This is it. One of my favorite imports I've ever reviewed. This is a 750HP SW20 Toyota MR2 using a built factory turbo motor and it's unreal. Most extremely fast Toyota Mr2's are now typically K swap Mr2's and they are mind blowing. However, this proves to me otherwise it is totally possible to make these cars incredibly fast without having to swap a K motor. Going more in depth, Andy the owner of the car has had this car a very long time and has had an awesome story behind it. Thanks for watching!

One of my favorite cars I’ve driven in a long time!
What did you think of this beast?!
ThatDudeinBlue sickening. Car is beautiful with the performance to back it up. I’ve always loved me an sw20, but this is on another level
Such a sick car. the ride along footage doesnt do it justice.
That's a dope mr2, also I sent you an email for a review! If you're still in Florida I think you pass by me in your way back to Atlanta
Mmm yes please.
Glad you enjoyed it! You'll have to do a video with my Barracuda Project Car once it is done. Was awesome filming with you!
I love that his build is unique and "brand loyal" by sticking to a Toyota engine. All around a beautiful car so mad probs
Thanks man
@@AndyHilins Got a 91 back in 2010. Flew out to Atlanta & drove back to denver. Love this car, awesome job ya did on it. Rightness mines on jackstands in the garage. Has been sitting for 11yrs. Several cars, trucks, and 1 semi has Givin me 4 back & neck surgeries. Hopefully getting back on the wrenches in next yr or 2. What do you think would be a good/reliable hp goal for the gen2 3sgte? Want to hit 300 and have ~$10k invested in it already. Internals, ecu, valvetrain, lsd tranny/need the inside cv axles 4 it, turbonetics(forget the model, but think I went wrong with that-ceramic bb on comp side & journal hot side. Liked the looks but think i should have gotten a precision or similar. Mistake, any opinion on the turbonetics?), have 2 options with suspension- adjustable shock inserts 4 macpherson struts and a set of coilovers, and oz wheels. Also think I should have gone single springs 4 the valves. Got supertech duals & will have to grind down the seat area. But forged pistons & con-rods, acl bearings, arp hardware, etc. Still need head work for the oversized valves, solid liferts, & want a solid/no cheap $hit exhaust header instead of stock, fuel rail/injectors, maybe intake mani. Any opinions on the dual valve spring/turbo/my parts list/&HP goal? Long one I know, but trying to get back into my 2. Had memory probs from a brain injury- doc f-cked me up with meds. Any help appreciated, awesome build. Hoping to get it done in the next 2-4yrs. Thanks.
I love that he kept the 3sgte instead of going k-series. The 3s doesn't get the love it deserves anymore. And Arron and the guys at ATS know their stuff!
@crutksdub yeah, I'm old school I guess. 😁
It's not a 3sgte. It's a 5sgte, part 3sgte and part 5sfe lol
@crutksdub I'm not. That's what it's actually called. It uses a 5sfe block(I'd assume his is a 1998+), and a 3sgte head. It's a 2.3L, 3sgte is a 2.0L and the 5sfe is a 2.2L lol
All the Supras in JGTC ran a 3S-GT engine. It's Toyota's best engine.
@VK 😂 😂
you used the clip of me next to you at the light! i thought you were gonna leave that out. That was the first time seeing your reaction of me taking off, haha! Sick review, Andy's car is by far my favorite MR2 ive ever seen. and STUPID fast.
I wish we had a video of that damn race LOL
@@AndyHilins we will get one. im sure of it lol
Andy Hilins is it a 3s or 5s block?
Terminator-swapped Fox? Never seen that one before. Like it.
the car gave me goosebumps in the intro! thing looks so nice
Old Japanese sports cars are the best
Ya think
Old... dude... she's offended!!! She's in her 20's man wtf, this is a young lady we are talking about here. Look at those shapes mmmhh.
@@so2fast4u2 uh... I think you got the wrong comment lmao
@@bagueteexd1383 lol I think what he is saying is that this car isn’t “old”. It’s only 20ish years old. That isn’t old in the grand scheme of things. I suppose it depends how old you are. Lol.
@@bagueteexd1383 Nah it’s the right one, she’s got great lines and she’s barely 20, not old by any means.
