1987 MR2 (AW11) MK1 Supercharger POV Drive

Some little clips here and there. Car stock with exception of 175mm pulley

Don’t get it twisted this mr2 from the 80s goes fast asf

[@TheOfficialCaseMade]

Actually in 1989 the supercharged MR2 was genuinely one of the quickest cars from 0-60 you could buy. Somewhere under 7 seconds, which was damn near Porsche and Ferrari territory... For almost 1/4th the price. Today, that would basically be like a

Nice sc sounds! And your aw is so clean!!!

[@NeonBlunders]

Thanks dude! Yours sounds very good!

[@Conanbroman]

Friend has one of these, awesome little cars, love that supercharger whine and the little green light on the dash for it. The thing was extremely heavy to steer with no power steering at low speed but that's a fair trade off.

[@NeonBlunders]

Yes, lovely little car. No power steering feeling is great though.

[@Conanbroman]

@@NeonBlunders Yeah I didnt get a chance to test the limits in it but I'm sure it is, perhaps im just a weakling or so used to power steering after all these years heh. Doesn't detract from the car, it is what it is. I'm sure alot would argue it's more pure without.

[@SpacehotelMusic]

@@Conanbroman No weight over front wheels meant it never felt THAT heavy at low speeds to me (even after power assisted cars) and perfect at speed.

[@leintethegreat6678]

really like these things; fun light car for the weekends. Will probably end up getting one of these or a del sol.

[@NeonBlunders]

I'd highly recommend them and as always the prices only go one way. Del Sol is cool too, just try and get an SiR if you can for maximum coolness

[@luisgonzalez7783]

Love this video, it inspired me to get a 175 mm pulley from T3. I’m wondering if you ever ran lean or lost power in the low end though, like before 3500 RPMs. Did you ever do any fuel mods or install a grunt box to compensate or did the pulley work perfectly with a stock 4AGZE?

[@NeonBlunders]

Hey nice! Good to hear that! The pulley required nothing else. All I had was an intake and exhaust otherwise.

[@luisgonzalez7783]

@@NeonBlunders Awesome, great to hear! Hope you're enjoying the Caterham man.

[@NeonBlunders]

Thanks! I have a Honda S660 now which is my primary car. I may get a new camera soon and do some videos with that eventually

[@AE92World]

Hey man nice vid, your SC is very audible in this! I see you're in the UK too. I have a AE92 Trueno GTZ with the same engine (but a later gen) but I can't hear the SC at all! I haven't done the pulley upgrade though, did getting the larger pulley make the SC noise more noticeable? Thanks

[@NeonBlunders]

Awesome cars! Yes, the pulley made a huge difference and I was also running a cone filter (in the boot as per the MK1B intake layout).

[@charliedoyle4063]

Hey man! what an amazing mr2! I was wondering everything that you have that is aftermarket on this? I am looking to get a MR2 but I do not know what to buy to boost the hp. I am looking at the same model car as this too. I just love the way this car sounds and its awesome speed! Keep it up!

[@NeonBlunders]

At the time it was just K&N intake in the trunk, custom made de-cat exhaust, larger crank pulley for higher boost and that was it I believe.

[@charliedoyle4063]

@@NeonBlunders ok great thanks! also, can I supercharge my mr2 that is not supercharged. Its a 1987.

[@NeonBlunders]

@@charliedoyle4063 I suppose you could, however the engine in this car is modified to accommodate the supercharger. Google 4AGZE differences to 4AGE

[@SpacehotelMusic]

@@charliedoyle4063 I've done 2 SC conversions (with the full 4agze kit into NA bodies) but it's much simpler, easier and even cheaper to just swap in the 4AGZE engine, wiring loom, change some bits like engine lid latch (you'll need that engine lid too which is expensive). It's not so simple to just bolt on an SC to the NA 4AGE, the ZE has a lot of stronger parts internally etc to cope.

[@Nemoticon]

Wow, I wish mine drove like that... mine feels every one of it's 32 years and 140k miles it's lived. I've ALSO got a model of my car in the dash-tray, only matchbox size, lol

[@NeonBlunders]

I'm sure it's still great fun to drive! And good for you for keeping another running on the road.

[@Nemoticon]

@@NeonBlunders Ofc it is, lol. I do it for the good of mankind, Mk1s need to be kept running so they can be enjoyed by everyone. Nothing warms my heart more than when a kid stops their mum in the middle of the street pointing and shouting FERRARI!!! And where I live, it happens all the time, lol

I'll look out for one. My MR2 is sold now, left me on Saturday.

[@bubblegumpaperboy9604]

wonderful car . Iam driving a MR2 myself.which exhasut do you have ?

[@NeonBlunders]

This exhaust was custom made, and is basically the same as stock, except with a resonator delete, no cat, so just the rear silencer. It's quite loud, but doesn't drone. It sounds great. Sorry I can't specify exactly where it's from, as the last owner put it on and all I know is that I was made specially.

[@samsukkarieh1909]

Hey man ive been searching for an answer to this but i cant seem to have any luck. So my sc aw11 isnt currently able to be driven for numerous reasons. Though it does start and run well. Ok so the concern here is that when the mr2 is revved in neutral the supercharger light doesnt come on except for a split second. And no s/c whine is present. So is my supercharger messing up or doesnt the supercharger make boost in neutral position when revved. Do i need to be actually moving to make boost? Appreciate any help cheers

[@NeonBlunders]

That's normal! Your supercharger is on a magnetic clutch so will only enable when you press the throttle down more than 75%, and obviously you cant hold that for long when revving on the spot. Mine was exactly the same.

[@samsukkarieh1909]

@@NeonBlunders ok phew😅 i even ended up taking off the air filter and listning to hear if its even making pressure but there wasnt any sign which got me worried. Thanks man your a great help.

I would love to buy one of these, but sadly the supercharged variant is neigh impossible to find in Australia

I'm surprised with how much Aussies like imports. There's not many left in the UK with how badly they rust anyways

[@user-tz3cd2cb5n]

最高！

[@samsukkarieh1909]

Hey man is there an after market crank pulley fitted or is that whine stock😊

[@NeonBlunders]

It had a crank pulley installed which made it louder, but you can still get nice whine if you replace the airbox with a cone filter and remove the foam sound deadner inside the rear arch

[@samsukkarieh1909]

@@NeonBlunders thanks for the reply man. But sorry just another question...soo how much extra psi are you making from the pulley. Much power gainz and feel? Also where do you recommend purchasing. P.s i recently bought the special edition S/C aw11 and im really curious about the crank pulley upgrade). Thank man appreciste it!

[@NeonBlunders]

I believe it was 14psi up from 8psi. Definately way more torque and power. Made the car much better on highways. Lovely, you'll enjoy it! I bought mine from TechnoToyTuning: technotoytuning.com/toyota/aw11/4agze-175mm-high-boost-complete-power-set

[@planet231]

Is that the stock supercharged model? Or is the car modded?

[@NeonBlunders]

It's a stock MK1 Supercharger but with an uprated crank pulley for some more boost.

[@aw11sc33]

😃❤😃

[@vltruane]

Does anybody know the differences were between the JDM, and US MK1 as far as performance?🤔

[@NeonBlunders]

I believe on the standard cars (so 4AGE) the US cars used a airflow meter and lower compression, making about 116hp. And the JDM cars used manifold air pressure system and higher compression which made around 128hp. I think this was to comply with Cali emissions laws. Not too sure about the Supercharger models.

Was that some heal n toeing at the start? Or wobbly knees.
