(HD) Texas_Ace 325rwhp Toyota MR2 Turbo vs 283whp Civic Hatch

[mxkcrm]

Hey Ace is it possible to run this turbo with stock 91T ECU?? or would I HAVE to get an aftermarket ECU

[TexasAceAA]

@mxkcrm You could run it on a 2nd gen ECU/Fuel system but you would have to keep the boost real low to keep from going past the fuel system limits.

Once you upgrade the fuel system and ECU later then you can turn the boost up and really open it up.

Great run.

hi what do you think about the gt3076r turbo vs the gt3071r turbo for the mr2 gen3 turbo

[TexasAceAA]

@piloe12 The 76 will make a little more power but spool a little slower. Depends on your goals as to which is the better fit.

[piloe12]

and if you use a torque bar for traction is that

An option..

[TexasAceAA]

@piloe12 Talking about a traction bar that mounts between the tranny and front motor mount?

That will indeed improve shifting and traction a lot, Dedicated motorsports makes a real nice one for the MR2.

I didn't have one at the time of this video though.

only time i was close to home it didnt matter one of my intercooler couplers blew off i couldnt reach it from top or bottem with my short arms so i had to tow it lol

[TexasAceAA]

@WSupra See, thats why i love the 3rd gen or a stand alone, I have blown off couplers tons of times but i can still drive around like normal, just can't boost.

damn thats fast for such a quick and short mod. mad props.

[WSupra]

nice run.

[TexasAceAA]

@WSupra Thanks, wish i had got my best run on Camera. After adjusting the boost controller i was consistently trapping 93-94mph that night but the track got slick and i could not pull off a good launch for anything.

[WSupra]

@TexasAceAA. back before i left for school i tried goin to the track back home and the one time i was there it got rained out ha. hows the 2 now?

[TexasAceAA]

@WSupra Too bad, once you go down that 1/4 (or in my case 1/8th) mile of track you are hooked if you have anything like a fast car. I still remember the 1.7 60ft i pulled on this pass and the faster pass. It is a feeling you can't describe.

My MR2 is in pieces, timing belt slipped awhile back and have not got around to fixing it yet.

[WSupra]

@TexasAceAA i hope this summer i can when i get my 2 done. i remember my timing belt snapped and was stranded 12 miles away from town and it was 0 degrees out lol.

[TexasAceAA]

@WSupra LOL, i have had my timing belt slip twice, lucky for me both times i was only a few mins away from home.
