I would like to know the answer to this.

[stevenb]

Sorry for asking.

Not that I encourage racing on public roads etc etc....Im not a boyracer at all.
BUT......
0-60 times for standard cars

Mk1 mr2
mk2 mr2
mk2 tubby mr2
have I missed one?

my friend wants to buy a tubby mr2. rev1/2
this will stop him from asking me.....I dont know.
Thanks all

[jim]

as far as I recall,

MK1 around 8 seconds
MK1 SC around 6.5 seconds (Jap import only)

MK2 just under 8 seconds (7.7 rings a bell...)
MK2 Turbo 5.6 seconds rev 1-2 (before 1993) 5.2 seconds rev 3+(1994 onwards) (Jap import only)

I'm sure someone here can give more accurate info.

I have heard that a mk1 is 7.7 secs.Mk1 sc is 7.0secs
i agree with the rest from what i have heard.

[Dale_V]

I thought the rev 1-2 NA's were 7.2 secs and the rev 3+ were 7.7

[Goldy]

I thought the rev 1-2 NA's were 7.2 secs and the rev 3+ were 7.7

I'm in agreement with that... however thats the GT's right...
the rev1 n/a (3sfe) engine is 0-60 in around 9 secs

[stevenb]

Which leads onto my next Q.
Of thr mk2's
What engine sizes are there?
Jap and UK?
I know of only names...ie. G-ltd, Gt, GT-s. are these just trim levels?
My friend wants a mk2.....and we are looking at one/two today.

Thanks and sorry for the lack of knowledge.

2.0 3SFE (116BHP ish) Rev1 (no spoiler)
2.0 3SGE (153-170BHP) Rev1-5
2.0 3SGTE (Tubby 240BHP+)
2.2 BEAMS (don't know much about this one)

[Dale_V]

Nice one....think my friend wants this:
2.0 3SGE (153-170BHP) Rev1-5
What years saw the bhp gain? And was there an inbetween?

[Hurstie1981]

Rev 3, 1994 saw the change. An increase in BPH but slower in the 0-60 iirc?!?

[Baker]

yeah, less torque, more high end grunt....i think

[Zippy]

2.0 3SFE (116BHP ish) Rev1 (no spoiler)

Dont rely on a 3SFE having no spoiler - many were fitted after purchase

iirc the "3SFE" is printed on top of the cambelt cover.

the 3SFE is quite a torquey engine and in day to day driving not as bad as people make out. Looking at you Dale

Yep, I had one years ago - to drive, upto about 5krpms they feel exactly as quick as the Mk2 NA 'GT' model. I can remember being quite unimpressed when I drove a later Rev3 NA car comapired to my MK2 NA Coupe.

[Quigonjay]

2.2 BEAMS (don't know much about this one)

the beams is a 2.0 200bhp na vvti/vtec type engine, late rev 5 jap import only
Jay

[DeusMR2]

the 2.2L N/A (not BEAMS) was for the american market only, 5AFE engine I think. About 138bhp(?), not sure though but definatley less than the 2.0 3SGE's

UK GT or GTi 16=2 litre non turbo
JDM GT= top spec 2.o turbo
JDM GT-s=more race spec (suspension etc) 2.0 turbo
JDM G Ltd= 2.0 non turbo top spec
JDM G=2.0 bottom spec non turbo 2.0

Most models had the same options to upgrade to GT level anyway.
Dont think japs had sunroofs. only hard top or t bar iirc

I didnt realise the BEAMS was 2.2. i thought it was just toyota's equivilent to the VTEC and variable timing with 2 litres?
