Check This MR2 out - how do i get mine to sound like that.

Post by Pete_MR2 »

Im loving the sound of this MR2 - what mods would i need in order for mine to sound like it?

Ive got a downpipe, dual exhaust etc etc but this one sounds like a jet when the turbo hits...

big bank balance or cheat other mr2 owners out of there money and buy all the gear (exactly what that bloke did aparently)....


ps, im talking about the smg one, its owned by someone on here, who recently had it rebuilt at rogue, as it was on stock internals.

You have misunderstood, lol

as per pm.


As was talking about the White big hp US car that the owner ripped people off and got banned from there forum.


I was talking about yours in reference to that Japanese video as I knew someone on here bought it, ie you.


Perhaps i should have used quote marks to separate both my paragraphs, my bad.

I like you have payed for my goodies and car through hardwork.


Hopefully misunderstanding sorted.
I certainly never ment to imply you were the one that done the dirty on other owners.

Cheers Jim- I'm really sorry to have got hold of the wrong end of the stick there...must be tired or something, just got in from spending the evening dropping the gearbox in my brother's celica in preparation for a clutch change. No excuse I know, but I simply misread your post #-o

The Turbo flutter in the 2nd vid sounds sooooo good,... is that with a SSQV?

Would it flutter like that with the stock turbo?

Cheers Steve, a screamer pipe... Ill do a search about them now.

Would it be difficult to fit one to my motor? Im running a Rev 2 with 3" downpipe and upped boost. Stock CT26 Turbo.

Cheers

You need a turbo with with an external wastegate, so know it wouldn't be difficult, but it would cost you a LOT of money!

This was mine running last year (when it only had a baby 315hp) you can hear the screamer pipe. It was so loud in the car; personally I love it!

Problem with my side-exit exhaust now is that it is so loud, I can bearly differentiate between it and the screamer!

Wow, those are all awesome videos with great MR2 engine sounds but I would have say that this one is my personal favorite. Although I really don't like the looks of the car at all but way the engine sounds is amazing :thumleft: !
