465 Bhp Mr2 Gt Turbo

[EarL]

My 465bhp MR2 is for sale...

I've owned the car for several years now, and as some 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.

The car is presently utilising a single Walbro fuel pump, Wolfkatz fuel rail and 1000cc injectors. It has recently been fitted with a 4 bar map sensor to allow boost levels of beyond 2 bar, but for higher levels than 1 bar to be reached, a second fuel pump and swirl pot need to be fitted. With this system, 2.2 bar of boost is a reality. This should see the motor make well over 600+ bhp on C16 race fuel.

Current power output:

465 fwhp @ 7200

360 ft/lb @ 5200

Both the figures above were at just 1 bar of boost (on Tesco 99 octane fuel).

At this stage, the car has performed the following on the 1/4 mile:

Officially recorded: 12.44 @ 111

Unofficial unrecorded: 11.96 @121

Both the above times were performed using Toyo T1-R road tyres deflated to 10psi.

The car is definately 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..."

£11K, or a part exchange with a 1998+ Honda Intagra DC2 (plus cash).

PM me for details.

If I could get insured on this car I would take it off you right away at that price but unfortunatly Insurance companies would just laugh at me after I list all them modifications!!!

I remember following your thread on that other site (IMOC wasnt it??) that was like a diary of the build and realy enjoyed it :)

I noticed its been removed from eBay, has it been sold now? I still cant beleive that your selling it, its only been on the road for a few months after having all that work done hasnt it?? :)

--edit--

forgot to ask, do you have any videos of the car?
