MR2 Spyder NA Build COMPLETE! - Driving Impressions, Power Guestimate | Part 6

[@SeanEurich]

Congrats on the first drive! My guess is 232hp/187tq to the wheels.

[@johnmann7o2]

Don’t forget to have a fan blowing directly into the side scoop where your intake is during dyno, otherwise hot IAT= 15 whp loss.

[@BoostedorNA]

Thx, hopefully this helps. The IAT sensor was hanging in the engine bay for the other dyno.

[@fillername458]

Looking forward to the turbo build.

[@longbowdt]

Well done. Keep in it until you're satisfied that its where you envisioned it.

[@BoostedorNA]

I envisioned reliability, the extra power was a bonus. Time will tell!

[@longbowdt]

@@BoostedorNA in my past I've downed 3 MR2s: '85, '88SC, and 91T. All bought new. I kept the 91 for 11 years. Now, in my later years I lust a Spider with a K24 and a 6-speed. Until I resolve that lust I'll content myself to watching and rooting for those who do. Meanwhile my old Golf R serves me in an ok manner.😉

[@BoostedorNA]

I wanted the MR2 turbo, got the Celica GT-Four instead. It's a pain but I still love it!

[@Kapil-Patel]

Great job bro. I'm gonna guess 235hp 💪🏽😎 Looking forward to the next episode.

[@dimitriliving]

Are you based out of Florida? This looks like Orlando lol. If you are then you should hit up the local autocross with that beast.

[@BoostedorNA]

I'm in Lakeland. Once I get it sorted, I'll hit up some events. Shoot me some places!

[@hamsterbrigade]

Where did you get the TRD side skirts? Also, what are the specs on those wheels(width, diameter, offset)? If you don't mind me asking.

[@BoostedorNA]

Those are TD3000 skirts. Fronts are Motegi MR116, 17x7 40mm, 4x100, rears are Enkei Kojin 18x9.5, 45mm, 5x100

[@Truulovemotorsports]

Going to guess 231whp 187wtq if you go use the same dyno. K24 head is a bottle neck and the dic just have more duration than 08 tsx cams

[@thomasharris5151]

Sooooooo whst was the dyno numbers?! I guessed 239hp & 199tq 👌🏾💎😎🔥

[@BoostedorNA]

242hp 208tq

[@thomasharris5151]

@@BoostedorNA I was close on the hp… hey are you going to make a video about it one day🤔

[@BoostedorNA]

I just checked and you're the closest! I am, but the footage is limited. I was packing/moving so I just dropped it off and picked it up. It's got a hiccup at 4500 so I was gonna reshoot while they fix and test it.

[@vltruan]

Hey brother good luck with the build. I had a question. Where did you find that rear crash bar?

[@BoostedorNA]

I got it from someone on Spyderchat forums, I think username phattires. There's a few guys there making some.

[@torew01]

Nice! I see you have one more MR2 in the garage, is that stock? I didn't understand why you drain the brake fluid. Why not just vent the brake lines in the normal way?

[@BoostedorNA]

Yes, stock...K24 turbo starting soon. I never opened the brake system so I assumed pulling fluid from the reservoir would be easier.

[@waseembux7537]

That sounds so good. Got a 2zz in mine , is the k24 worth it?

[@BoostedorNA]

I think so. The 2ZZ/C60 made the K24 look cheap by comparison.

[@simplyklean]

Hey man quick question about the shifter set up. I have the version 1 and man i honestly dont know when the car is in gear ive adjusted quit a bit and still feels really sloppy. Does the v2 feel any better? Especially since now the counter weight can be welded back onto the shift selector

[@BoostedorNA]

If the 5 and 6 speed feel the same stock, the v2 shifter feels worlds better.

[@simplyklean]

@@BoostedorNA cool man i got a 5 speed in there but i dont even druve the car mufh just because of how bad it is right now shifting gears. Feels like im flipping a coin. Thanks for the info gona be getting that v2 cable

[@BoostedorNA]

Also consider the shift selector and detent springs mod, it makes a nice difference! kzbin.info/www/bejne/kHuVZ2mwopmYh6c

[@hamsterbrigade]

Did you ever end up getting this setup dyno'd?

[@BoostedorNA]

I did but the alternator died on the dyno. A friend said he's sure it'll make 245-250 wheel. I'll try to get back to the dyno in a few weeks if it's not too busy. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gX3FemCNm7aaraM

[@ryanrivera4756]

Built 1zz?

[@BoostedorNA]

K24, just added cams, 40 deg vtc, IM & TB.

[@juanmireles9850]

What's ur wheel specs with tires? i just purchased my mr2 i want a flust fit without rubbing

[@BoostedorNA]

This was an aggressive setup, 255/35/18 on 18x9.5 Kojin rear from my Celica, it rubbed.

[@juanmireles9850]

@Boosted or NA I see what do u suggest to be a aggressive setup with out rubbing. 17x8 rear and 16×7.5 u think that would be a nice flush set up

[@BoostedorNA]

If I can find a set, staggered 17x7/17x9 215/40 and 245/40. The offset would have to be roughly 38front/35rear. If you go too low, it'll likely rub still on hard braking/turning.

[@juanmireles9850]

@Boosted or NA thank you, I'm going to do a little research to the the best fit

[@aundrek7515]

How many mpg would you say you get with the k swap?

[@BoostedorNA]

Best about 26mpg, worst about 21, usually revving out.

[@samster978]

did you change the fuel pump in your car?

[@BoostedorNA]

I didn't, honestly overlooked it but heard it should be OK for current goals.

[@thetumanshow]

Cool videos but I’d try and get them down to like the 10-15 minute mark. Can trim a lot of “fat” and save time and keep our attention .

[@BoostedorNA]

Thx for the constructive feedback!

[@manthenasriyashwanthvarma4037]

hey man, Would you sell the car..?

[@BoostedorNA]

I considered selling, got an offer but no follow through.
