Drive and enjoy it.
Definitely neons under the body that time to the subwoofers bruh! Lol
First mod would be modern electronics.
The side feed intake thst was a common upgrade, was the OEM ST162 Celica intake.
But as old mate said. Beyond ~170-180kW at the tyres. Everything falls over. Injectors, fuel pump, intercooler, turbo.
Just bring it up to what Toyota engineers would maybe have liked to have with more modern tech.
Always love your content @Fullboost👌🏽. Can anyone help me find magnet 🧲 car mount for recording devices Fullboost mate advertised recently??? I can’t find old vid or their name or link etc??? I really need a few
Much respect to the previous owner, this is incredibly clean and well looked after example! I wouldn't give it a sex change, if it belonged to me!
This is why I love modern times, beautiful 90's JDM with morden technology perfect 😄
Take the 3s out and preserve it and put a 2GR setup in with a harrop supercharger make all the power and stay within the Toyota badge to make it easier. I know a company in Brisbane that does them
Nice to hear a complement like that from an expert when you have just bought a car you know nothing about 👍
If I had this car and was going to do an engine swap, I would go for the 3.5 litre V6 from the Camry with some 6 speed manual transmission. Naturally aspirated, would probably put down 200-220rwkw, and an engine note to die for. Perfect.
So how is an engine that makes 200 engine kw going to suddenly make 220rwkw.
@@myusernames1967 it makes 224kw in the current model Camry. With a custom exhaust (which you would have to make anyway) and a tune and manual gearbox, it should get up to 220kw at the wheels easily.
Keep it Toyota! I have an E85 conversion running on a Link G4+ with 850cc injectors, top feed rail, SMIC, Berk exhaust, Walbro E85 compatible fuel pump and a CT27 turbo
I'm always tempted to go bigger than ct27.
Gt3071 or Gt35
Mine is running a billet ct20b, e85, Link G4+ and just made 328whp on a Mustang Dyno 👌
Haltech + Garrett + new Clutch. With 250rwkw it would be a rocket. leave everything else as is
Unfortunately even that won't break 250kw. The whole system is at its limits and is a big restriction. Ive gone through a few stages myself with my mr2. Went haltech Gtx3071 ID 1000 injectors/pump. And just broke 200kw. Intercooler and intake manifold/TB need upgrading too.
@@25LQW that would have been disappointing for you , where you expecting more ?
@@lloydchristmas2326 I had on a gt 28rs and different ecu. Was about 200kw. Then did that "upgrade" and made 220kw. Now I have a built motor with the intake mods and make 350+kw.
@@25LQW nice , in a small body mr2 that would fly with 350rwkw
@@lloydchristmas2326 to be honest. It's to much for a street mr2. 350whp is the sweet spot. Now I'm chasing that refinement on setup. Suspension/tyres/brakes/driveline to make use of that power. The mr2 likes to try and spin itself accelerating And braking with to much power.
Great Job, Fullboost!!! 😀
Gerardo has been around long enough to see a lot of misguided people mod their cars and eventually, and inevitably, end up with less power and reliability.
I also love his sense of diplomacy as you could just tell his total disdain for many of the mods/changes suggested were laughed off very politely.
He is someone worth listening to.
Well done mate on finding such a mint car. I would forget about a K swop. If I had to do a conversion,I would put a gen 4 3sgte motor in. In stock form they do 191kw. Here in South africa mine did 235kw and 440nm torque. On pump fuel and stock intercooler. Just aftermarket ecu.
My dream's always been to own one of these, bump up the power to ~320 and make it my daily/weekend track shark.
My mate Vance brought one for his first car in 1998 he love it those were good times
The 3s is awesome little motor . I’m looking forward to seeing what you do ✌🏻
Very clean car, looking forward to seeing what you do with it.
You may find a lot of bits cross over from GT4. I did a lot of conversions with 3S cars like ST185 celica and Camry and Mr2. Even clutch plates etc swapped from engine to engine.
I would never put a K-swap in this. It would devalue it.
