MR2 On The Move.... (http://boost.internav.net/video/Woot.wmv)

[jameswing]

Damn thats fast, how fast were you going when he pulled up next to you?

[hyunelan2]

Holy Jeez!

[slvrsleeper]

And why didn't you run him down? You coulda caught him in your car no sweat!

[XTRAWLD]

Hahaha, what the hell?

[dangahboi]

my bad guys, I forgot to mention I wasn't the filmographer! :rolleyes:

[HatchetMan]

nitrous?

[slvrsleeper]

By the sound I would say BFT or in plain english BIG FREAKIN TURBO

[XTRAWLD]

I'm thinking it's NOS.....

[SWortham]

Ahh, the golden age of Toyota. MR2's are awesome.

[slvrsleeper]

Too squirelly for my tastes, especially when tuned over 350 horsepower.

Not a chance in hell... Those heavily modified turbo MR2's are some silly fast machines. I ran accross one with my 350 WRHP Camaro, and he taught me one hell of a lesson!

[JacksonJ]

dangahboi - Do you know if that was taken from the GTA? I saw a sign saying Hwy 5 Dundas Street.

[dangahboi]

yah, its was in the GTA.
I wish I was there..... coulda been a good run :D

[Rixation]

LoL, don't show this **** to Seraph. He's been wanting an MR2 for a while now. That's just sick.

[Jlivan]

That was sooo sweet!! http://www.smileytown.com/content/emot/exct0004.gif It gave me goose bumps! If only I could get my elantra that fast....<Sigh>http://www.smileytown.com/content/emot/jeal0001.gif

[slvrsleeper]

To a guy in a stock Kia Spectra my XD IS that fast!! Its all a matter of perspective see?

[dangahboi]

...If only I could get my elantra that fast....
With turbo.... anything is possible man! ;)

[watson80]

those cars are very quick and light....they will really run if you know what to do with them

[dangahboi]

I have confirmed who built/tuned that MR2.
The same guys that did my car! :eek:
Since I will be at that very shop for the next couple of days, I will be tracking that MR2 down for a friendly run....
I will keep you guys posted. :thumbsup:

[Jlivan]

How fast were you going on the road?

[felixr]

i saw one on the street this morning . . . take those emblems off and it almost looks european . . . hmmm. . . eeenteresting definately worth looking at (hold your ears die hard elantra fans) trading for it

[Jlivan]

My neighbor has a Toyota Supra w/Nitrous, sweeeeet!

I would definitely have to trade

I do love the Elantra but if it was an even trade...I am on it!

I would love to know how it turns out. Keep us posted!

[OPZ]

I will admit, that being 16 and a "new tuner" or whatever you wanna call it, I don't know cars and parts that well, but I have a DAMN strong feeling that is a big *** turbo AND nitrous. I only say that because you can hear the turbo being reved up, and either the blow off-valves or something else letting out pressure. But I love how at the end you can hear whoever was driving that car hit the gas to try and catch up.

[SWortham]

It's entirely possible to get that much power out of just a turbo... so there's no telling if they were using nitrous or not. There was no indication to me that they were using nitrous. It just sounded like a highly-boosted turbo. Similar to my friend's Eclipse running at 17 psi except even more extreme.

[dangahboi]

OK, to put all these "nitrous theories" at rest.. the car is running a twin turbo jdm engine. I didn't ask about the size of the turbo's he's running, but if you guys are that curious, I can find out.
I talked with my mechanic (who built the motor), and he told me the car was dyno'd at 575whp at the wheels. :eek:
Needless to say, I will NOT be putting my car up against this beast. :fiddle:

[slvrsleeper]

I have two turbos, one for each of you! Anyone know the phone number of the dude with the twin engined Tiburon?

[SWortham]

I talked with my mechanic (who built the motor), and he told me the car was dyno'd at 575whp at the wheels. :eek:

Holy moly... that explains it. I wonder how much power they were pushing in that video. I wouldn't think that it's 575whp daily driven because it probably needs a very high octane fuel to achieve that much power.

[Blackdiamond]

575whp..... Im speechless

[2XDreme]

I played that launch over and over about 20 times

I wish my Elantra sounded like that :(

[dangahboi]

Maybe I'll take some footage of my car on the street...
I think you guys will be plesantly suprised :D

[OPZ]

Please do, it'd be interesting to see/hear a turbo Elantra.

[04 elantra cvvt]

I know that I would love to see that.

I wouldn't think that it's 575whp daily driven because it probably needs a very high octane fuel to achieve that much power.

It's only going to make that much power at full throttle. Those turbos have to spool up to make the boost.

[dangahboi]

Took some video last night guys...
O man, do I have some great news to share with you guys. :D

[04 elantra cvvt]

What might that be?

I know, I'm just saying that there comes a point when you can't use pump gas on cars when you're boosting them at really high levels. You have to use a high octane fuel to prevent pre-ignition and detonation, or turn down the boost to where it's safe to run premium unleaded.

[dangahboi]

What might that be?
I won't be posting it, but PM me if you want to know.

[JacksonJ]

:eek: It says your PM box is full.

j/k ;)

[dangahboi]

:abovelol: :kick:

[faraco3]

holy crap that thing is fast

[SWortham]

I was just browsing around looking at MR2 stuff and found this site which gives a little more info on this car...

[4mynikka]

Showed this clip to a buddy of mine that has as MR2, he went on his forum and he said the dude has about 800bhp, the guy belongs to his forum. I'll be getting one for myself as soon as I graduate.
