MR2 Hits the Dyno
The MR2 is ready for the dyno! Last episode Marty got the new ECU working and with the help of Tuning Fork, managed to get it started and running after upgrading the turbo, installing a custom water to air setup, installing new coils, injectors and fuel system.

tredigi no way
whats the song that starts @12:24
Talk in BHP, not in that KW shit
What is the song in this video?
I'm back, Song at 11:24 looking for the name or any info about it.
Cool music
After watching this fiasco, I will never buy an MR2. Come to think of it, that's not even an MR2 anymore, it's a custom mid-engine Toyota.
honestly..the puerile deafening music ruins this channel
when he said the exhaust had a cat in it i was confused and thought he was trolling about a cat, but it is actually an exhaust thing lol
How did you held that exhaust insulators without any itch?!
did anyone cop the stand turning at 3.41
off the shelf o ring are fine just use EPDM OR good stuff viton n read what types to what best n get stuff made in Japan usa canada no junk rubbers as chiny stuff may be miss label yea by mistake to right lol
what others sounds like e-tron exist?
Mate, you have such a pacience. Just watching I felt sad and angry how bad it fought back. Nothing seemed to want to be fixed...
Wow this is super cool 😎 loving the build thing is sweet 😎 my build is a turd of a vw golf mk5 it had a blown tubro I thought and it needs a engine transplant so got the new tubro ready for the new engine but needs some carbon fiber parts 😜
11:55 what kind of soundtrack is playing?
Hello from Dagestan Russia, I have been watching your channel for a long time
My brain keeps wondering how he's working in the exhaust underneath the engine lol
i dont want to ruin it but Moogs car is rear engine and MR2 is MID engine car:)
These episodes have set me straight about one day getting an MR2. I wonder what MIATA is doing? lol
Can someone please let me know what song starts at 11:28 in the background?! It's amazing and I must listen to it on repeat until I'm sick of it lol. Thanks in advance.
Stressed for you watching that on the dyno! So good to see it boosting and making some decent power.
It's so nice to see you fixing these old cars :) Here in Sweden we have to drive a car only in the summer if we want it nice and free of rust
"I may never have to get under here again" And thats where the exhaust leak kicked in
Awesome
And 4, I don't like brake fluid in the armpit. Gives that warm sensation like you've just received a new STD.
Great to finally see a mr2 on your shows! 💪
Nice bro
The soundtrack for this episode is killer epic!!
Man I wish I could get my hands on that MR2. That was a honest labor of love, not for the car but the craft. Mad respect Marty. Unfortunately I'm in San Diego California.
I think the mr2 is the main reason Marty has a hoist
i "paged-up" a bit too much on my old 1zz MR2 lol, now it's got a 2zz.

FairPlay for staying with it, you did some nice work there.
I love the tunes in this series. I also love how meticulous you guys are when you do your cars albeit not pro level. Have been a long time subscriber and had bought your merchandise before. Nice job!
People always ask how it is I got to know so much about how to work on cars and the engineering that goes into them despite not going to school or getting any formal training. I always tell them it's because of the internet like forums and such which is true but it's more specifically videos like these which are well made and enjoyable to watch as much as they are educational. Thank you guys for making a passion filled hobby of mine so fascinating and accessible
Marty you must have hands like leather to handle the exhaust wrap stuff.
i bet martys hands were all messed up after working with that fiberglass heat wrap with his bare hands no gloves
I hope you used an Aussie downpipe.
Do you mean that you had a "dream" that you had an MX5 and lost against an s2k lol??
Marty seems to be hating life working on this car throw it in the bin
Your blatant hate for bolt on parts is ridiculous
Tries to fit a NA exhaust onto a turbo. “It doesn’t fit” lol
I owned a slick top mr2 turbo many years ago. That thing was a nightmare filled with issues and the transmission was garbage. It was a great car when everything was working well but that's wasn't too often. And just working on a mid rear layout killed my back. That being said I love they idea of this platform and they look great especially in black like the car here.
13:20 song name ?
This series makes me never want a MR2
Amazing ending to this video series and I loved the wiring harness. Thank you Marty or Mighty. Whatever your name is. 😉
How is that MR2 only pushing out 234 HP? My MK1.5 with Gen 2 3S-GTE makes 254 wheel on the ATS dyno (which notoriously reads low) with the same CT27, 16psi, stock Gen 3 cams, stock cam pulleys, upgraded valve springs, stock ECU, ATS side-mount A2A IC, ATS throttle body inlet, stock injectors, squeezed stock fuel pressure regulator, bored out stock fuel rail, Walbro 255, distributor, airflow meter, pump 93 AKI, full 3" catless straight pipe. Oh and all of that stuff aside from the CT27 and fuel pump was out of a used parts bin.
man i hate that exhaust so much. lol
Are those seats from a newer toyota 86/brz?
Pretty sure that exhaust mod was way better than the original design. I find straight line pipes work far better than spelling your name in cursive...
we need a honda del sol track build non vtec na that would be amazing
it looks so uncomfortable! look where his knees are when hes driving jesus!
Hey Guys from the UK, FINALLY managed to be able to afford to support the show, just ordered a mystery Box, some gloves, a deck of cards and a chopped keyring (Order #150268 ) so now it's just a matter of waiting for it to cross the Oceans and slip through UK Customs unopened.... fingers crossed! Really looking forward to seeing the challenge video soon, I've been a passenger in a sported up MR2 and I almost sh!t myself so I am rooting for Marty as it's a Pop-Up lights car and I just love them, we drive a Mazda 323F BG with popup lights (My crap Car coming soon to MCM2). However There's something about Moog's car that just tingles my spuds LOL
Aren’t all toyota supposed to be reliable? Lol
How much Boost was the Mr2 running?
