Eventhough I crashed my car two days before the event, I still went to Topeka for the nationwide MR2 / Celica meet a couple weeks back (in a rented Ford Taurus, no less). It was a great event and I met lots of cool guys with some crazy set-ups. My personal favorite was a MKI MR2 with a 20v 4age that had been turbo'd and the guy claimed to boost all the way up to 25psi on stock internals. It was a BEAUTIFUL car and install. I don't know the total figures but I would guess there were about 200 cars there. There were about 20 ST185's and ST165s. No 6th gens or other non-oem-3sgte applications though. I think my car would have gathered some attention and I was pretty bummed about not being able to drag or autocross it. Toyota corporate was there with several vehicles including a 500hp 3sgte powered 7th gen. I have a ton of pictures I will try to find some time to upload. In the meantime, here is a clip of the official DVD they are putting together - enjoy:

There's no way that he's boosting 25 PSI on stock internals...even with perfect tuning, anything more than 15 PSI for any amount of time on a stock 20V 4A-GE would kill it.
But the meet sounds cool...the video is downloading now. 
-------------------- New Toyota project coming soon...

I just read a post of the guy on the mr2 site that says he had a stock 4agze bottom end. I didn't ask him but I bet he was running race gas too. -------------------- QUOTE(lagos @ Jul 10, 2006 - 1:55 PM) [snapback]454118[/snapback] i know your trying to do the right thing for your motor, but this is one of those times where you should just trust the guys who have had their swaps for a while and have done a ton of research into this. |