Toyota took the 3SGTE to the WRC and even swapped the 2J out the Supra for it, in the JGTC days. What is now the GT500 class. You can get the BEAMS vvti versions too.
the 3sgte in the supra was for different reasons.
Yep the only engine that replaced the 2jz in the supra for race class reasons.
@@Mr_jz_12 different to what?
@@Shifty_Malone Was for class reasons not cos it was a good engine. Not saying its bad, but youd be daft to think 3sgte was better than 2j.
Reminds me of Ketzal’s MR2 FLYIN.
😄 wow flashback
I do love the K-swap in these but this is so nice as is with the engine as good as it is I don't think I'd do it either,maybe if you had a real ruff one with a blown up engine yes.
Beautiful👌
Super clean tbh you should throw an ecu in it and leave it how it is.
Thanks for sharing
Things Nuts 👍🍻 send it !!!!! Al Gore Rhythms and stuff and things
Keep it as it is so clean
Use to look after one for a friend here in the UK. Good strong engines that can be tweeked to 380hp and they drive like stock. One must is a stand alone manigment system bigger turbo with a tubeular exhaust bigger injectors and fuel pump i used a big chargecooler .... go very well at that power if not a little flighty on full boost ...
Having just gone through a lot of this on my 91 mr2. Depending on the power you want to make, its just a few mods and you have around 300hp to the wheels in a car that weighs as much as a shoe box. ECU, supra 550 injectors(can also swap out for a top feed rail and high impedance injectors if you wanted to delete the resistor pack), walbro 255 pump and a CT27 from ATS racing would be right at the 300 mark. Plenty of other options for turbos of course; I went with a GT3071. Stock exhaust manifold can hold upwards of 700hp. When you pull it off for the turbo swap have it checked for flatness when you put it back on, they have a common problem of having an exhaust leak. Dizzy is fine and can make plenty of power on it if its in good working condition. Some people say to go coil on plug because dizzy has a timing drift problems at higher RPM.. not sure if thats entirely true, but my dizzy was completely toast and after trying to make two others work I just did the conversion. ECU to get rid of all the old bits like the AFM plus if you are going for more than 250 on the 91 you outgrow the factory one anyway and fairly quickly. Assuming it has a functional TVIS still, keep it in place and just have your tuner adjust the opening point of it(OEM is ~4200rpm), its good for low end torque with no loss of power top end.
At the end of the day, you can have a fully built Bottom end with a bulletproof head and make 500 to the wheels. You can be more conservative and do a few simple mods and be around 300 and still have an extremely awesome MR2.
What a dime piece 👌 on the dizzy subject, just look at some of the fast VLs still running a distributor
Cmon, Just ask uncle Tony about electronic spark.
man this things clean lol. Fully agree with just updating it to current tech and a modern, larger turbo.
Very nice , use to do a lot with these. A nice turbo and more modern injectors and a nice chargecooler setup and a stand alone management you should see a nice 320-340hp. Pop a set of rods and pistons some head work and cams and 500 easy thou 340 would be a nice deal without breaking the bank ...
Very nice car mate congrats 🙂
My start point, especially for you guys with all your contacts would be an ECU, because that opens up pretty much any possible upgrades. I base it on another Mr Dos build on the channel Sarah -n- Tuned where she converts it to a link ECU and it makes a lot of sense. Her car is absolutely mint too.
Yes it definitely needs an ECU to do anything.
Don't give up on thec3sgte , I'm running a gen3 version in a group a gt4 . Currently it's putting out 335awkw ( all wheel drive ) with a gtx3076r , e85 and a haltech running it , and still off the distributor for crank and cam signals . Put the time , and the effort into a 3s and she will absolutely boogie . More than happy to talk further about what's done to mine to get up there , if you want to message me ! Your mate at gforce is very switched on too . I'd be keen to say hi to him to see what he could suggest with the next step for mine
he is right about everything being on the limit. mods would be basically everything. say if you just change the turbo, g25/external wastegate/piping to suit/manifold to suit/custom make it fit to exhaust/make fit intake pipes/ECU/wiring/all the sensors/flex-fuel/IC7/injectors/fuel rail/FPR/fuel pump/fuel lines(speedflow etc). then if you do that you will have to go aftermarket inlet manifold/TB and intercooler. COP conversion is easy and pretty cheap, use the dizzy for crank signal. that is just engine related stuff and I'm sure I've missed something.
