Got paseo but need more power and i drove a mr2 import and loved it.

What is the best Mrk 2 Mr2 to go for?

What Group insurance?

Erm .. REv3 NA's were 174 bhp .. rev3 Turbo's are 245 (very conservative) ..

The NA is ins grp 16, the turbo is 19/20 ..

Best mods for power gain? Erm, stroker kit, big turbo and intercooler and a new ECU should see you get 700 bhp ..

REV 3 what does that mean?

hi mate visit this thread

a rev = revision. toyota revised the mr2 mk2 over the 10 or so years it was produced. the most noticable revision wa sin 1993 with rev 3. visit the link for full info!

Although on the NA side the Rev 3's had the higher BHP had higher BHP, the rev 1& 2's had higher torque (me and Sys G put it to the test and the rev 1 won every time...

If your looking for a Mk2 2 that will be cheaper to run while reemaining fun to drive would recommend a rev2 NA anytime as it had the uprated brakes and firmer suspension although you may wish to play with it a little :)

Cheers for the link. Most helpfull.

Rev 3 turbo would be nice but will prob opt for the rev2 NA as the insurance will be less of a a killer. Still be a big differance to my beloved paseo.

Hi Dangerous, I was a paseo owners too... I've got a Rev1 turbo... when first got the mr2, it was really quick and nearly "wet" myself...

But after few months of happy driving in my mr2, "I need more power".....

I then went back and drive the paseo for the very last time before I sell it.... my god, that paseo won't move no matter how hard I floor it......beware.....

You really should try starting the car before flooring it!!!! :P :D

Seriously though i totally understand what you mean about needing more power one u get used to the tubby....

Ask Fizz - he's exactly the same as well!!! i think its the norm with all tubby drivers :)

aye same here you get used to it after a while if you havnt driven round in a slower car once in a while. Me n fizz both gonna up the boost soon. need more power! :arrgg-matey:

[ZeroBlade]

not just with tuby's tho. it's the same with my n/a. Feels slow now, but as soon as i drive another car then get back in mine its nice and fast again :)
