If you’re looking to go 10s in an MR2/MRS you have the wrong platform in my opinion. That’s what DSMs/Hondas are for lol. The whole point of going “K” (again, in my opinion) is to have 250whp+ N/A. If you’re looking for ~600whp or something with boost might as well stay in the ZZ family and build that motor for boost. ---

The k20 is a lot better than the 1zz i have, so trying to boost or build it up wont be to practical either, at least with the k20 its reliable and has way more support in the performance world. 2zz motors are on par with the k20 but harder to come by. Another reason for me to go k20 is there are a lot of local people with honda tunning experience. this will be legit if it gets built. but N/A all the way. ---

You don’t even need ITBs, a good IM like the Xcessive is good for 270whp or even a little more with e85 ---

you think an E85 tune would be worth it going N/A? ITB’s would be more of a excess want then practical! lol. plus it would be sound sex all the time!!! on my way to work this morning i decided that i hate the shitty little motor they put in my mr2. its so under powered. at 65-70mph in 5th its sounds like the motor is about to blow up, tach is @4g’s. needs more power and a 6th gear! aka k20! ---

Yeah I don’t know what Toyota was thinking making the MR-S so slow, back in it’s day the MR2 SC was pretty quick (faster than an e30 M3 0-60 (and maybe in the quarter mile??) and faster than an F40 0-30 if I’m not mistaken), the MR-S is barely faster than an MR2 SC :rofl :rofl ---

That will most likely not be within this decade, but it will happen eventually. I think a high revving N/A 4 cyl is the only motor for an mr2/mrs/exige. In a perfect world I’d like a 3S-GE BEAMS swap (or in a double-perfect world, a Formula Atlantic 4A-GE), but in all reality I think a K series is ideal. > > Sooo… my personal suggestion will be yes, go for a K series, just realize that it will in NO way be the most economical way to get 200-280whp in your car. Unless there is some kind of bolt/weld-in kit for the MR-S that I don’t know about haha. I am getting the k series community to rally around me in stopping you from ever touching a k20 or k24 ---

Everyone currently in the K series community will be dead by the time this happens so your efforts will be futile. ---
