Brief Walk through of my Holset HX35, 3SGTE Swapped Toyota Celica.

Toyota's race cars back when Toyota made them.

Celica GT-Four

MR2 Turbo

Supra Turbo

Hey look at that, they all have turbos.

Is the 1991 Toyota MR2 SW20 the most dangerous car ever?

"The SW20 is most dangerous car you can buy"

says Regular Car Reviews 

"This car should be illegal." But don't get me wrong it is a blast to drive and owing one is awesome.

"The MR2 Turbo might be the most dangerous car ever because of its accessibility and tendency towards sudden lift-off oversteer, but I would buy one for the "Warning: Radio Will Not Work If Removed" sticker alone. Getting a second-gen MR2 crossed my mind every week when I lived in London. The UK is full of them and they really are dirt cheap. That might be a problem because driving a mid-engined car fast takes practice, and young drivers tend to be lacking that sort of experience. The good news is that like all Toyotas from the nineties, the SW20 is easily fixable from the parts bin after ending up in a ditch, and owning one gives the satisfaction of having a classic that drives well, looks great and could never happen again."

"It's the James Dean of cars."

"This is the most dangerous car ever made and it is also a perfect expression of The Human Condition. We want to know where "The Limit" lies and damn self-preservation. This is the most dangerous car, because it is cheap, accessible, and exists in great numbers. This is opposed to a Porsche 911SC which is more dangerous in a mechanical sense but is not as accessible as the MR2"

Jalopnik says "The way I see it, this car and its weight-shifting only helps getting rid of the less smart ones you didn't like that much anyway. It's called natural selection."

I couldn't Agree more. It takes real skill to drive this care to and past it's limits. You WILL spin the car around while learning it's limits. But once you do find those limits and push it to the limit the car will repay you with handling few modern cars can rival. It's called the poor mans Ferrari.

Also check out my MR2 GO FAST Parts Store.

Toyota MR2 & Celica Performance Parts and Go FAST Parts.

If you haven't checked out my store for Toyota MR2 & Celica, Or any car with the 3SGTE in it for GO FAST Parts, I Seriously think you should. I have looked all over the net for these deals and I put them all in one nice store with notes on each part on how you will use them and when you will need that at certain power levels. Please check it out and let me know what you think. My Toyota MR2 & Celica GO FAST Performance Shop.

Lifted the 4Runner.

I finally got enough funds saved up to splurge and buy tires and a lift. Check it out.

I got the tires from Treadwright. 33.5" They are great, not to loud on the high way.

The lift is ToyTec 3" in front and the rear are 2" taller springs

A bunch of inspirational 4Runner photos collected off the web.

4Runner Fanboy.

I love 4Runners, Always have. My mom had a 1996 that I fell in love with and eventually became mine. Now I have a 4th gen, 2004 V6. It has great power and pickup but I want to make it more aggressive.

what you see above is something I would go for. So here are a few picture of nice 4Runners I've found around the web.

Scion FR-S & Subaru BRZ!

What more could you want! An inexpensive sporty car that is mid engine, rear-wheel drive and features a 2.0-liter horizontally opposed "boxer" four-cylinder engine that produces 200 hp and 151 pound-feet of torque.A six-speed manual transmission is standard and a six-speed automatic with steering wheel shift paddles and rev-matched downshifts is optional.

In an Edmunds performance test, a manual-equipped BRZ went from zero to 60 mph in 7.3 seconds. EPA-estimated fuel economy is 22 mpg city/30 mpg highway and 25 mpg combined with the manual and an excellent 25/34/28 with the automatic.

A turbo model may be available under the Subaru name in the future. The BRZ is starting at 25k and 27k for the limited with more bells and whistles, but who cares I would like it light as possible as curb weight is already 2700lbs.

I think it's really going to happen! Toyota FT-86 Scion FR-S

This concept has been buzzing along the net for a while.

I thought it would never materialize but it did!

finally a decent sports car. They say it will be around 20k base model, but who knows. It was supposed to be a cheaper rwd/awd car that brings back the passion of driving and drifting. I hear Toyota worked with Subaru on the drivetrain which makes sense because Toyota own Fuji Heavy Industries which is the plant/company that produces Subaru's.

Check out the vid and pics. I'll post more when I find out more LEGIT specs.

Holset Hx35 on a Built JDM 3SGTE swapped into a 1997 Toyota Celica GT.

I can't believe I haven't posted this sooner, I forgot all about my Celica's dyno video.
Like the video says Mike Bruell & Myself made 330whp & 250wtq at 14.5lbs boost (1bar).



Here's a couple drive by videos for your enjoyment.
I know it doesn't look like I'm going fast but that last pass I hit 120mph easily.
In the 2nd pass you can hear the tires break free then 8,500rpm rev limiter.



Ok, and below just to show you guys the engine is now in the MR.
Heres a video of it RIGHT after I got it in the car, there was no exhaust, the timing was off and It hadn't been tuned. So yeah I know it sounded like shit in the video but it was just to show
people I completed the swap. Since then everything and more has been done to that engine.
Thats going to be my next post ;)



The 91 JDM 3sgte 9.0:1 comp engine is built with these mods:
AEM Full Standalone Unit

Gm 3 Bar Map
Spec (clutchmaster) stage 3 clutch
HKS Super Mega Flow intake filter (actual name haha)

3" mandrel bent side exhaust W/ huge muffler & resonator
300x600x3" Bar and Plate Front mount intercooler W/ 2.5" to 3" mandrel bent piping

Not bad power.
This was a break in tune so we didn't turn the boost up, It was set to the wastegate spring, 1 bar.
Which is unfortunate because at 1 bar this turbo wasn't even in its efficiency range yet.
Around 22+ lbs is were this turbo comes alive and really puts down power.
Currently I'm building a 2.2L stroker 5SGTE, 8:1 compression ratio.
With this turbo in my MR2, Plan to run 30lbs of boost on pump gas daily, but thats another post.

Anyways, don't be afraid to leave me a comment.
Mike Bruell is a great tuner and is always up to the challenge of tuning vehicles.
If you would like us to tune your vehicle send me an email.Heres more pics of the celica.

Tanner Foust's "Scion tC"

Is it awesome? Hell yeah. Is it a scion tc? Hell no.
I bet on the scion message boards theres fanboys going OMG that scion tc is so cool! I'm gunna build one!
Yeah.... right. I like how it's RWD and built with Toyota's V8 Nascar engine, but labeling it a scion tc is just wrong.
It's practically a tube frame chassis drag car with a fiberglass body. Labeling aside this car is mint though, Huge kudos to the builders and fabricators who made this beast.
650 HP and 450 lb-ft of torque through a four-speed shifter with an AEM EMS.


Oh and I found this gem as a comment here.
"anyone that says "S13", "S14", "S15", "AE86", or "R32" will be asked to leave because cars have names and only douchebag ricers refer to cars by production codes."
I think he's just sad because he doesn't know what any of those letters and numbers mean. :D