Marty Car Mods should show us a new video soon.
I'm a big VW Beetle fan but this Toyota will kill it.
man with the clutch i have had that we just leave it overnight and it would be could with the valve closed was working at a dealer with pressure thing for brakes and hydraulic clutches would not work all the time we just leave it over night
When are you guys putting a honda engine in there?
12:25 Anyone know the name of this song. It's such a cool tune!
I don't think that it is released yet, but I have found a fan that pieced the song together from this video. ircloud.info/get/fy-lm-h-y/nIOqd6OHrp9-aLI.html
i started watching mcm when i was 11 and i loved it now im 19 close to 20 driving my own car (bmw e36) and im still watching your stuff i love it thank you very much for entertaining me for so long while teaching me stuff
I would have done same with 2nd hand exhaust
At least you have a hoist for working underneath and you are not rolling around on a dirty floor The joys of working on someone else’s hatchet job 👍👍
Any MCM tshirts on sale ?
mrpoo moog
Please take that ugly TRD sticker off the trim below the cluster. 😅😅
My stock 2003 saab 9-5 2.3 turbo makes about 190 kilowatts 😂
@Mighty Car Mods also while you're here 😂 love you both love your videos you two are awesome
@Mighty Car Mods ultimate specs say stock 217 bhp wikipidia says 260 hp I'm not getting a straight answer
@Mighty Car Mods are you looking at 2.3 liter inline 4 turbocharged?
are you sure? listing says 175kw and thats at the engine
I feel like this MR2 is the reflection of every damn car I've ever damn well worked on... Was starting to think y'all would never get a car that really fights back.
I like how its kept real, well, as best as they can. I'm sure a lot of what has to be done, real time (days) it takes is edited. I have a 1997 Saturn SC2 that I just put a rear-mount turbo on. It brought back painful memories of all the cutting pipes, marking them, tacking them, fitting them, back off, welding, etc. when I saw Marty doing his. Particularly going from the front to the back with the water pipes. But, just like he's seen, feels SO good to finally get into it and feel all that hard work pay off!
I hate HATE O ring sealed thermostat housings... They're common in the chrome "I'm shiny so I go faster" aftermarket for American V8's, and holy crap, they're awful. They don't seal when new, and they tend to corrode in strange ways causing sudden terrible leaks.
@Mighty Car Mods Two reasons, in factory applications it was likely a cost measure. In aftermarket, it was just because it was shiny. Form over function has caused a lot of cars to suffer terrible fates... Just look at 2SEXY, haha.
yeah can't really see the point
I really hoped you would have changed the paper HEADGASKET! Only 94-+ came with metal
I hate break fluid!!! I feel your pain.
its grot
you seem happy after the tune and drive. but for a while i wasnt sure if you wanted to win the challenges or set it on fire and watch it burn.
bit of both!
Dislike no page up
Awesome job.
The reason older Toyota's fight you so much is they are testing you to see if you are worthy to drive them !
good show but you need more cars to do 1 car every couple of months get a grip get more cars and content going guys
plenty of vlogging channels with workshops who do their work if thats more your taste, we go pretty hard for 2 dudes and production value
I would have done same with 2nd hand exhaust
You can soak thermowrap in water for a tighter fit. (tight fit haha)
I like the new track
It might have given You a hard time but it has made You do some epic IRcloud videos and it's sooo cool to see it finally runs. Best of luck with the race. 👍😎💪
Anyone know what the music is that starts at 11:24 ??
I'm happy for you Marty, this one's been a rough go.
Man with that music you were playing when it first got on the dyno I thought uncle Rodney would be paying you guys a visit or something. It's been rough watching you fight this stupid thing. I hate cars that are difficult to work on so I guess after this I will never own one of these, haha. Excited to see the shoot-out, nice to see it putting down pretty good power.
That exhaust looks hella restrictive lol
I built that replacement exhaust at home in Penrith a few years ago. Nice to see it saving someone.
@Mighty Car Mods when you do move to twins, I would be interested in fitting that muffler to the 1MZ SW20 I am working on so just send me a message. Cheers
@Mighty Car Mods good to see it served a purpose.I found the twin exhaust had a ridiculous drone to it and heavier than the single. Two reasons I removed it then changed to a single. Email me when you change as I could fit it to the SW20 1MZ V6 conversion that I'm currently working on.
thanks man, it did save the day.. will prolly go back to twins eventually
I think the moon buggy is in trouble
You want a fast and reliable mr2? HONDA Kseries swap it
yeah mon
Do you ever add anti seize on fasteners, seeing how alot of the bolts where rusted??? I do. 1984 datsun 200sx (silvia S-12) v8 swap is my ride!
my dream car before becoming a daddy
10:30 famous last words
What heat wrap did Marty use on the exhaust and pipework
just no name stuff, nothing flash
It works it works (rev counter broken) 😂😂😂😂
@Mighty Car Mods would be nice to see how hard your pushing the engine,when you get chopped by the moogbuggy 🥳
why do i need it?
Truck assembly line ircloud.info/get/fy-lm-h-y/foDeiJ1lbpxoltQ.html
if you dont have a cat in europe you emediateley fail the M.O.T.
This song is a banger man!!! Need this in my playlist
Taco is buggered
The proper pigeon noises after the dyno are the best.
"check engine light" Ya'll mean engine bay temperature light.
Mighty has already won this before the cars even meet. Epic build compared to a carb rebuild and some rattle can paint.
On the bright side, at least the next owner of that mr2 will read all the threads saying they’re a shit to work on and they’ll be like... “what is everyone on about? It’s easy?”