I really like the blue on that MR2
Thanks man, it is Subaru world rally blue
Andy Hilins yooooooooooooo❤️❤️❤️
BASITH PH damn it’s getting goodies from all over I think even Subaru was in on this project😂😂😂😂
Andy Hilins dude your MR2 is awesome
Right ? looks real nice, definetly suits it.
Honored to call Andy a good friend. One of the coolest cars I've ever seen, easily the coolest car I've ever been in. So stoked on this video.
Time for the MR2 prices to go up... Thanks David.
Get them when you can!
Pretty sure SW20s have already been going up. I know how you feel though.
From one video? Lol.
in general they are starting to go up, especially fully stock original ones.
I was lucky and just got myself one of the cheaper ones, needs a little work but i am more than happy with it so far!
Seriously one of my favorite videos you've done! You gotta come back up to VA someday.
I don't understand how they went from this beautifully sleek design to the monstrosity that followed.
All Toyota’s lost their style around that time. The Celica kinda retained a bit of uniqueness, but was also ricey at the same time
Mk2 to Mk3...
Almost like the Toyota MR2 went from the poor man's Ferrari...to the poor man's Porsche.
MR2 Mk2 looked soooooooo good.
One of the best built MR2’s I’ve seen. Such a great setup for what it was built for. By the looking forward to the huge milestone of 1 million subscribers. Been following for so long
Zach Plymale thank you sir

Beautiful MR2! Looking forward to the reviews this month!
The glam & driving shots, inc. panning & effects, are spectacular, David!
I've had 2 of those.. One stock and one built. Just like the Supra, it's a dream car! Had my vettes and stangs and love them but my wife and I have a soft spot for these Mister 2's!
Im happ to see that someone finallt took the time to mod the 3sgte instead of jus swapping the motor out... WELL DONE!!!
If I ever get the chance to build an MR2 with just half the power of this one, I'd die happy.
u can build mine, just dont die ;D
@@FSXairpilot Will do bossman
I've been watching a lot of mr2 videos and thought youtube just recommended me another one, but nope it's an even better video!
It shows in the way you presented this review that you truly loved driving that MR2. Got the notification, love from the UK.
So glad your back to reviews of cool cars.
You don’t know how happy I am that you picked this song 💙
David i love your videos you make it so we stay as car guys your reviews are the best I’ve ever seen on TH-cam keep it up!!!
Those are the most gentle 750 buff horses I've ever seen
Right? Lol I was thinking the same thing
Maybe Toyota should have teamed up with Honda to make the new Supra 🤔
Or they should have gone with BMW to get a good straight 6.
Alex Strömberg ??
Actually a straight six, k series based engine would be sick.
No... should be a 2,2 liter Audi 5 sylinder😍
Nope for almost 20 years of waiting they should have worked with yamaha as usual and only use the chassis setting of BMW trust me on this
Just get one! :D
I think its crazy how these MR2s are popping up all over youtube. This car is awesome and its great that it has the toyota engine it came with. If I had one in that Blue, Id make a mecha sonic livery for it! As always great videos bro, ive been a follower for years. Keep it up bro.
Really dig all the shows but the reviews are probably my favorite of all the different cars much love keep up all the hard work
Soooo sick. I love this car. Id be happy if one day my 85 Mr2 mk1 will be on half this level...so awesome 😆 sick video tho man, good stuff as always 🤘👌
That is one awesome MR2 right there
Done right
Thank you sir!
Andy Hilins no problem bro
Hey David, David here. Lol. Why haven't you hit 1,000,000 subs yet. It seems unfair because you definitely deserve it and much more. Your content is amazing and you seem like a genuine person. Much love from Bakersfield.
Damn I miss these reviews, I know this is gonna be a LIT video! 🔥
Beautiful, I really despise the k swapped MR2's, kinda sad that its gone from nimble corner to straight line fast though I can see it being changed easily back to track mode with a different allignment setup and swap the wheels and tires for the track, so I can get over it.
First love the videos man this one gonna be good i know it
Loving the throwback review style, David!
4:13 I appreciate you plugging fortune auto especially back from the IS300 review. Your testimony convinced me to purchase them. Even though they’re pricey I’m so glad I got them. Daily driven for well over a year including 4 500 mile road trips from DC to Boston and I have no complaints on comfort and don’t feel like I’m sacrificing anything on backroads
LOVE IT! Only car I've ever regretted selling was an SW20 MR2
Same but I already owned my replacement mr2 at the time I sold it
You can never have enough mr2s
7:07 "Giving it the beans" on a turbo MR2. Perfect Sarah-n-Tuned reference.