Man please keep this car aslong as you can!!!!! #JDMICON
Love MR2s. I have a AW11 which I'm considering modifying. AW11s are 2200lbs and SW20s are 2900lbs. Just not sure if I'll K swap or stick with the 4AGE.
I dnt know a mr2, but I love information
"Midship Runabout 2-seater" I wondered what MR2 was short for.
This is pretty clean, but the tail lights have been slightly molested. The frame of the red plastic, around the twin lenses and the reflector, I think were tinted black from factory. you can see there's still some left. At this point it's obviously personal preference, but I think it looked good with the black.
Mate, that foreshadowing at the end was scary... rod out the block!?
Surprised Gerardo didn't talk about the 5SGTE as a future option, unless it was off camera? He should be close to finishing my 5SGTE build!
I’ve got a ST165 so I’ll be watching carefully what you guys are going to do if you keep the 3S
Should hit up Paul from BD4s, see what old HKS stuff is still kicking around
Yea this is the condition i look for when buying immaculate xtra low ks and unrestored
The only motor swap worth considering is the Toyota v6, 3.5 2GR-fe there's a kit to do it, and many u-tube testimonials and test drives
Best mod for this car is upgrade the ECU brother inlaw and I have own over 20 Mrs over the years. I even had 600hp 3sgte motor. Have friends with even higher HP. Yours is a Gen 2. Have built many motors, Ditch the turbo and fit a Garret Gen II or III 2860. Select right AR size base on power cure you want. Just built a 450hp motor and it a torque moster with 400nm. This make a great track/Sunday drive car.
I didn't hear 5S crank being mentioned in that whole diatribe of upgrade paths Luke. 🤷 That plus some Spool rods and pistons, Fueltech FT450, set of 1000cc's and keep the boost moderate for a beautiful daily experience. 👌
Problem with Fueltechs is you want the display. If you need it fine, but most never FI muscle cars need that, the rest of us in the tuner space usually don't. Haltech or even MoTec if you want to get spendy would my choice. I agree with above, turbo upgrade, fuel system upgrade, drop the MAF, go closed loop with a wide band, job done.
You can buy a Lite version without a screen.
Ive been 600hp@32psi for 8 years on my MR2 LSD E153 in my mazda familia :D. MR2 turbo box is same gearbox / wide gearsets as Camry but camry never came LSD.
Just build the stock motor to 500hp easy as hell.
3s is a good engine
The basis for Formula Nippon in Japan for years and Toyota Atlantic in the States.
Was it a recent import after the rule change?, ages ago could only find GT SW20 for sale in Aus.
Depends on power goals, 5sgte will handle big power... 2nd quickest in the world based here in the uk is still toyota powered!
Where is the gsr? Anymore vidoes for that beast?
have you guys ever seen the old NZ production high octane? the main guy went a bit overboard with his mr2
Yeah l think we still have the DVDs in a box here somewhere 👍
@@fullboost i didn't answer the question you guys wanted so I wanna see the car get modified to about 350hp. I wanna see a nice street car that goes great on a little track day, the car is so neat I don't wanna see over done.
Ketzel Sterling's MR2 'FLYEN'
I miss those movies
5S-GTE = WIN .....
Kswap haha.
Clean mr2 tho.
Beams Redtop with basic mods supporting it = epic canyon carver.
3cyl 1ltr fiesta engine with the 1.6 4cyl gearbox :)
If you do some mods on the 3S can you do bang for buck. Cost per hp gains
Yer rekon make sum toyota power, its there n reliable motor ive heard. Lota caldinas go hard n nz" polished up
@fullboost Who makes that turbo at 10:37?? Gtx3067r in CT housing
It's from GCG
Was there a 1 metre swab down it's intake as part of that health check? It is Melbourne after all! 😉
Car was polished with hand sanitiser 😅
@@fullboost E85 has a higher ethanol content than most hand sanitisers ;)
WTF Auto in WA have done some wild stuff with mr2
These motors have so much potential....a K swap simply isn't worth the effort and money unless you're really wanting to go down that path.
gerardo!
