465bhp MR2 GT Turbo

The Red Beast is for sale...

I've owned the car for several years now, and as most of you have seen, spent a small mortgage on it, but the time has come for it to go. :(

I'll be sad to sell it, but needs must, and I feel the time for a little more practicality has come. I have recently got engaged, and have a new family to consider. An Mr2 like mine is a complete indulgence, and one that I have had the pleasure of for some time, but my new family comes first.

A new fuel system is shortly to be fitted, allowing 2.2 bar of boost to be run. This should see the motor make well over 600+ bhp on C16 race fuel.

Current power output:
465 fwhp @ 7200
360 ft/lb @ 5200
Running just 1 bar of boost (on Tesco 99 octane fuel).

Quarter mile of 12.44 @ 111 on Toyo T1-R's.

The car is capable of low 11's, possibly even 10's.

The dyno readout was taken when the older GT3071 turbo and 870cc injectors were fitted. It has since been fitted with a GT3582R and 1000cc injectors, and re-mapped by Dave Rowe.

Well in excess of £30k has been spent on this car (by the time the new fuel system is fitted, it will near £40k), and it's performance is as can be expected from a vehicle so extensively modified...

...Brutal!

Dave Rowe of MoTeC commented the last time the car was mapped, "It's not even trying yet..."

Offers in the region of £13k, or a part exchange with a 1998+ Honda Intagra DC2 (plus cash).

PM me for details, or ring me on 07989 903159.

Yeah boost is controlled by the MoTec now. The e-01 went ages ago.
