Cool to see someone elses take on a cheap 1zz turbo build and nice idea with sourcing OEM charge cooling bits. I put together a similar setup over xmas, but using a Maxpeedingrods TD04-13T, WRX STI intercooler and Speeduino for management, less than £1k all in! (self tuned ofc). Even running 7-8psi the increase in torque makes a huge difference in these cars imo, will be interesting to see how it compares to your 2AR. Full disclosure I did unfortunately send a rod through the block a few weeks ago due to taking the car for a drive without verifying my boost controller settings after messing about, woops... New engine + cheap eBay forged pistons and rods, I'm ready to take it a bit further 🤣
Hey, that Flex pipe. Does that Compress and Extend? I would guess when the motor torques it'll just push amd pull that whole exhaust system. FYI i have a modified version of that exhaust and my right side hanger broke off the pipe.
Yes sure will, just bought some of the last bits like boost hose elbows and clips. Getting near the final tot up. Part 2 might be uploaded this weekend.
nice!!! i have tried and driven all sorts of mr2s with different engines, but still not managed a turbo mk3.. I have just done some mk3 mr2 vids on my channel.. next up i am doing up my 2zz mr2.. maybe i should turbo that, ill follow your vids as it will be pretty similar :)
I saw your channel pop up a few weeks ago with that red one with black bits! Turbo 1zz is the most fun I've had in years, goes really really well..... but.... my clutch can't take it, it was new less than 2000 miles ago, new exedy stock clutch. But even with 4psi it slips, and that's why this video series has stalled at part 4! I just need to pull my finger out and put the new savage clutch in it. Then I can crank up the boost because I think it will be nuts at 9-10 psi !!! I love it more than my 2ar-fxe MR2 which is in my track day videos.
@@threepotMR2 I run a ceramic 6 paddle sprung helix clutch.. that takes full abuse, 6Krpm launches, it's a great clutch. I need to do more research into the 2ar, i've seen it pop up a few times.. but i do fancy some boost At least a clutch change isnt a huge job
@@Pistolspete82 Forget 2AR, its not very good, and it cost me about £8500 in total to do! Its a solid 215hp flywheel NA, and its very very torqey, but you could K swap for half the money and get more performance. Literally can't be arsed to take the gearbox out of an MR2 again, done it half a dozen times in the last 2 years. Anyway I noticed some of your videos are at threesisters, are you a northerner?
@@threepotMR2 nope, I am just a sucker for driving around the country, I am as far south as you can go, basically France.. I considered a K swap, I had a civic R, but i still prefer the character of the 2ZZ, Ive got a spare with dead bottom end i keep meaning to rebuild, so i have a proper spare
@@Pistolspete82 My black MR2 had a 2zz in it before I swapped for the 2AR. Its slightly faster with the 2AR but not much. But this little 1zz turbo might be quicker than both even at like 5psi I joke you not! Its pretty serious when it comes on whoosh, and better still it makes all the right noises. Its great fun to drive on the road. Just need to pull my finger out and drop the gearbox, I've got a competion clutch S3 pressure plate and a kevlar disc here ready to go in. I miss the 2ZZ, it was good fun to hammer it on track, the 2AR is a bit less exciting even though its faster. I miss the revvy zing.

What forged pistons are you going for? I've been looking at the maxpeedingrods H beam rods.
I've done pretty much this exact setup. Nice to see other people doing it - I have a video on my channel if you're interested or need tips!
Perfect video for me to understand what to do on my 00 corolla with a mr2 1zz in it!

very cool to see someone modding a 1ZZ, nice progress so far 👍🏽 would you do a price up when it's all said and done ? Thanks for sharing.
