I myself am looking for the greytop cause first it looks good (i love the colour scheme especially to go in my engine bay) and second they seem to be more abundant and hopefully easier to get one here in the UK.
So anyone that can shed some light please go ahead and also anyone that knows where I can get a beams (i dont mind shipping really?) then please do say where.
And just to make everything a little more complicated; Has anyone tried fitting the blacktop injectors to the redtop as well as the valves?  |
It really is as simple as getting a red-top ECU and Headers. The rest of the stuff you'll need to get any color BEAMS into a MR2. My problem with getting a Graytop is simply the ECU, It is very hard to find a Redtop ECU here in the states. It will probably cost me another 1k to get a Redtop ECU and another 1K to get headers. So thats 2k to get it to Redtop specs and past. Added to a cost of 2K for the initial cost we are talking 4k for 170whp? Not worth it at all. So now im debating on getting a gen3 3SGE i can get one for $800 with headers already. And ill probably get the same whp as a stock BEAMS. But i really do like the BEAMS, i dont know anymore
