Colin and I started planning our Hot August Nights Meet a couple days ago. Still need to finalize some of the plans.

I've heard the fuel pump on the MR2 Turbo is actually good up to something like 400hp...but I'm not sure.

Are you doing the work on the two yourself Viet???

o6spdracer · 07-22-2009, 01:54 PM

It is but you might as well change it while you are under there. It is 15-18 years old!

Mark_Dorman · 07-22-2009, 01:55 PM

that's a good point...but the fuel tank is a pain to drop...

MR2noobiii · 07-22-2009, 02:02 PM

well 06 i have been thinking but 400 is alot to go lol kinda dont have the cash for that lol i wish i did..... and what mark said i herd that the stock fuel system can hold up to 400. but i am not sure i have to do more research on that. as injectors i was thinking about 700 and i have a professional that tune my brother car so i might go him.

and ya mark i am working on it myself its going to be fun.......

MR2noobiii · 07-22-2009, 02:04 PM

06 you have a really good point if i did upgrade what should i upgrade it to?

o6spdracer · 07-22-2009, 02:07 PM

Supra TT Fuel Pump

masagsxr · 07-22-2009, 02:09 PM

^+1.... Work our ass off.... Daym...........

By the way, thinking of selling my track bike to get a street bike (Matt? Dorman? Abner?)

. I'll post some pix of everything that'll go with it.

MR2noobiii · 07-22-2009, 02:12 PM

ok i will look in to it.... and masagsxr how much?

masagsxr · 07-22-2009, 02:17 PM

o6spdracer · 07-22-2009, 02:28 PM

Viet, take a look at this thread: Fuel System Primer
Another plus with the Supra Fuel Pump is that it is a direct fit. You don't have to solder or crimp.
Here is a good resource if you are looking to do the work yourself: MR2ModProject The writeup on changing the fuel pump is great.

MR2noobiii · 07-22-2009, 02:28 PM

masagsxr the links are not working. idk if i get a bike then i will wait on upgrade

o6spdracer · 07-22-2009, 02:31 PM

Damn Mixxer! Not you too. Man its getting tempting to go and get another bike but everytime I seriously consider it, I hear a horror story to add onto my own horror stories and see a bunch of crazy psycho drivers.

MR2noobiii · 07-22-2009, 02:31 PM

fuel pump not to bad 100 bucks.

what happen to u 06?

masagsxr · 07-22-2009, 02:32 PM

Yeah all of a sudden yahoo is down.. so maybe try again in a bit. Main reason for selling is I have not been on a bike since my accident in 2005 and I'd be dumb to jump on the track right away. I still go a lot but to watch friends and help with the prep work. I'm itching to ride tho... So as the first step, I need to get a street bike again, get the feel of it and get the groove back on then hit the track again

True but we just need to adjust our habbits... Can't be too chill on the road on streetbike. I know a few cops who rides and they even tell me to ride as if someone is out there to run us over hahahahaa. Really surprising to hear it from them when you know you don't want to get a tix

Well, I was in pain but really did not "experience" the accident since I was knocked out as soon as I got hit. The funny thing with that is that, friends around me said I was responding ok with the paramedics heheheeh.... Anyway, I'm not worried about it and would hop back on again

MR2noobiii · 07-22-2009, 02:36 PM

witch bike are u selling?

o6spdracer · 07-22-2009, 02:39 PM

THE GROoOVE! Mixxer, you never lost your groove! hahaha.

Nothing serious ever happened to me...knock on wood, just had to lay down once to avoid a potentially devastaing accident. A family friend lost all of his limbs and someone openned their car door at a traffic light and killed another friend are the more serious ones. But a lot of other injuries, not because they were irresponsible riders, just drivers (for the most part) can't drive worth a damn. Plus traffic and road rage play huge factors when it comes to our safety.
