Seen one IRL and yes. She really is a beautiful car. Now I feel like I need one especially when you guys did a review on an engine swapped high horsepower MR2. Now I need one.
That's one of the best sounding cars I've ever heard imo! Love that raw sound. The car itself reminds me of nfs games where you would tune cars like this. Awesome 👍
One of my favourite cars matted with one of my favourite engines :D - I had an MR2 Turbo, sold it years ago due to running cost and now running an FN 2!
This brings back memories. I test drove a yellow one in 92 turbo, before purchasing an Acura Integra. I didn't qualify for the loan because it's nearly 10 grands more than the Integra LS.
Should've been the opposite if he wanted it to be insane (i could be wrong but that's what we did here) We usually do k24A2 bottom from an RSX than k20z3 head on top Costs a bit more indeed You get better times on the drag with that usually but probably for the MR2 it didn't matter
@@vvevvevvvv it could just be the fd, which is very common to whine when you change for k series boxes, but it does maybe sound like an m factory straight cut gearset. Not sure though
I daily one of these. Quite possibly the best handling car ive ever driven. Its very nippy considering i have the 180hp 3sge, im planning on eventually v6 swapping it.
That had a 3S-GE stock when it was original similar to my 1988 Toyota Celica GT which has a 3S-FE 2.0 inline 4 cylinder with 59K miles. And this insane MR2 id like to think of it as more of a Honda equivalent version of a S2000 and a Prelude combined
All Japanese cars of this type, with mid/rear engine and small size, were born to imitate the Fiat X1/9. (If I remember correctly Jeremy Clarkson said it in Top Gear or The Grand Tour) Even if, I'm Italian, I have to admit that they imitated her well. They're all beautiful. (Although as an Italian, I appreciate the X1/9 more) 🤣😊
Amazing car and looks like a blast to drive. I have a built 2GR (3.5L v6) turbo with similar power and a Tilton 7.25in OT-II cerametallic racing clutch and it's easy to get off the line without stalling. Wonder why this one has issues?
I just want to appreciate how many unusual cars you guys review.
Thanks!! We really try to be different
@@AutoTopnl ITB inline 3 low pressure turbo/ no turbo , for sound and low weight
Rare*
I wouldn't call it unusual, more rare than anything but get what you meant.
This is a common set up in Australia
The k20 really fits the mr2 wow!
Even fits in the generation after that
@@Birmingham_racing it fits basically all the cars that are around the mr2's size... great platfrom in general...
I like a v6 swap better for the mr2, but a k20 aint't bad either.
@@hoen2009 ew. V6 sound awful
@@Sharpened_Spoon not if you include the vr6
Imagine a 25 year old MR2 is passing you on the autobahn at 230 km/h. 🙂
Imagine this thing is 0.03 seconds slower 100-200 than a 800hp amg gtr💀
@@wisi4044 And not far from brand new Plaid
@@90boiler yeah but who cares about electric
At 230 you won't be doing much passing on the autobahn -> that's the cruising speed there 🤪
@@Litanic that is also true. 🙂
you know it’s ridiculous when you can feel the speed through the screen. Reminds me abit of the 9FF and tuned R8s that he did
I love the commentary of the driver! It really brings home just how intense these older cars are!
It's amazing what power these K series Honda engines can take. Brilliant engineering and never to be seen again.
The honda action recently has been insane, i like it
Love how much fun you had in this one, such a sweet car
Owned mine for 24yrs and it's absolutely the most raw feeling. I also have nothing automatic.. no power steering, no auto windows, etc.
Just watching this video already puts a smile on my face. Great car.
Now this is what they mean by a pocket rocket. I love it!
That’s what she said
I really love your channel for absolutely insane cars just like this MR2. What a beast
this is currently the best enthusiast car channel on youtube.
Those Vtec are amazing next thing is Bugatti k20
Seen one IRL and yes. She really is a beautiful car. Now I feel like I need one especially when you guys did a review on an engine swapped high horsepower MR2. Now I need one.
It has shit coolant system and oem exhaust. Side sills rust like hell too.
Just from the video thumbnail, seeing those rear tyres, you just know this car means business.
What an scary machine
Not air filter on the turbo intake? It seems only has some kind of a little mesh.
That car looks so fun! all those sounds and jitters add to the experience. It doesn't like going slow - like most true race cars ;)
That's one of the best sounding cars I've ever heard imo! Love that raw sound. The car itself reminds me of nfs games where you would tune cars like this. Awesome 👍
Mid-engined, Rear wheel drive, 2 seater, literally the perfect sports car!
MR2は今も色褪せないかっこよさ
そこにVTECターボの組合せが最高
こんばんは
That MR2 is BRUTAL! WOW! 😍
These are the kind of cars that I did, raw, insane power and makes you work for it.
Too much happiness in your voice
great videos as expected
I love this channel much love from America your guy’s reviews are amazing!
Mr2 is a dreamcar for me.
It's really raw, amazing job on the car, its really impressive.
You're living a dream man. Congrats!
Power of Dreams in an Toyota
Get in touch with the boostedboiz, their MR2 has more than twice the power from a K20
This channel is a gem for showing us very unusual and surprising cars. Thank you for such quality content.
