🐒 INSANE 180MPH 600HP TOYOTA MR2 TURBO REVIEW! *K20 SWAP*

I genuinely hope that this video finally makes people appreciate the roadster, ive had mine for over 14 years, and its currently 345 at the wheels, so around 400ish and it mullers my 600horsepower skyline, and yet everyone slates them and says they're garbage. best handling car you can get for sub 50k in my opinion.

[@Darkslide2AR-FE]

I used to think this car did the 2nd gen a disgrace when I first saw it after owning a 91 MR2 Turbo. When I was in college I had a classmate who owned a 3rd gen so I asked him what is it like driving it. He was in love with the car that it was great for AutoX and track use where as 2nd gen was more ideal for drag racing cause of the classic snap oversteer (which thank god never happened to me.) Ever since I've grown appreciative of the 3rd Gen and seeing one now with a K20 swap with a ridiculous amount of power to weight ratio makes me grin!

[@Jack-my4mx]

The best car you’ve ever reviewed, hands down. I want one.

[@damo8754]

What a savage, 600bhp and just under a tonne in weight 😁 Edit: There is a mr2 roadster built by a British enthusiast, I think an engineer, he had a mad aero kit on his car that made some mad downforce. So much he needed to re design his suspension to compensate. Did a nurburgring lap.

[@edim108]

The crazy part is that with further mods there is still a lot of power left in that block. Honda made magic with the K series engines. All that power in a car that stock weighs less than 1 ton is absurd. 600HP at 1 ton weight is Zonda R territory, and that is with stock pannels. There are carbon fiber body parts for MR2- hood, engine cover, hard top, doors. With those you're looking at well under a a ton. All the more reasons to love this car! It has fantastic chassis and it's pretty inexpensive stock. It's a budget supercar waiting to be built.

[@papapetad]

Ol John seems to know his way around a shifter 🤣. What a peach of a car. Nuts in the best way possible. Honda K series doing the magic as usual. Kudos to the engineers for putting these motors together. They did everyone a solid. Them and the handful of other top notch engines we can get our hands on like the jz, uz, barra, LS and such. Some lesser-known good uns out there also but often a bit rare. Still, without these people fighting corporate fuckery and bringing us good motors, it'd be so much harder having this kind of fun. Gotta hand it to them.

[@clementspeedshop]

Yes! That's a banging video. Love the build, so surprised how it puts the power down. Maybe the torque characteristics help? I need more boost is all I'm thinking 🤔

Ample weight over rear axle, kinda like a 911. Plus very well mapped by Jcal, very linear so doesn't bite you too bad with in reason considering power levels. Epic 👍

Can still get some decent cars for less than 2k if you look around. For my money search out a car with a smoking 1zz engine (likes a bit of boost mind) and pay peanuts then swap it for something with a bit more ooooshta. 2zz seems easiest. K20 has loads of grins but way more work. Less common but getting pooular is 2AR and toyota v6 options

I'm not up for 600hp but gotbto admit its good to know the mr2 can do 600hp. Mr2 can launch with its standard motor cant image what this beast is like.