Can't wait for all the reviews this month🔥
That exhaust clip at the beginning !!
Love the way it sounds 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
Notification worked fine for me
GOALS ! Lightweight car + crazy power
I wish I could do what you do. Reviewing all these beautiful and powerful machines, not only is it a Dream come true but it is truely a blessing...my communication skills absolutely suck though haha !!!
God i have never stopped watching this review since it posted. I love the MR2. Its almost time to be able to get one of my own.
Pop up up and down headlights!!
man, that car is so good looking
Thank you!
A wild owner has appeared!
It looks tame, ride in it and youll have something different to say..
It hooks up well and is so well behaved it makes driving it look easy
K series in a MR2? That’s the best of both worlds!! We all love Honda’s K series and I’m definitely a fan of that generation of Toyota’s MR2! Nice review David 👍🏽
I miss my god damn mr2 so much. Mr2 love, good to see it on the channel 🙌🏼👍🏼
wow coolest mr2 ive ever seen. looks like a blast to drive
Zack Enkin it is very fun
That’s definitely one of the best mr2’s I have ever seen 😍😍😍😍😍
Thank you!
Andy Hilins Very welcome 🔥
That intro was beautifully done! And that MR2 is quick stupidly fast 😭
Always have been a fan of the MR2, great build, sounds amazing!
That title's misleading. For a second I thought this man was taking living on the edge to extreme levels running 750hp on a stock motor
Exactly... clickbait
Yeah, I was like why in fuck would you do that only to blow the thing up.
Yeah I don't know much about mr2s so I was surprised that they can handle all that power. Very misleading
you would never, ever get 750hp from a stock 3SGTE lol.
Well it’s not a K series that’s why
I wish more people would just tune the motor instead of running to K swap, I luv everything about the sw20’s
The k20 is a great engine for the mr2. It's lighter and makes more power than a 3sgte/5hybrid. But I love engine swaps, the iron block 3/5sgte people make are cool. I think it's easier just to appreciate all mr2s. My favorite are v6 swaps personally.
The fastest K20 MR2 right now is still slower than the fastest Toyota S Series MR2. The stock motor has plenty of potential but people are simply more familiar with tuning Honda engines so they stick to using them then realizing the potential this 2/3 Iron 2JZ actually holds.
Not saying the K is bad, but I can't justifiably say it's necessary either, nor the amount of power beyond what this guy has got either, which Toyota's S Series have definitely been able to exceed.
Hunter Altman swaps are great for cars that don’t have much potential or no after market resources and unreliable engines in this case K swaps are not necessary the SW20 can make big power plus it’s a proven motor it just doesn’t have as many aftermarket resources as a 2jz or k series but that’s where ATS racing shine because they have proven that that motor is a monster and they have the parts and receipts to prove it, plus your able to stand out because you know everyone else will have a k swap do you want to be another copy cat just saying
Sergio Aguirre I never said the SW20 is a better engine I was just saying it is a good engine that could make the same or similar power as the k series and the K series should be better it’s a lot newer than the SW20, also I was saying you don’t have to run to do a k swap to make big power there is a small market for parts for the SW20 but the parts and knowledge is available I wasn’t trying to bash the K series I’m a fan of them but hate when everyone fallows the same trend
Sergio Aguirre I know that SW2O isn’t the engine model I said it because everyone refers to this car as the SW20
Finally someone reviewing a toyota powered mr2! Looks very well sorted. Thw kpowered ones are cool to, but this is how it should be!
Thats wildd man! I just found a black mr2 and im starting to get obsessed with it. Im a broke teen in need of a race carr. Just had a job interview too so hopefullyy i get the job and also that mr2 in a bit. Love the vids man!
Dang I wish my car sounded like that
" 750 rear rear horsepower "
- David Paterson
Mad respect to the guy who beautifully built this Turbo Toyota MR2🤘 Awesome Review👍
Thanks man
Perfect execution. That smooth tune and proper build quality is an example for every street car to aspire to. If this mr2 was a guitar amp, it would go to 11.
8:38 oh look a foxbody lx notch nice👍
Keep an eye out for the review of it ;)
Its great to see more high hp 3sgte, but they are known to crack blocks above 400whp.
