You could use the turbo from that kit but I'm pritty sure that the exhaust manifold would mount the turbo in the wrong spot in your mr2.

You would still need a wastegate. BOV, different injectors, upgrade the fuel pump, another way of controlling fueling, all the intake and exhaust pipes, intercooler, some type of boost controller, and some other items.

Yes the z's pistons are forged plus heat coated..

Kevin mr2 1985 · 04-01-2008, 10:38 PM

wow okay so if i got a 4agze motor would i be all set or what would i need then if i added the turbo instead of the supercharger.

Still would need a turbo,a manifold to mount it on, wastegate if the turbo does not have on internal, bigger injectors, different intake don't know for sure if you would want to use the stock one maybe a small port intake would be better, Intercooler a2a or w2a, BOV, all the intake and exhaust piping, a way of controlling fueling, bigger fuel pump, oiling and drain hosing for the turbo. All the 4agze is doing is giving you a better foundation that will support and survive under a boosted condition.

DarylP · 04-01-2008, 11:02 PM

Check the threads about running twincharged. And run both the supercharger and a turbo..

Kevin mr2 1985 · 04-02-2008, 12:03 AM

yah i saw that but that i hear is very dangerous and hard

unbalancedwood · 04-09-2008, 09:46 AM

Still learning about the mr2, but this looks like a start...?

Brent, on the other board ran his stock GZE block at 15 psi and made 235 whp on mega squirt and Supra 440cc injectors. The stock rods are much stronger than people think. I'm running a stock block at 15 psi and have had no issues with it, except for a piston I damaged by not double checking things and trusting other poeple's work.

+1 Ive always heard the 88+ 4ag(z)e rods would stand about 250whp or more if you have them tested and cleaned and soo forth.

krazy2 · 04-13-2008, 10:52 PM

The kit your looking at, if I am not mistaken, one of the guys here bought one and said it would'nt work on a MR2 because the manifold was too close to rear wall (inch are so too far back) I guess you could beat the wall back but wouldnt do that myself.

They'll handle a lot more than that, Ben Z over in Australia has that 10sec 1/4 mile MK1 and at one point he was making well over 300whp with a completely stock bottom end. From what I've seen and experienced the weak point are the pistons if you don't have propper intercooling and A/F control.

sp3Ed · 06-07-2008, 12:34 PM

ull have to cut and weld the manifold to fit it

mr2tim · 07-06-2008, 03:47 PM

Washington huh? State or capital?

I've got a S/C donor engine here in South Florida.

I can pull the 8:1 pistons and the forged connecting rods and caps for ya?

Interested?

krazy2 · 07-06-2008, 08:36 PM

Would you have a good s/c block with squirters?

mr2tim · 07-07-2008, 11:35 AM

I bought a block soas to get a 4a-gze crankshaft.

I still have the s/c block, pistons and conrods.(forged)

Might be able to ship this heavy mother to you via trucking?

I'm located in extreme South Florida by Ft Lauderdale.

Hurricane Country.

what kind of budget you working with?

I'm building up a motor and didn't want to tear mine down. Need the block to set it all up and swap out motors. Do you know what shipping would be for block to (business) 35126? What would be a fair price to you for part?

mr2tim · 07-08-2008, 03:02 PM

Boy, that was an education in shippping costs.

I'm guessing the block w/o crank goes 175lbs max and would containerize at 30"x18"x20"

UPS wanted 202.00 for the South Florida to Birmingham, Al

R.L.Trucking (Gator here) 195.00+72 gas=267.00

Looks like shipping heavy is really costly.

Perhaps sending pistons and con rods would be cost-effective? Whatta think?

Tim
