sigh... this topic always comes up...

[quote=GTO MR}well interesting reading .. i own a gto mr , yes the MR stands for mitsubishi racing , the engine is up front , the MR had the aero actives removed and a fixed spoiler fitted to lose weight they removed the cruise control to lose weight and the four wheel steering as this is heavy .. the engine pushes 320 bhp standard as the other gto's push 280 standard .. very brief description and hope this helps a bit ..

Yes!! All true! Except in Japan the engine was "officially" still rated at 280hp (206kw) due to the gentlemens agreement.

MR GTOs have the exact same gearing as a TT GTO. This gearing IS different to a USDM VR4.

Also ABS became an option on the MR rather than a standard feature.

[quote=Hotshot8792}The GTO MR's run around a 12.6 in the quarter

what i understand, the MR is the fastest japanese stock production car[/quote]
Ok I've never seen a stock MR run that quite quick before, not to say that it isnt possible, just that i have never seen it. I have a vid of one running a 12.8 which is still bloody fast.

I'm pretty sure that fastest Japanese stock production car is the R32 V-spec 2. The R33 vspec can pull a 12.7 sec 1/4 and the R32 vpec2 has exactly the same engine but in a slightly light shell. So theoretically it should be faster.

The saving in weight on an MR GTO vs a TT GTO is dependant on year.

MRs
94-95 1650kg
95-98 1680kg
98-99 1670kg

TT GTOs
94-98 1710kg
98-99 1680kg

When i get a chance ill write everything i know about MRs up in some sort of reasonable manner and pm it to Ingovert so he can put it into the FAQ for you guys.

MR is called mid engine because the engine is in front of the rear wheels and the transmission behind it. RR cars have the engine behind the trans and axel, or are configured in a transverse style, just in the rear of the car instead of the front like a FWD or FF car.

i will find out 1 day how my MR runs .. as it is totally stock ( at the moment) so i would like to run it down the quarter just to see what it does ???? if i do i will post the results for you to see ...

i don't know much about these cars at the mo but if any 1 understands my gto is running 310.4BHP / 5423 1/min (102mph) 360.3lbft / 3379 1/min

if any 1 can tell me if this is good or bad for a stock GTO MR would be greatfully appreciated ... thats what the reading says on a test i had done .. just hope you all tell me its good and not bad ..lol

The vr-4 has 320 hp not 280 and the mr im pretty sure has more than 320 given it has 13g turbos

The MR never had 13g turbos. 13g's were only an option for Euro spec 3k's. The thing that made the MR faster than US spec cars was it being lighter and the JDM gearing. That is all. It had the exact same power as a regular GTO TT.

so than if a euro spec'd gto with 13gs did the free boost mod and or the BPUs it would be the fastest out of all of them or what??? I mean becuase technically, couldn't you boost higher with the bigger turbos or what?>

yes, it would be faster. but we're talking about factory specifications, not how much one could turn up the boost.

yes, you can always 'boost higher', but with 13g's compared to 9b's, both at a given boost level, the 13g will produce more power (provided all other parameters are equal) than the 9b simply because the 13g is a 'larger turbo'.

First there is no such thing as a Euro spec GTO.

Only in Japan were they GTO's. The GTO's in Europe were brought over from Japan. A 13g 3000gt would need to upgrade injectors before it turns up the boost too high. The major factor for the lower et's is the JDM gearing.

Thanks for clearing that up for me stealthee.

just to confuse matters why do the call it a mid engine when its in the back and not the middle ?? HHmmm now theres a thought ...lol