BoostedBoiz from TH-cam have a Toyota MR2 *K20 that has done 0 - 400m in 7.59 seconds
with a standard block
One of my favourite cars matted with one of my favourite engines :D - I had an MR2 Turbo, sold it years ago due to running cost and now running an FN 2!
This thing is pure🔥
6:37 I've heard that line before 😔
This looks to be the quickest acceleration I’ve ever seen. Absolutely incredible.
It really gets to speed in a blink of an eye WOW
Vtec Just kicked in yoo
I've ridden in an MR2 before, they're super small and super light. I can't imagine 650HP in one, that is fucking crazy.
MR2= A PROPER DRIVERS CAR
Bro stood up and it looked like a hot wheels
Scaaary thing....so the supercar power inside...and so light...insaneee
This brings back memories. I test drove a yellow one in 92 turbo, before purchasing an Acura Integra. I didn't qualify for the loan because it's nearly 10 grands more than the Integra LS.
The shifting sounds so *Crisp*
650hp in a paperweight MR2. SHEEEEEEEESH
Its above an audi r8
god daymn this build is amazing
You are the best in the business!
That is what I call a beautiful machine. 👌
Best death box I’ve ever seen
Excellent review capturing the thrill of driving such a high-powered car.
Before even watching the video, those meaty tyres explain alot already. Fuckin insane.
Should've been the opposite if he wanted it to be insane (i could be wrong but that's what we did here)
We usually do k24A2 bottom from an RSX than k20z3 head on top
Costs a bit more indeed
You get better times on the drag with that usually but probably for the MR2 it didn't matter
Fastest mr2 is just a k20
King content.
That Guy real done a great job.
Love your enthusiasm!
Seemed like driver was havin clmx when the turbo kicks inn.. aweseomee🎉🎉😂😂
Monster car My Brother Dono.. keep it up Hermano❤❤
love from india and from die heart car guy
Those straight cut gears sound heavenly
These are not straight cut gears.
@@vvevvevvvv it could just be the fd, which is very common to whine when you change for k series boxes, but it does maybe sound like an m factory straight cut gearset. Not sure though
I miss the 3s😔I love the 3s
What a machine
k20 block with k24 head. That's unusual. usually its the other way around.
kyles mr2 is crazy
I daily one of these. Quite possibly the best handling car ive ever driven. Its very nippy considering i have the 180hp 3sge, im planning on eventually v6 swapping it.
So raw ! Awesome
Try to find Nissan Sunny GTi-R to review. The left hand drive ones are rare, under 700 were made iirc
Currently thinking about either getting an MR-2 or an 159 Alfa with the 3.2L V6, still need sometime to get the money together anyway
I think I like your Honda and tuned Honda reviews the best.
9:33.... Michael from "The Office":
- that's what she said 😂
thanks you for this, awesome car!
WOW, just wow!
What a great car...
The fuel tank in the frunk it’s such a great idea… I wonder why no one does the same 🤔
I don't see reason to have a radio in this car 🙂 engine sound is insane !
Holy Moly!!!
Boostedboiz Vibes , let s goo that chassi with a k20 it s crazy on streets even stock engine and turbo 🤷
That had a 3S-GE stock when it was original similar to my 1988 Toyota Celica GT which has a 3S-FE 2.0 inline 4 cylinder with 59K miles. And this insane MR2 id like to think of it as more of a Honda equivalent version of a S2000 and a Prelude combined
Kom op! Haha nice too hear some occasional dutch when they are frustrated😜
Thats a totally crazy car!😁
That would get me killed for sure....🤨
That shifter is awesome!
I can understand K-swapping some things but, the 3SGTE is a fantastic engine to begin with.
Was just scrolling through the comments hoping someone had some sense! Exactly this! The 3SGTE is a peach 👌
k is cheaper, more available aftermarket and more tuning options
this car had was NA with a 3SGE. which is not that special to be honest. a turbo K series is the perfect swap due to availability and power potential
No it’s not 😂
@@RoadsterAlex I think the guys over at Castrol TOM's would disagree with you there.
holy hell that thing is bonkers! I need one now lol
the K20 is such an amazing engine
That’s a fast car, wow.
"test performed by experienced driver"
the driver: i have driven this car for 10 mins
also the driver: * stalls the car *
honestly the interior feels clunky but i think the mods and performance make up for it
That's so fkn crazy overpowered, so beautyful from the engineering pov, and maan that shifter is awesome. Yeeeeaaahhhhhhh!!!

Honda power!
You guys are brave
Having non torn driver side is a flex
soooo much power! WOW!
Brutal sw20 Good video
I belive that its a k24 bottom end with a k20 head, just my 2 cent's. Nice review
I was saying that as well but he really said k24 head on k20 engine because it’s cheaper 😂

What body kit is on there?
Dude I’d go nuts if I got into bumper to bumper traffic with that thing
Saw it dragrace at Japfest last Monday! Such a sick car.
Japanese cars, there the best. 🗿
6.5 feet?! in the small car?! wow 🤯
This mr2 was also at Japfest TT Assen, sounded amazing when idling but whilst racing not so much haha
