THE CAR WILL COME WITH A SPARE 3SGTE SHORTBLOCK


The car is was originaly a turbo model and the OEM motor was swapped out with the All-Trac GT4 3SGTE by a previous owner. The motor is the JDM Celica All-Trac GT4 version of the 3SGTE. The difference is in the compression (8.5:1 instead of 9.0:1 like others), the camshafts (something about the duration?), and none of the emission crap like EGR or extra sensors (Oil Level, Crank Angle). The car ran a 12.92 @ 111mph spinning in 1st and 2nd gear by a previous owner on the stock turbo @ 15psi w/ the top mount intercooler. This car beat my Evo from a roll when I had around 300whp. Factory MR2 fuel, ignition, and motors are built to hold 300+ horsepower without any upgrade. Factory injectors are 440cc and there have seen well over 400+ horsepower on bone stock blocks.

I purchased this car from a personal friend of mine with intentions to get it up and running to use as a daily driver. However, I've lost interest and do not have the time to get this car up and running. I am in need of a daily driver... the sooner the better, hence why this project is up for sale. I bought the car knowing the block is bad however, THE CAR WILL COME WITH A SPARE 3SGTE SHORTBLOCK! Clean the block, mill the head, install new headgasket, and maybe a new oil pump (optional) and this car will be back on the road. The car is currently sitting at Mainstream Performance with the spare block and parts there as well so if you want Mainstream to do the work on the car, you don't have to worry about towing fees to there. If you want to see the car, goto Mainstream and ask to see Charles's MR2.

[ct9a gsr]

bump!

[Glides]

Thats a hell of a price for that car. someone better jump this fast.

Though whoever mounted that monster tach on the pillar should have their good sense card revoked for life.

[importmyth01]

hey hey now lets not rag on my craftsmanship....I was transitioning from my "early 16 year old ricer form" LOL Charles I sent oyu a PM about it I want her back!

The stock tach just seemed way off sometimes, typical for any stock tach hence the autometer.

[ct9a gsr]

The car doesn't have the monster tach anymore actually... hence why I didn't put it in the mods list.

Bump for this weekend!

[Sport1.3]

WOw that is a STEAL! GL with it. if you end up not being able to sell it, i'd be interested in the 3SGTE short block

[ct9a gsr]

[92mr2T]

bump for the sale.
Is this raymonds old car? This is mike with the other black turbo.

p.s.
mr2's with stock injectors will start running lean when approaching the 280-300 whp level!! I once made 299whp at redline and you could see the afr start to rise above 12.0. I wasn't making a lot of tq though.