Which is why you use a 5S block!
5S-GTE
98+ Camry block to be exact
That flyby was crazy. I just giggled like a little kid seeing that. Awesome MR2
I love everything about that MR2.
Also funny that I watched Mr Regular’s MR2 review the other day lol
Thank God it's not another k series swap I've been waiting for a original 3sgte vid of a mr2😁sounds better than a k WAAAAAYYYYY BBBBEEETTTTTERR! 🤤
K > 3sgte
Import Car Guy u really don’t like the 3s’s dang. It’s not that serious.
@@edumacted I didn't like 3s but at least I respect them.
If toyota made a new MR2 theyd find a reason to make it FWD
Like the Mitsubishi Eclipse being a crossover
MR2 is much better with RWD
Said from a FWD guy
Nissan made the eclipse an SUV. The "M" in MR2 stands for "Midship" so the engine placement is locked in.
@@ChroniclesofKToyoda isn't the MR2 stands for "Mid Engine Rear Wheel Drive 2 Seater" isn't it?
@@riyuiwashere That's what a lot of people including some owners think, but as an owner myself it stands for Midship Runabout for Two. The R in Honda CRV also stands for Runabout too.
Mr2s rule. Also, I just subbed, and am curious as to when you'll be doing the next rating subscribers cars. I'm dying to send pics of mine in!
Wow great reviews David keep it up great mr2
What is a good first car?
A cheep midd engine car that not only make insurance company take everything you have.
But might also actually try to kill you.
The Swedish winter would probably never be as horribly exciting as it would be with one of those.
Stupid snapback oversteer hoax, drive my sw20 daily. Never had the problem, just dont be stupid in the rain!
True. My current setup actually *understeers* in the rain which was frightening upon discovering that.
Carlo's Garage rip
Same as Carlo, I own an MR2 Turbo too and due to me having a staggered wheel / tyre setup, I actually am on the understeering side of things in the rain, so I'm not too scared of driving anywhere with my car, anytime.
Carlo's Garage wider tires will fix everything
@@connoisseuroftigolbitts According to my friend, my car understeers a bit because my rear tyres are too fat. Currently I have the following wheel setup:
17 x 8j 225/40/R17
17 x 9j 245/40/R17
I like how it handles though, very predictable.
MR2s are amazing cars. Some of my best car memories are from AW11 and SW20 MR2s in the back woods of NH. They are just fun cars and the drag set up is a unique take on the MR2 that are normally set up and either show cars or autocross/track day toys.
Love your reviews, I'd only recommend using a gopro or action cam to get a speedometer view, IMO it's one of the best ways to show how fast a car is pulling.
for a sec i thought it actually had a standard engine 🤔
Alex Thompson it does... if ats racing built it, it’s a 3sgte/5sgte(5sfe block,3sgte head), both of which are the oem engines from sw20 mr2’s and 5th/6th gen celicas
Heheheheheh got it right then cause that’s exactly what it is😂😂😂😂
Snap oversteer is the opposite of what you described. It's not from hitting the brakes mid corner, its from lifting off the throttle which transfers the balance from rear to front. Not trying to be pedantic but what you said is totally wrong and could get someone hurt.
Isnt that liftoff oversteer?
@@Nicktheblasian They're the same thing
Back in The day Toyota did a recall to install modifications and a wider tire set up to prevent snap oversteer
@@connoisseuroftigolbitts I've never heard of this recall. They did a revision on '93+ suspension and gave it slightly larger wheels. wilhelmraceworks.com/suspension-analysis-links
@@Justpassingb1 Does the car come back in line letting off throttle. I wonder if it's better just to let the spin happen once it begins. Haven't spun mine yet. 17 years ago I was spinning my old one all over the place. Theory crafting here. Taking it to the track to test out my thoughts with someone more experienced than me though
I owned a 91 MR2 Turbo when I was stationed in Japan back in 2004 and ever since I've been chasing the feeling again so I'm praying to god that Toyota brings back an MR2 that is just like the 2nd Gen MR2 but in an improved.
My love for the MR2 is new again, with this one. Always wanted one.
A new MR2 would just be a collaboration with another company... Probably Also Romeo, as they've collaborated with other other axis powers
They already have a relationship with Lotus and the MR2 has Lotus roots with Roger Becker. I wouldn't mind an Alpine A110 partnership for a partnership. Hell, make it a badge engineering project for all I care, but get it to America with some service and parts options.
