JDM87's MR2 (Bringing sexy back, paint and turbo rebuild) - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

JDM87 · 10-30-2006, 11:00 AM

I First owned a Turbod GSR Integra....

BUt then ran into some problems and decided to get rid of it and then i came across the mr2 who a good friend of mine owned.

Im currently in the process of building a beast machine. My idea is to make my daily driver into a fast car while still looking good. The plan is to finish my engine and then get the car ready for show.

1991 Toyota MR2 Turbo

Current MODS:
Greddy Pex Exhaust
Trd Metal head gasket
JE pistons 8:5:1 compression
bord 40 mm over stock
supra 550cc injectors
aeromotive fuel pressure regulator
Greddy T67 turbo
apex intake
Apex super afc
Turbo xs manual boost controller
HKS ssqv
Greddy intercooler w/fan
Springs
18' Tenzos painted black wrapped in kumhos
TRD shift knob
Momo steering wheel
Sparco HUb
Sparco CF pedals
DEFI gauges
Alpine FLip out
DVD player
10' Eclipse sub
Border Front Bumper
Border Side Skirts
Border Rear Add ons
Retrod s4 HID's
JDM fog lights
CF hood
94 tail conversion jdm style

Car makes 304 rwhp on a 18 psi safe tune.
Dyno Sheet

Things to come:
Corbeau A4 seats
HKS Cams
Head work
Hks Springs
Rear Air Scoop
Walbro 255 fuel pump
Door panels and dash re done to match
TRD spoiler
TMIC
T78
Sleepy eye mod
Digital Cluster
Satin SIlver paintjob(around 12/13/06!)
Turbo rebuild(while car is getting painted)
Clean up the engine

After the cams, fuel pump and uping the psi to 20 i should be making close if not more than 400 rwhp.
Over all goal power wise is to make 500rwhp.

Most likely the car will be sold after paint due to my dad haten on my tuner style. Im 90% positive im getting a used evo 8 from the dealer.

JDM87 · 11-02-2006, 10:38 AM

Id figure this would be a good time to update. Yesterday a random girl at school wasnt paying attention and hit my car. It is her fault but the dos will be done for a while since hes gotta be repaired. On a good note i might just take the check and have the car completely repainted now rather than later. Updates to come...

JDM87 · 11-04-2006, 01:16 PM

the wife got me a memo steering wheel, sparco hub, and sparco cf pedals. Once i get them on ill take some pictures.

02rex · 11-07-2006, 12:38 PM
