'86-89 MR2's were either N/A or supercharged, the supercharged ones putting out 160 HP. the SC'd engine code is 4A-GZE.

the 1990-95 MR2's were either N/A or turbocharged. the N/A version had the 5S-FE engine, putting out 130 HP and 140 ft./lbs. of torque. My old celica GT had the same engine.

The turbos, on the other hand, were a different story. they had the 3S-GTE engine, 200 HP and 200 ft./lbs. of torque. and like i said earlier, that engine can put out 400 HP on stock internals. the nickname for the MR2, when it was still around, was "the Poor Man's Ferrari".

the new MR2's are a disgrace. it looks like the retarded cousin of the Porsche Boxster, and it's performance is horrible. Toyota is going down the tubes in terms of performance. 1993 was their best year, with a turbo Celica, MR2, and Supra in the line-up. after that, it just went downhill. Toyota has NO cool cars now. they are all about 108-hp starter cars, family sedans, and hybrid POS's.
