Toyota MR2 Turbo races Honda Civic EG Hatch with 10k RPM redline Integra Type R motor Swap

[BitchIAintStupid]

Mr2

[finnyfella]

Something just not right there! That MR2 must be non turbo, no offense but a SW20 3SGTE, would smoke the balls of a modified civic! Meaning no offense to the Honda BTW I owned an Both these cars n the MR2 is by far the faster car. Never heard the dump valve go off so thinking it's s N/A

@finnyfella

Wiki: The US MR2 Turbo finishes the 1/4 mile in 14.7 seconds.

As stated previously, this particular Mr2 which was mildly modified and ran 13.5sec @100-105mph.

High velocity race eliminates the launch advantage of a Mid Engine, RWD car.

Integra Type R weighs 2643 and runs around 15.0

EG Civic weighs around 2100 lbs and this one had a highly modified Type R engine.

Bench Racing much eh?

[Criis2012]

I kept up to my friends mr2 who is boosting more and full exhaust with my stock gsr from japan btw a b18c just with type r headers and ls tranny which sucks balls, mr2s aren't that fast until you do little extra to it.

[wajalama]

@Criis2012 You mean "GSR's aren't that fast until you do a little extra to it".

There's no way a stock N/A car with less torque, FWD (wheelspin, torque steer, etc.), and less bhp could keep up with a turbocharged MR that has a boost controller ( mind you, they're pushing out around 200-250bhp STOCK, depends which gen. ) on the highway.

@MatthewGoul  eg

[BoostedDeuce]

Wasrdude, he meant a 3rd gen motor, not a mk3 (spider). I suggest you learn what you're talking about before you call someone else out.

[wasrdude]

are you kiddin kid? my 91 gen 2 mr2 turbo left stock would smoke any gen3 mr2 stock. gen3's ruined the name

[leakedfromtv]

@wasrdude get your shit straight before commenting. he means gen3 3sgte you fucktard!

[krzfly]

mr2 looks like a regular gen2 with bolt-ons. not fast at all.  if it were a gen3, DIFFERENT STORY!

[chronictoxic101]

props to the EG n/a

[Nitrousx]

Quick civic! lol :)

[SirUncleCid]

<3 MR2s

[azn069]

Nice race, do you still know the whereabouts of the Civic or the MR2? Such nice cars!

[InATrance4Life]

That first race right there power to weight was the man!!!!! ie = civic

[alltracmaster]

If the mr2 guys buy a boost controler he can say BYE BYE HONDA every time..!

[oldboi1]

stock for stock mr2 turbo would kill the integra type r wich lump in the civic came from mr2 turbo all the way thats coming from a owner im soon buyin a integra type r but as a STEP DOWN !!!

[mrcs007]

@MatthewGoul

Yeah, probably a responsible citizen. I think it was a WS6 from what i remember...that many years ago. I think it would have been a respectable competition between the 3 cars on an Autobahn roll.

[chevystud88]

@MatthewGoul Probably a 3.8 V6 under the hood of the Firebird. But yes, it would have been more legit if the Firebird went at it just for fun. I have a stock 06 GTO with the 400 hp LS2 motor and 6-sp. manual tranny. It's all stock, but I still race people, whether I win or lose. Now, I may be a muscle car guy, but I can take a loss against smaller cars. It's the respect that counts the most. :)

[StationaryNomad361]

that's a close race

[whoohaaXL]

DAMN GOOD even race!

[InATrance4Life]

Having passengers slow you down!!!!!! If that eg didn't have that passenger it would probably beat the mr2 by a car or so.......

[atsernov]

@InATrance4Life How is that relevant? The MR2 also had a passenger, who do you think is filming the EG in the split screen?

[InATrance4Life]

@atsernov Yea but the passengers can be of different weight 20-50lbs makes a difference unless there the same weight then you can just forget about what i said lol

[bbbbbasify]

i love honda's but no efence my mercedes AMG will kill both of them

[realenthusiasm]

mr2 should've tried smoking an s2000 instead..

[tnizzle916]

Damn that doesn't seem right for a swap in a hatch to hang with an MR2 like that... I'm guessing it's heavily modded to push up to 10k rpm but at the same time it should pull hard on that MR2.. Was it even tuned?

[xRICHxBOIx]

good filming made it fun to watch

[rideforlife15]

If they put an h22a v-tec in the hatch it would walk all over the mr-2 but either way good race.

[Gattsu83]

That MR2 seem stock. I raced a RHD Civic with a type R swap. I had full bolt ons running 13 lbs and killed him every time.

[hoeter01]

mr2's do have the potential to be beasts but being that the hatch is n/a....it's still cool to see it hang with a boosted mr2. props to the hatch!

[hmong337]

this vid is old but still a good one.

[RAF92Warhawk]

great video. I have similar mods to that mr2 and it feels like it pulls hard on the street. So that civic must be fun to drive too.

[roycivic92]

turbo the type r on 5-6 psi and and u would all be butt hurt.

[mrcs007]

Yep, you are right. If an MR2 goes 13.5 with just a boost controller, then i would suspect if you tuned an MR2 to 10k, that it would be quite a bit faster than a 13.5 at 100 mph.

At highway speeds, you have the MR2 with lower Cd and more sheer horsepower, which is what wins a high speed run anyways.

[glowboi209]

Wow, this video is based on 4 years ago? =) Very interesting to watch. Nice video capturing by the way.

[mrcs007]

Still not bad for a NA 1.8 liter versus a Turboed 2.0 with a boost controller.

[hmong337]

@mrcs007

yea but you're forgetting that those bubble's weigh like 700-800 lbs lighter than the mr2.

[glowboi209]

What's the modification on the cars?

(Seemed like a pretty stock MR2)

Nice video by the way..

[mrcs007]

Based upon memory (2004 video i believe)

Performance Mods for MR2 at the time had like a boost controller, exhaust system, cone filter some heavy enkei wheels, stock turbo. I believe it ran a 13.5 at 100-105 with those modifications.

Civic - NA B15C5 with normal IHE, unsure about internals, but pretty heavy with modifications. I am unsure about the 100% complete setup though.

[SWATKIID]

im not bashing on the civic but for a heavy modded civic against a almost stock mr2 im surprised the civic didnt win. motor swap and all that other shit damn...mr2's are just beasts

[furby3uk]

quite a fast wee civic,i would smoke his ass easily in my 2 turbo tho
