    Future ideas for the MR2...

    Granted, nothing happens until I have a few extra thousand dollars kicking around, which, needless to say, is a long, long way off..however..I decided to throw up a poll just for kicks. :)

    I'd edit the poll and add that, but it won't let me. :p

    I found a couple of silvertops for $500-1000..how much work would it need to be happy with a turbo?

    Just a cleanup of the cylinders and hone, and 4AGZE pistons. You're going to want a standalone anyway (MS?), so just get one with a cut harness and no ECU.

    (For the ultimate setup you would want the entire 4AGZE bottom end so that you get the oil squirters, but that's another expense.)

    gze...... swap it directly then see what you like. the turbo setup it won't have the nice INSTANT boost that the gze does..... i'm really happy with my setup..... and when i turn the s/c off (and the car isn't even 100% tuned) i get over 30mpg on the highway! can't beat that :)
