seeking more power

live4boost · 03-06-2007, 10:29 AM

im new to the forum, i recently got my 91 na mr2 and i absolutely love the car. but its a little on the slow side, i was just wondering if anyone could help me out and tell me some easy/cheap power adders or sites where i could find some parts for my 5s-fe just to make a little more beefy until i can save enough money for the turbo swap. thanks guys

Hey I have that turbo in my pinto!

The best would just be the same as any other person would suggest...exhaust, intake, headers, and a suspension upgrade. I say just wait and get a swap.

live4boost · 03-06-2007, 12:16 PM

yea, probly what im going to do. if anyone else reads this and has some suggestions or sites to check out let me know, i'd like to find parts to make my N/A motor quick till i can get the turbo.

headers cams, and a couple other things are about the only mods you can do.

live4boost · 03-06-2007, 10:19 PM

yea i know about what i could do, just unsucessful in finding parts for the N/A motor.

TomsMR2 · 03-06-2007, 11:10 PM

what are you looking for?

live4boost · 03-06-2007, 11:22 PM

anything really, just cheap power adders to screw around with till i get the turbo motor. all the sites i find has tons of mods for the 3s-gte but i cant find anything other than the headers someone posted for the NA engine. guess im really looking for the sites where i could get the parts. im still kinda a noob in the car world as far as engine work and stuff goes. i've loved MR2's since i was like 13 and 5 1/2 years later i got myself one. i know mostly all i could do is full exhaust, cams, fuel stuff and such. so like any specific suggestions to parts from sites would be nice because i cant find anything for my 5s-fe. thanks.

also what is the V6 people are putting in them? and how much does that cost/how hard is it. thats another option i wouldnt mind looking into.

if you want a turbo motor, buy a turbo motor. spending money to save money doesnt work.
