i was wondering there is this thirty yr. old down the street with a 94 240sx with a S13 red top drop in and is basicly stock...besides a front mount and down pipes. the problem is that yesterday he started saying that his car could kill my 91 MR2 turbo 5spd. with turbo timer and exhaust. I was wondering because i really dont know how fast these cars are with those mods but i really dont think he can beat my MR2. So if any of yall every raced a MR2 or just know the answer to this ill be glad to hear. Im racing him tomorrow nite @ the spot around here.thnx

if you have the SW22, you have a good chance of winning. btw, claiming a turbo timer will be the difference between a win or lose... thats kinda dumb

Ya never know it might be a 2 part race. A 1/4 mile race and then a foot race at then end of the 1/4.

arent all 94 240sx's convertible? im sure they are. if it isnt a convertible than my money is on the 240 for the simple fact that it has more mods. and i doubt hes running stock boost on a front mount

Well, the only way to find out is to race. There's too many factors to tell accurately here. But while we're bench racing, check out the times each one will do stock:

http://www.albeedigital.com/su....html1993 Toyota MR2 Turbo 6.1 14.7

SR20 S13's at stock boost will do 14s. If he has a FMIC and upped boost, he could very will dip into the 13s if he's a good driver. Good luck.

Oh and I don't know why, but i've seen some weird people use the word turbo timer in place of the word boost contoller. Usually noobs and ricers though..

ya, also take into consideration of the non-motor factors... i.e. LSD, tires, gutted interior, stuff like that. tires make a huge difference.

I give it to the mr2 turbo. Sw20 will kill an s13 w/ sr anyday with equal mods.

A fmic and dp on stock boost and stock exhaust won't do squat.

Being that your 17 I doubt you can drive that good. Guessing that both cars are about even in power I would guess the "30 year old" will smoke you. The MR2 has the engine in the back so LSD or not he will have less traction problems than you. Don't recall if you mentioned you had a VLSD or not.

Good job, although street racing isn't particularly drag racing...should try it legally sometimes. You'd be surprise how fast your car really is compared to others in a 1/4 mile.

LOL. I beat a MR2 Turbo last weekend. Didnt know what he had done but he went away very fast. My SR is a little more than stock. A guy in my area has a Turbo MR2 and cant break 15's with it. Like a 2.4 60ft i think. Damn does he suck at driving.

Hate to say it but you do stupid things and shltty things will happen. Why are you going to sell it if the turbo is blown? Just get a new turbo.

MR2 sence you dont know nothing about his car. And MR2 has a faster motor a LSD. and from it sounds you know nothing about the car your in. Or Me personally I would have found out right then when he brought it up not make a thread asking people if they thought you were gona win or not. If you had to ask chances are you wont win

*EDIT* This kids gonna kill him self if not someone else