There was an sw20 in Perth from WTF auto running very good 1/4 mile times and respectable Hp too without the K swap
Get a series 3 mrs and do a K swap to that it’s not been done yet and would be more interesting
So we should sell this car and start again?
It's been done many times btw 👍
@@fullboost no it’s going to be Awsum
(Did I come across all hater)
Like your projects and passion
Just because I think something different isn’t hate just encouraging you and others to do as you please (which you guys always do)
Especially like that your brutally honest about the dreamers (thats me I can only dream of doing the things you do so I vicariously live through you and the other UA-cam is post)
Anyway take care
Keep doing your Thung and I’ll keep watching as your interest post keep me interested
"Teoda"
How much did it coooooooost???
Wow gee thanks I just got into a massive MR2 internet hole...
If talking engine conversions.. altho the KA is readily available, and has been done before (so easier?)
How about the likes of other toyota engines?
G16E, yaris ... I'm sure this atm would be a super rare motor for a swap no?
2ZZ-GE, supercharged.. same as an Exige ... not sure how similar the exige motor is to a corolla/celica motor, and then harrop do super charger upgrades for the exige/elise
2GR-FE with a supercharger is the way to go
Keep as is. There is nothing wrong with the engine. Just make a few tweaks that's it.
It is too mint to molest I would just upgrade what it has
2gr swap before k series.
k swap, what about a 2k swap?
Why either? I agree with calling it a sex change to put different manufactures hardware in car they didn't build. It's not Toyota's fault that Honda never really made a mid engine car for less healed enthusiast beyond the NSX and the Beat. Keep Hondas in Hondas, keep LS motors in GM vehicles it's run it's course it's not unique anymore. You have no nothing and nobody's saying they should swap engines straight away because Modular Ford engines are junk (not) and older Toyota twin cams are junk (they aren't). You can make good power here as the car is lightweight and because of the weight transfer good traction.
@@dj4monie boostedbois
Go the old camary 3sfe engine.
If need any question how to go about Modding your car. Contact me I can even tell how the toyota ECU engine mangerment works. Example how it saps power from the motor is boosted if over 12psi. On Gen 2 you should get fuel cut anyway. This depends on Built Date a well. And duel runner issue. Well a Gen 3 does not have one. Why! I can explain. It was improved.
Leave it. I don’t care if it means less content, I’d sit on it and let the value go up.
We didn't buy it to make money on 👍
@@fullboost still, nice to own a nice car and not feel like the ass is falling out of your pants.
should have plenty of power stock for a daily & track days, never understood the 1000hp street car shit unless you are making a dedicated drag racing vehicle
turn the boost down for more power.. done
#snowballs lol
The 3s is a great motor for its time, but the block cracking from cylinder 2 to 3 is well now a that's the reason y many go 5s block but still comparing a k to 3s is like saying the 7mgt is better than a 2jz come on grow up guys
Are those supra's 😂
You expect a Toyota specialist to have Chevy Corvettes???
Keep it original to many swaped cars out there these days..
either work the infamous 3s or 2gr swap it. K swap is mostly popular in the US where parts and engine availability are aplenty
Bit of 3s history, very under-rated motor:
ua-cam.com/video/hF_6iaYSe4g/v-deo.html
Nah
5sgte
Watch out for ring land failure when upping the power.
Beams motor swap if I owed this Icon!
Feast of trumpets 2028 END
Hoon extinction day
Too much trash talking about the k swap, best thing to happen to the mr2 platform
2GR-FE SWAP IT Its 100 percent better.
How many unmolested are left? If you've got a good one, as you have, DON'T MOLEST IT! If you want a fast toyota, get a supra...
Supras are not in the same price point as an MR2.
