\"1995<\/a><\/p>\n

This 1995 Toyota MR2 Turbo originally came with a turbocharged 2.0 L 3S-GTE inline-four. It is now powered by a turbocharged 2.4 L Honda K-series inline-four and Acura RSX six-speed manual transmission. The motor features a reinforced block with Wiseco 10:1 compression pistons, and Boostline connecting rods. On top is a 4Piston Racing ported K20 head with Brian Crower Stage 2 camshafts and Skunk2 Ultra Street intake manifold. Boost is generated by a Precision 6766 BB turbocharger on a Schmuck Built exhaust manifold and cooled by a Fusion Motorsport Fabrication water-to-air intercooler. A set of ID 1700 cc injectors spray fuel by two in-tank pumps controlled by an AEM Infinity ECU. The motor produces 817 hp (609 kW) and 551 lb-ft (747 Nm) of torque on E60-E70 fuel. The MR2 rides on custom Ceika coilovers, Ceika disc brakes, and WedsSport 17-inch wheels. Find more photos and specs on the MR2 at Bring a Trailer<\/a>.<\/p>\n
