Look under the engine cover lid, should be a sticker with the engine type.

sounds like a rev2.

Although items can be changed over. Front splitter/bumper is also a give away. Size of brakes.

o and rear disc brakes

Rev1 brakes are smaller than rev2+, also, the splitter wouldn't be on it, sounds like a rev2 mate

what bhp would a rev 2 have.
its nippy but not a quick as the bmw e30 325i 1988 i sold last year.
that was 170 standard but but i had it chipped.

Can't mind the exact figure but it's between 160 and 180, think the rev3 is 174, they are nowhere near as quick as a 325, or even a 318 I would suspect, a tubby would take one on no problem but not an N/a

[afennell]

rev1 fronts 258 Diameter:
rev2+ fronts 275

[afennell]

i believe the rev 1-2 are around 150bhp
rev3 up to 170bhp.
Beams 200 bhp

i no a standard e30 325i is down as able to manage 0 to 60 in 7.4 sec
i thought an mr2 with round about 170 bhp could easily manage that time.

isn't the 325 a six cylinder

[dayc1972]

isn't the 325 a six cylinder

yes 6 pot 12v

[foxy-stoat]

Chassis number is the only way to be sure to be sure. Theres a thread somewhere that gives chassis numbers and rev's.

158hp from new for a rev1/2 with a 3sge engine, 3sfe has 119hp. If you look for pics on here you will see what type engine you have.

If your engine is running badly or in need of a service it will be down on power, infact any 20 year old car may not have the factory quoted power figures.

Mr2's are surprisingly slow man, I have a turbo which is quick and my missus has a non turbo, rev3, it's a pig in comparison, my 1.9 diesel punto is faster get yourself a tubby, will keep up with an M3 no problem

was thinking about a turbo.
then thought extra insurance and they were all grey imports.
and dont they only run on super unleaded as well.

[dayc1972]

will check the size of my brakes.
