’ll break the bell housing every time. Maybe this is something along those lines??
Put some led strips around the cage like Cooper did 🤘🏼
Yeah. Coops look super good. Definitely adds a touch to the videos.
Big power=BIG problems...keep your head up Kyle you got this!
Maybe you should put a floor guard(if that's how they call it) to protect everything under the chassis. Or could this be from the engine movement cause the bell housing sits solid?
i thought the same, engine mounts are not made of rubber for nothing ...
Wouldn't change anything that car is so unique your so close to the record bro don't change unless you have to. At least if you do leave it running till you get the parts. Love your content brother
It´s time for wheelie bars :)
once you put a wheelie bar on the car you stop racing in the class it does atm & you have to race against people running 6's
@@von... ahaaa ok, I did not know .... thanks for the explanation
@@SvartaGolfen np my dude. I see this comment often & like to chime in since I once made the same comment & someone explained it to me
@@von... You learn something new all the time, and it is thanks to people like you who can explain it. now I can explain to the next person ;)
I actually had a similar issue with an M22 Rock Crusher I had the bellhousing welded by a professional welder and proceeded to use the transmission for racing and it is still in working order today after 20 years
Luckily its just a bell housing, and not the actual case.
That just means it can happen again.
@@pepperfish_ Could be just a stress fracture or defect that over time got worse and worse.
Looks like a stress fracture from something having pressure on it.
@@Rx_Lee that midplate could be pushing the assembly to a spot it doesn't want to go. But unlikely. these cases are weak from my experience. I have a bare/empty K20a case sitting in my shed, the metal is not very strong. A sledgehammer can do similar damage.
If I had to guess I’d say the suspension being upgraded transmitted the shock load of the gear change to the bell housing.
The old suspension rubbers would have absorbed some of the shock.
If that mid plate is solid mounted, it's always going to stress and break.
Re headlight stuck,,, Kyle deserved for that one to turn out good. It's finally his turn to have SOMETHING GO RIGHT :) 9:38 with an EZ leave it still picked 'em up and tickled the asphalt. Alternator belt busted,, bummer. Kyle, you just need to remember who you are - BOOSTEDBOYZ - follow your intuition, don't worry about the other MR2's taking your spot and rework your hotrod to the car you want - FULL SEND! That record will be YOURS!!!
Hey, you should probably put a wheely bar on it.

Wrecks car.
"Pull" a wheelie bar? It would be a lot better if he "put" one on it. You take the time to write it three times and can't be bothered with reading it once? And you probably think Kyle does stuff half-assed.
*Twisting the bell housing IN HALF, is pretty impressive!* lol
*Maybe add some type of motor mount rubber or urethane bushings on it, so its not hard mounted to that bell housing beem mount. that way the bushings can take some of the stress??*
Whatever happened to the laser system that would cut power if got too high? Seems like a brilliant idea and would save ton of time and money.
Edit: he explains later
WATCH THE FUCKING VIDEO. THE WHOLE VIDEO
Every single component of that mr2 is getting tested way beyond it's limits. So she's held up amazingly! Bad luck about the bell-housing. And just now when the suspension, wheels and weight were setup right. I agree, quick repair and do some passes!
Damn kyle, I hope the hatch ends up as a better drag car than the MR2 has been!
you mean the mr2 is slow..its the second fastes on the world at the moment..of coures it will break stuff, they are pushing that car way past all its intened limits.. im more shocked that more isnt broken on it
@@microangle I'm not saying it's slow, I just mean they are constantly fighting wheelies and broken parts. Civics at this point are a much more understood chassis, so hopefully he can get the hatch to go just as fast (or faster) with less broken stuff and hard-to-solve issues👍
Just a tip. Because I don't isht on people and what they like. But something I figured out a long time ago in 1999 when I was 20 and was done with tech school and building cars. Found this out the hard way and a few really nice cars that were ruined completely. Including my beautiful 2nd gen Rx7 with a Ford Windsor stroker, mini tubs and 10.5 tires me and my buddy Corey built. Japanese unibody cars designed for a little 160hp motor don't last long as drag cars without an extensive amount of work to the frame and Body. And still then it isn't ideal. Making big power you'll eventually break it beyond repair and the next step is you'll either abandon the car or cut the body apart and start laying down a tube skeleton for it. Current examples being your Mr2 and James 240. They all end up like that. If a wheelie doesn't kill them the twisting from launching it will eventually send em to the grave.