I was thinking an Alfa 4C rebadging project, but that does actually sound really cool
@@jinxtacy Lotus was friends with Toyota at the time and showcased a few chassis to Toyota, but Lotus had no part in making the MR2. Toyota came to the idea of that car on their own, plus they bult record setting MR race machines prior. Although Lotus did however contribute to the suspension of the Supra.
Snap oversteer is driver error.
100%
@Nathan Thalhuber yea but this car makes it more easy to do this mistake so this car is damn dangerous when not driven properly
GET GUD
@@hunteraltman4762 you are right m8
SO fuckin happy to see a fellow 2 owner keep the 3SGTE and build it to silly levels.
Love the power, don’t love the loss of boot space or that lack of handling but can’t argue with the quality of the tune. You can hear it’s legit 👌🏽 ATS seem to be shit hot!
I love the MR2. My little stepbrother bought one and when I test drove it I completely fell in love. I'm a 6 foot fat guy and had no problems fitting in the car. quite comfortable actually.
I’ve always said k swapping an mr2 was a waste... the 3sgte/5sgte is an incredibly capable engine. Toyota wouldn’t have used it for rally and even their gt2 supra from forever ago
I see mr2s with toasted motors though so maybe that is why people kswap, also ks are really common.
sed8181 yea because not many people go the right route and actually tune them. They just slap a bigger turbo on, crank the boost and pray it holds together... note that all the motors ats racing builds make reliable power, and a lot of it, just like this one. That’s because they use the right stuff, and they tune it properly
Matt L not a waste when stock block can handle 600hp reliably
WHISKEY TANGO FOXTROT for the amount of money required to purchase the motor, swap it in, wire it up, then turbo it, you could be making more than that on the stock engine
Honda ftw kid
I'd like to 3sgte swap the trunk of a honda del sol
3sgte are weak
@@riyuiwashere not if you use a 5s block
@@amgvlogs5087 5sgte?
@@amgvlogs5087 show me the 3sgte making 1000 hp then
@@riyuiwashere 600hp in a del Sol is plenty fast to beat anything on the street. Power to weight ratio. And it's funny you had to go all they way to 1000 hp to prove an argument. There are plenty of other engines that can't do that, doesn't make them all weak.
Nice video. Car looks good with the paint color and the wheels.

Andy Hilins word brotha
K20 is much better than 3sgte/5sgte K20 will destroy these weak engines
And also K Series has more aftermarket support than 3s/5sgte no hatin.
Destroy all the k swaps, toyota power for the win :) 5sgte :)
K is more powerful the 5sgte show me a 5sgte make 1000 hp
U wish
Can't show you an 1000hp 3s but theres an 1100hp if you search youtube
its a 3sgte no 5s and no kswaps ftw
@@mikitosmr2 ok I see it already
Hey I have a mk1 Mr2 with a gen 4 3sgte in it. These cars are tons of fun and there’s SO MUCH aftermarket support for them. You would absolutely not regret buying one
The turbo sounds alone had me in love
It has that perfectly modded appeal and love the tire setup. I'd love to learn to drive tires like that in everything accept the ice and snow.
I always thought of that Gen MR2 as the "Regular Person's " Ferrari or Lamborghini if they are set up right and that one definitely is!! Love it
Man I love MR-2's! Definitely going to be the next car I build on my channel.
Freaking awesome mr2 so good to see people making the factory motor work as good as that does
Nothing better than seeing work done to make power by using the same manufacturers engines - rather than swapping what works from other manufacturers.
Only wish Toyota thought that with the new "Supra".
9:30 VTEC is just something special
just got me an mr2 too so great video for me
This is so sick, i love the fact that it’s a Toyota motor not a k20 😂😂 it’s also sounds amazing too, and David if you read this we still need to review my turbo Camry 😂in Florida I’m currently rebuilding it going forge internals and a big borgwarner s300 😈
Glad your loving the 3sgte life , they are so underrated when compared to the 4g63 / ej20 builds . As always if your ever planning on heading down under theres a 600 odd hp gt4 group a ( more traction, more brakes and it can go around a corner ! Shock ! ) on offer that you might find fun to review !
So how long till we see you buy a mister 2 then ?
Sick mr2 david!
