MR2 2ZZ v EP3 K20 @ Oulton Park

[@noekiyu]

Awesome 2zz sound. Impressive driving and shifting skills.

[@dtrain1634]

Nice 2ZZ mr2 that’s like 180bhp/ton 😮

[@normandaquioag8067]

That extra small displacement of k20 makes a big difference. I wonder how the 2 engines match up with same displacement!

[@mcnorm4023]

vvti in audio is kicken in hard love that sound

[@Lobo_Argent]

VVTL-i ;) Dont forget, Lift!

[@redjstc9123]

That sound❤️

[@dollykean]

Nice set up !

[@DriftmanX]

Sheesh that k20 hauls on the straights

[@MRS-2ZZ]

Indeed. Power to weight isn't to dissimilar either. MR2 205hp p/ton & Civic 212hp p/ton. The K20's extra torque really helps it pull away.

[@MRS-2ZZ]

@T T for the 2nd time of telling you this is a different engine, stop spouting shite!

[@theregoesmiller389]

ugh.. i miss driving my 2zz swapped 01 frog.. i need to replace the crank.. spun a bearing... i have everything.. just been too lazy.. nice vid ! mine is on bc coilovers on 225 45 15 hankook rs4s with carbotech xp8 pads !

Hi mate really nice driving have you changed the setup since this video I’m trying to set up mine for the track ,read the description are you not using arbs?

[@MRS-2ZZ]

Hiya mate, missed out the description front and rear whiteline ARBs. Front full stiff, rear middle setting. Hope this helps.

[@jamesst1809]

@@MRS-2ZZ great mate that really does I just got some white line arb just didn’t know what setting to put on

[@ulisesavila2879]

Doesn't ep3 need driver mod? I feel that he could have been more aggresive in some places. In other things, your driving feels so smooth and the cars seems also fine tuned. Congratz.

[@ringbummers]

That was me 😂 I'm far too sympathetic to my cars. Phil is the total opposite 🤣

[@georgmoro5594]

Sehr geil gemacht 😘

[@nobodyshero200]

What bucket did you fit on what rails? I am worried about losing leg room.

[@themole85]

nice driving! how do you like the meister R coilovers?

[@MRS-2ZZ]

Great! Very flexible. On road they don't break your back, but can handle full slicks on track. All you need really.

[@marco-me7og]

You could have been a bit more aggressive un some places

[@CYMRU619]

Am I right in thinking the seat is a Sparco Evo? Want to put buckets in my MR2 and wondering which ones will fit.

[@MRS-2ZZ]

Its an OMP ARS bolted to a Rogue Motorsport subframe. Most side mounted seats will fit a mk3, as long as they're not XL width.

[@CYMRU619]

@@MRS-2ZZ Cheers for the info.

[@fernandomorajimenez9291]

Are you running the stock 5spd or the 6th from another car?

[@MRS-2ZZ]

C60 6 speed from the Celica

[@ottosgarage7986]

Did you put the mr2 atb and 6th gear in the celica box?

[@MRS-2ZZ]

@@ottosgarage7986 torsen diff fitted from the MR2 box, 6th or FD no. Wasn't me who done the original swap, but I'll be fitting them come rebuild time as its a cunt at motorway speeds, as it sits at over 4000rpm at 70mph ☹

[@DimoS...]

@@MRS-2ZZ is reliable the c60 mate? What fluid you use?

[@MRS-2ZZ]

Its taken A LOT of abuse over the last 3 years so yes I'd say reliable. I do heel and toe rev match which will help. I use MT90 fluid.

[@andysky5]

Nice driving bro, your car seems really well setup and stable in corners...may I know what suspension are you using on your mrs ? Also since Mrs is prone to snap oversteer, maybe a bit of rear wing will help your cornering speed Hope to see more of your driving and sharing information on mrs since I also own one. Thanks

[@MRS-2ZZ]

Thanks mate. Spec of the car in the description. Yeah, functional aero is on the list of mods for the future.

[@andysky5]

@@MRS-2ZZ Thanks for the info.....best of luck to you on your track timing

[@jimchance5006]

3rd gen mr2's didn't have as much of a problem with snap oversteer. They had better suspension setups and staggered wide rear tires

[@DildosForChristmas]

MRS isn't prone to snap oversteer, that was the SW20. MRS understeers from factory

[@olivercullen1737]

Have you got a baffled sump?

[@MRS-2ZZ]

Elise parts 2zz baffled sump.

[@manongd7412]

What muffler do you use?

[@MRS-2ZZ]

Custom built unit, made with parts from ebay and the OE silencer.

You’re supposed to put the K20 in the MR2

You suck BTW Toyota been making better motors then Honda for a very long time

[@dwaineskully6515]

The Honda gave up the lead so easily.. He must had develop mechanical problems.

That was me, I can't compete with Phil 😂 never mechanical problems, it's a Honda!

[@dwaineskully6515]

@@ringbummers are you saying a k20 n/a as no chance against a 2zz? By the way suberb driving thumbs up.

[@ringbummers]

@@dwaineskully6515 no way a K20 with a better driver might tho 😂 don't forget the K20 might be a slightly better engine but the mr2 is a better car than the ep3. Mid engine rear wheel drive lower centre of gravity vs fwd with Torsen lsd. 2zz Mr2 is a much more driver focused package in my opinion. I've sold the ep3 a couple of years ago, it's old tech now.

[@dwaineskully6515]

@@ringbummers maybe in your neck of the woods you have more options and affordablity in choice of fun real reliable cars.... But in Jamaica 🇯🇲 it's mainly fwd Toyotas and Hondas are the popular, 2zz is common too however an mr2 is rear... And that's were u have the advantage with a more driver orientated design car... Reminded me of Intial D AE86 wasn't the fastest car but it's design made it perfect for drifting.... Ep3 is better at drags and sprints.... However whats a fun affordable recommendation u would make given ep3 technology is out dated?
