Toyota MR2 MK1.5 vs. Corvette Z06

[Eclipse03Babam]

were is the track at?

[srsairbags]

the vette let you goo . . . i test drove an Mr2 . . it was really cramped in there . . but is a nice little car

[RANCIDROBO]

very nice car buddy. what transmission did you use when you did your 3s swap. was it a ZE before?

[KeepingModern]

1:57 you see a classic mid-engined layout sudden rear-end step out behavior.

[Sparkyrcp]

ahahah love it at 2min

[xthexemoxmuffinx]

:o I am putting that motor in my mr2 at the end of august hopefully! wish me luck on my build! hey, if you have any advice to give me on the swap, it would be greatly appreciated :D nice driving man!

[d4kota1995]

[d4kota1995]

@rvamoc thanks i just got an 86 mr2

[synthead]

Excellent driving! Mean blowoff valve too.

[danielalien]

My arms get tired, just watching you!

[mynock05]

MK1 MR2 is by far Toyota's greatest car, the Hachi Roku is obviously a close second.

[kyleisreallycool]

@mynock05

mkIII supra is the best

[mynock05]

@kyleisreallycool no. youre wrong

[youtoobesucks]

roll up the damn window

[theprgamer]

i like how there were all twos at the end =D

[Weazell]

that looks like so much fun

[Straightsix76]

good vid, funny to see the little rice rocket smoke the big vette

[fatdudefoshizzle]

it's not a rice rocket...

[laughsatposers]

It sure is.

[khmerpride]

wow, how much would it cost to do a motor like this? I don't plan on racing but to work and get a motor like this in my car would be awesome. I already got the car appraised at 6k just on the exterior and engine rebuild

[kassandrasduplex]

See You Tube video "MR2 vs. Corvette".

[sziebnsept77]

dude tha BOV sounds so fuckin sweet!

[NJtriple6]

i can't wait to do that to my AW11. how much would it roughly cost to make all the mods?

[macdaddy08]

i didnt say its not fast but the guy said 4.6 0-60 with 341hp with a car that weighs about 2300lbs the math doesnt really add up???

[GazBoffinThe2nd]

Probably lightened/stripped to the shit.

[240sxPerson]

nope, just a naturally light car with a well tuned motor to back it...

[youtoobesucks]

i agree. a USDM mk2 puts down about 200 WHP less and is only a second +/- slower. the numbers DON'T add up

[macdaddy08]

341hp

4.6second 0-60 seems like it would be quicker?

[iamsmilie]

4:26

[ebouwman034]

i know what you mean, at first glance it kinda looks like a nissan pulsar i hate to say, and you really can't quite tell it's mid engine. i have an 86 auto, seriously underpowered though i think, but i just found out my valves weren't getting a good seal so that might be a bit of it..

[DJCooperNeutralize]

subscride to me for more MR2 videos coming soon

[rjkStudios]

Someone just completed a 2GR-FE swap into a mk2, you're looking at around 10k for parts alone. He did all work himself, but estimated another 10k in labour at only $50/hour rate.

[youtoobesucks]

200 hours of labor for an engine swap? 5 weeks of a normal work week. What is he doin? Drinking Naty Lite and taking a break every hour?

[rvamoc]

@youtoobesucks

the swap had never been done before in the world so with that everything was done by trial and error. at one point he had to install the engine 3-4 times before he could get the engine mounts right.

[7eyedviper]

@youtoobesucks

Those are my work ethics LOL

[mobeenkhan]

I have 1987 mr2 mk1 swaping honda F20 engine

(accord Sir eng)because in my country no other toyota option is available and my friendis is honda tuner!

[mxkcrm]

I happen To have an 87 MR2 and was thinking of doin an engine swap. I was just wondering How long did it take and if it was difficult?? Or how much did you pay to get it done? I plan on gettting the 3S-GTE

[warlord64]

you can get a 3S-GTE engine used under 60k miles for $450.00 from CNC Engines Co.

[erickplaystation]

WHERE?! I can't find their website? are they in the US? I also have an AW11..

[NJtriple6]

nice, i got an 87, but its auto and the body has a few dings. but i plan to do the same thing. imma sell my auto and get another AW11 then do the 3sgte swap. but money's ALWAYS an issue. lol

[haruAW11]

Oh! it's real 頭文字Ｄ　！！　(≧∇≦)b

[jeremygts]

didnt really get too close to the white car but was that an AE92?

[rvamoc]

no that wasnt an AE92 it was a first gen MR2.

you couldnt pass but only in two places on the track also.

[SagaraSouske]

you gotta speak his JDM language and tell em it's an AW11 lol

[rvamoc]

sorry... i forgot my JDM language :D

[Jaydee254]

oh man nice car... but i bet my 95' mr2 would kick ya ass xD

[Rtech]

doubt it...I don't seeing the second Gen being anywhere close to as light as that the first gen can be. plus he probably gutted it and then made the swap. I donno, I'm still somewhat of a noob but I'm pretty sure lighter + more power then before usually =better power to weight, which is good...right?

[Jaydee254]

lol.. oh well your absolutly right, but mine will kick it in the cool factor xD.. cant beat that ;) because we know the 95 looks way better than the older ver :P

[Nitrosx]

IMO I prefer the sleeper box look of my 88 sc over your *kind of ricey 95* I had to bite my tongue to say it. Many many people like the 1st gens over the 2nd gens

[xraycortina]

me too @ nitrosx, the 2nd gens looked too much like other cars, whilst the Mk1 was original in its shape. apart from looking a bit like the fiat x1/9 on which it was probably based. Mk1 was lighter as well.

[rvamoc]

this is a street legal MR2 that isnt gutted...

[hotboyonfiyer]

Oh yeah and that wasnt a z06. For one it didnt say z06 on the back and 2 when he first took off and you could see the side there was noz06 badge or side ducts at the bottom in front of the back tire

[rvamoc]

sorry i was miss informed. i corrected it. thank you!

[Tumbledeanie]

@hotboyonfiyer it was a zo6 and it does have side intakes.

[hotboyonfiyer]

Man you can tell that guy in the vette didnt know how to drive on a track let alone the car. Look how wide he was making his turns wtf?

[ironcouch57]

Nice race with that Corvette. Excellent job on the twisties :)

[FunkMasterLogan]

this car shits excellence

[06DJDan06]

that sounds sweet! :P

[cbamode]

how much power is this putting out?

[rvamoc]

341rwhp@17psi

0-60mph @ 4.6sec

[06DJDan06]

ive just purchased a 1986 mk1 mr2. will the turbo kit for an AE86 fit on the mr2 lump?

[06DJDan06]

kwl kwl, wont the downpipe etc b different too?
