Im a fan of all motor,turbo and supercharged mr2's ive had them all,My 6th and current mr2 is a 91 na,even though there's not allot of power and soon gets boring its not bad stock,from a start you get a 2.2liter which is not bad and somewhat big for a 4 cylinder engine,it gives you that low end torque advantage that people with 1.5,1.6,1.7,1.8,1.9,2.0,2.1 liter motor people just don't have,all you need is some good cams,and a good head porting and your on your way to a good start,people are always hating on the 5sfe being turboed because it has week rods,bad valve angle,what ever, or 3sgte is more reliable to handle turbo form than the 5sfe.Any motor has potential especially a reliable toyota engine.
It would be great if the 5sfe motor had a little more support in the aftermarket world like a 2.4-2.5 stroker kit from a good company or a aftermarket head with better flow and aggressive cams package,or better yet a package that converts the 5sfe to vvt-li instead of fix timing.last but not least i wish they TRD made a carb legal supercharger for the 5sfe that would be real sick!!!! especially combine with a stroker kit! it would steal sales away from the 3sgte.
