Cool videos I just got a mr2 mk2 2L turbo today

[@GeekoftheRoad]

Thanks for the comment! I'm sure you'll enjoy your new purchase :D

Great video fam

[@GeekoftheRoad]

+RealShaneOG Thanks!

[@shaneoooooooo]

Do you have an instagram or twitter? I recently just got a 1994 mr2 and your videos are really helpful! Any recent update on that mr2?

[@GeekoftheRoad]

+RealShaneOG I don't really update my Twitter and don't have an Instagram for the channel. I've been really busy for the last few months and have Kym up in the air with a really slow clutch change going on. I hope to get back to another video in a few weeks time... Congrats on the new car; hope you enjoy it and I'm glad my videos are useful for you.

Thanks :)

[@anishadheen4716]

wow this is an amazing video! how do I know when to top up the coolant?

[@GeekoftheRoad]

Thanks :) There is a coolant bottle you could check but it's location is so awkward I don't know anyone who actually does. A trick you can use instead is to take a *cold* engine, open the rad cap and squeeze the rubber pipe going to the cap - if you can't see coolant appear as you squeeze then it's worth topping up.

Hi, where is the cabin air filter ?

[@GeekoftheRoad]

There isn't one

So...my big bro fucked up changing my oil in my '91 mr2 and turned out he poured out the transmission oil. How do i put the transmission oil? Cause i have to get this done right now

David Rosabal You get it fixed? It’s kind of a bitch on the MR2 but doable. The right socket makes the difference.

[@davidrosabal269]

@@negativeindustrial yeah i got it fixed, i found out on the same day it had misfires om 3 cylinders and it still does no matter what i do to fix it

[@negativeindustrial]

David Rosabal You replace the coil, igniter, plugs, plug wires, distributor, cap and rotor with actual Toyota parts? If you did all of that, it’s probably a leaky ECU.

[@negativeindustrial]

That’s weird. I’ve had several 3S-GEs and 3S-GTEs and the filter always comes out from top. I’ve never seen one pointed down before.

[@GeekoftheRoad]

I know the earlier 3S-GTEs had the oil filer on the side of the block (under the exhaust manifold) but on gen3 GEs and GTEs the oil filter is on the sump.

[@negativeindustrial]

Geek of the Road Yeah, we never got the later engines. My Celica has an ST-185 CS/RC engine and my MR2 has the USDM Gen II 3S

[@heytheremr2]

Toyota North America should have used the 3SGE here instead of the 5SFE. Uggghh

[@negativeindustrial]

Jeffrey Cortez I had a Celica with it. Brilliant engine. The 5S-FE is the most reliable engine of all time tho. Hands down.

Subbed.
