Im trying to put my new coil on and it looks like it has less grounds then the one I'm taking out. Any one have a picture? The coil in mine grounds on the body, that rubber part that holds the coolant pipe (Where that caution hot! cap is) and on a screw thats by the little hook you use to lift the engine.
Its a 88 N/A.
>>14045812
The new coil only has two wires that are grounds.
In the middle of reading OverRev. Didn't realize how alpha MR2s really are.

Don't do drugs kids
>>14046902
Thanks lol!
So that wire that going from the coil to the ignitor thats a ground wire right? Why were mine grounded to the body of the car?
>>14047498
both of mine went into the "ignitor"

Straight in your mom's vagina
Wreck that shit
>>14047536
Cool does your MR2 have A/C? I'll put mine into the ignitor too. Also under the ignitor there looks like a little black fuse? or relay under it. I dont know what that is.
>>14045812
That hardtop AW11 is fucking glorious
>>14047694
>my hardtop
anyone have a link to the overdrive movie with english subs or less preferably dubs?
>>14047726
Are they as rare out where you live anon? Finding a hardtop over would make me overlook a clean sw20
>>14047694
Thanks anon! Unhooking those green connector things on the coils is a night mare btw. Mine have all this rubber like black stuff all around. I gotta unhook this one by the firewall tomorrow.

>>14047614
it had AC once upon a time, its stripped out rally car now. (whcih is why its still full of dirt from the weekend)
>>14047747
id say hardtops where i am are 50/50. though theyre more common than t-tops or sunroofs, sorta 50/20/30 (Hardtop/t-top/sunroof)
>>14047781
Is the supercharged version way different? Not just bolt on kit? Would engine swap suffice?
>>14047792
if you want to supercharge you could on the stock engine. id advise getting a modern supercharger though as i have told people before the SC12 and SC14 superchargers are old, non-refurbishable without specialist bearings (that toyota refuse to supply people, toyota also refuse to allow the original supercharger manufacturer to supply rebuild kits)
The SC engine has lower compression ratio, forged pistons and considerably stronger conrods. It could take alot more boost than it does factory (and more boost than a stock 4age) however its gimped by the SC12 being undersized. you cant spin the SC fast enough to make good boost without
A) Intake temps going through the roof
B)Melting the teflon coating off the rotors
C) grenading the supercharger itself.
using an NA Intake manifold is also better as the SC manifold has some hard bends in it that can be pretty detrimental to airflow, its a minor performance increase, but it is one.
Bolt on kit to an NA engine would give you a mild HP increase, however buying an SC engine and converting to a modern SC or turbo conversion (very popular with modern turbos) would be ideal.
Then again 3SGTE swaps are also very common and several people are paving the way for putting 1NZFE engines in them.
>>14047781
Thanks for the info! I'm tired so I'll update you guys tomorrow. Hopefully the car will have power under load.
>>14047847
Sounds like a whole lot of fabrication to get that shit running, maybe better off staying NA since daily driver and whatnot
Replaced my exhaust manifold with a new one today. All new gaskets and hardware.
Replaced my muffler about a month back with a new one.
And my '85 -still- makes a metallic vibrating / buzzing noise at about 40% throttle above about 3400 RPM. Gonna try vise griping different exhaust pipe heat shields soon and see if that helps.
>>14047908
sure its not your tvis kicking in?
>>14047747
rareish here (aus)
mostly t tops or sunroofs.
>>14047864
Fitting an SC to a stock engine is not actually that hard, The only thing i am unsure of is if the stock ECU can handle this (research it)
Things you need
>new accessory belt to power supercharger
>mounts made for the supercharger of your choice
>pipes
>intercooler
>supercharger
Pretty much done. The advantage of a supercharger is that you dont need a fancy intake or exhaust manifold, you can just run the standard manifolds so long as you can get pipes to everything.
Also bear in mind the stock NA injectors dont like to go over 110hp they can be pushed up to about 130 before you just run out of volume
(you could look for a set of 4AGZE injectors, good to up to 240hp but if youre aiming for 240hp youre better off with a whole 4AGZE engine because you will need the forged pistons and conrods)
>>14047959
T-VIS kicks it at 4200 RPM and I can hear the engine change tones when it does.
The noise I'm talking about sounds more like thin metal vibrating against other metal parts; a very metallic buzz.

>1NZFE
Why? It makes less power and weighs barely less. Is it the fuel savings?
>>14050817
It makes the same power and weighs a lot less and gets better mpg
>>14050826
>110hp = 128hp
>>14050829
Have you seen what people do to 4ages to make and extra 10hp?
>>14050873
What and a low compression NZ is going to respond so well to modification?
>>14050877
Whoops, I miss-read that, I thought the 1NZ made more power and was saying that the swap would be more cost effective than building a 4age. Although now I see your point, I guess the only advantage would be tunability and fuel savings
>>14050829
US 4age is 112hp
Rained out today guys! Im having issues trying to get the top connector off by the fire wall. Its the smaller green one.
>>14048040
Did some more digging around. Heat shield on the exhaust pipe might be the issue. Gonna get some hose clamps for it and see if that fixes it.
>>14045812
Am I allowed to join op
>>14052252
the heat shield on my mk 2 is missing all but one of its fixings too, its also missing all of the fixings holding the plastic covers inside the frunk - who just doesnt bother putting bolts back? some people are real dicks
>>14052274
nope go die queer

but...

OP here. Yes you can join!
sometimes I just wanna fit in.
but I don't

Im this anon btw xD

Don't have much to add to the discussion, but here's a picture of my cutie I just took
hi hello
>>14054281
hello, what a nice little car you have there
>want mr2 as first car
>it's probably impossible project car
>>14054197
Unless you're in the illinois area you're out of luck.
I want an Mr2 or an older corolla wagon soooo bad. But this sr5 is so god damn dependable. So many new parts on it right now.
>>14054306
Not really, AW11s are just backwards corollas, and SW20s are still as reliable as any toyota. They're not supercars
>>14054338
It's 30 years old, it's probably ducked
>>14054334

Toyotas last forever mate
>>14054366
God no. I hate the ae92 trueno front ends.
>>14054398
if you're that young. Don't do it.
Especially an MR2.
>>14054382
I hate you
>>14054408
why
>>14054398
lol whut
>>14054412
14 year old trying to maintain an mr2 in driving condition. Sounds like a great plan.
What is, oil seals.
>>14054418
What
>>14054427
If he's going for an AW11 MR2. Yea he's gonna find seals going bad just about everywhere. Sure toyotas last forever. But eventually something goes wrong. Maybe he gets lucky and it last him half a year of perfect driving before he runs into an issue.
>>14054334
I'm in PA dude. Filly-fag
>>14054398
MODS! UNDERAGE!
>>14054438
How expensive to fix
>>14050817
Weight I believe, it also has several easy mods (remove emissions controls) that boost HP.

>>14054367
are those double staggered wheels?
>>14047548
Ah yes, the meme spouted by shitty drivers
>>14056094
yeah thats a meme, but understeer is 100% correct
obviously
>>14056194
"snap oversteer" just means "my driving is as smooth as a cat's tongue"
"understeer" just means "I come in too hot for corners or accelerate in my FF shitbox while turning because I'm a tard"