Dangg Kyle you just dont like wheelie bars?? The homies was runnin em on FWD back in the days, why not use that for now at least,
It would put him in different classes that he is not wanting to race in.
@@t1bud42 Not just different classes, but classes where there are much, much faster cars, and he'd have to put a higher spec cage in it.
It can be an experiment doesnt have to be permanent and I dont see what competitions yall are referring to anyways
Poor Kyle you can tell he is pretty pissed off, but who wouldn't be at that point. I cant wait to see what this car can do with the new set up! keep your head up
Why doesn’t he just get a wheelie bar instead of adding all that weight?
It would put him in a class he can't compete with as the car is fast but not fast enough to compete with a wheelie bar.
@@petercorrea7645 ah I see thanks
Will you look into a stiffer poly or go solid on the motor mounts? I would believe that the motor has too much movement and all the force is going to the bell housing.
the laser requires a lot of tuning and testing or keep going like that and keep breaking it.
Race cars always find a weak spot, fix and find another one. Good luck 🍀👍 you guys, love the channel.
I have never made it this early
Keep it running. Change the bell housing, make the improvements later when you have the parts ready, incrementally. I'd like to see it stay twin turbo it's the identity of the car. Roof scoop intake.
Are the motor and trans mounts solid? Because if not the mid plate is doing all their jobs and taking 100% of the shock. I would put bushings where it mounts to the chassis.
Truly am glad to see you putting on quality safety gear. Keep up the good work boiz
There’s a lot of stress on launches, it might be worth doing Poly bushings or mounting points so it’s not solid mounted. Lots of extreme load and vibration going through that plate on launches.
Replace the bell housing, add weight to the front, and turn up the boost. Get that world record. Posting world record MR2 will push the channel over the 1 million subscribers mark you have been working toward for so long.
my guess would be the body flexing and since the plate is/was flat it can flex due to not having reinforcement to prevent its plasticity. yes you have bars to the strut towers but that at the top. could add a custom poured rubber mount to either frt or rear. depends on how loud you want the vibration . idk ask shawn at pfi to help troubleshoot.
kyle - build a mr2 shell on the side - properly get it painted tubed front end and swap all the guts from the white mr2 to the new shell - cage, reinforced chassis get a company to make a skid plate would decrease drag
Don’t worry about us missing the mr2 in action. I would love to see you beef up all the weak points and then run the SpaceX tune. 🚀🛸
Just remember that adding rake also will increase squat because your changing your rear suspension geometry. You’re changing more than just shifting the center of gravity forward.
Hey, if I were yall, I'd rather be known as the guy that is constantly sending it, rather than be that guy that never really sends it at all. You are in a unique position where you are able to accelerate the process of testing setups to their max potential faster than most people, don't feel bad if your rate of breaking parts is higher than the average guy, because it should be, or else you're not doing it right. You guys are already doing the right thing and looking ahead at bigger changes rather than small, that is also a step in the right direction. Aim high, unless you're physically driving the MR2, then that would be an exception
At what point do you get power managment and just tune it? As much boost as she takes while launching. Clutch slip device. Multiple companies make them. With a noid so it shuts up whenever you want. Thatll solve it leaving and hooking. Then a boost ramp in the software. Boost by speed. Or linear curve and a scramble button..
May not know everything but i do that for a living. Never done wheelies but power managed cars that had launching issues
I still think the wheelie bar is the only way to keep this rocket on the ground on a budget and tight schedule. RIP bell housing, gone but not forgotten :(
he would have to race in a way faster class with a wheelie bar
That was from the wheelie 100%. Frame twisted and bell housing broke on impact. I had a bad broke bell housing in my jeep and it worked fine for a long time
