Sup, i drive an S13 but my friend wanted to know a bit about his 91' turbo mr2 so i figured the best place to come would be here, heres a small list:

-Does it come with a limited slip differential stock or is it open diff ?
-what size is the turbo ?
-is it a good drift car ?

thanks

1. LSD was an option in the 93 and later models. His 91 does not have LSD unless someone added it after ward.

2. The OEM turbo is a CT26, it is a smallish, fast-spooling low-rpm turbo. It runs out of breathe around 5500 rpms.

3. MR2s can be drifted, they are not "good drift" cars. Good drift cars are front-engine and rear-wheel drive.

Hey guys, I thought I would back up this post, seeing as I found a 91 MR2 Turbo I am going to look at soon...

Love yours Jeyklandhyde, I also took the time to read your stories & crashes...Glad your OK!

Where is a good place to read about the cars specs/stock HP and all around info and what to look out for? Do these cars have a timing belt that needs to be changed, what mile interval?

Thanks much for any imput!
Thanks much!

Timing belts are due every 60,000 miles.

[QUOTE=Do these cars have a timing belt that needs to be changed, what mile interval?[/QUOTE]

see that's an odd question!

Why is that an odd question?

well i guess not all cars need timing belts.

just seemed very specific for someone who hasn't got one.

Some cars have timing chains that do not need to be replaced. I would think this is a fairly typical question for someone about to look for a used car as it is a big job ($$ wise) and it's nice to know if it has been done recently.

yeah good point.
it's actually a pretty good question. better than "whats the 1/4 time for the turbo?"

Thanks again Jekylandhyde...
I have had some Porsche 944 Turbo's and they require them about every 45k miles and also some other cars that don't need them as you mention...(Chains) or without internal belts/chains at all RX-7's...
I have always loved the style of these cars and saw a 91 MR2 Turbo 4 sale locally, I hope to see tommarow...
I already have seen times on the 1/4 miles ha ha...
