There's a soupted up version of a goddamn TAURUS?!?!?!?!? Ok, now I've heard everything. I mean, what's the POINT? Not like Grandpa will use the extra horsepower to and fro the drug-store!
Gimme a Twin-Turbo RX-8, or a Turbo Mazda3 Sedan over a Taurus anyday!

the same reason the nissan maxima has 255hp and the accord has 240hp, or why you can buy a pontiac gtp. people like going fast no matter how many doors they have, and some people enjoy surprising others

91 MR-2 turbo
apexi gt-spec 3" exhuast (went from dual to single to eliminate the two 90 bends)
gutted cat, 3" downpipe
apexi intake
replumbed PCV system (there's still debate on MR2OC about how it's designed to work, but for me the car runs much better with it vented instead of recirculated)
ball-spring mbc @ 15 psi
black box fuel cut defenser ($5 worth of radioshack parts for something HKS will sell you for $100)
greddy bov (I hate this thing, going to swap it for a stock bpv if I can find one cheap)
turbo timer
trd shifter
autometer boost guage
That's about it, the car came with the intake/exhuast/timer/bov/prep stuff. I spent about $50 in parts and did all the work myself to get the boost up. Next I'm going to replace the crappy side mount intercooler with the old one from my supra, and top mount it on the other side of the engine bay (read: not right next to the turbo) with a bigger fan pulling through it so it doesn't heat soak so quickly. Still, the car is a blast to drive, handles awesome with stock wheels and suspension. No rice or anything, looks stock from the outside if you don't look close at the muffler or boost guage. I call her Vera.

a turbo 89 caravan! that's a first. but how can you get an intercooler off a Mazda 626? I don't think Mazda ever made any turbo 626.
Both caravans and voyagers came stock with turbos in 89 and 90 and there a quite a few running in the 12s-13s in the 1/4. Mine should be in the 14s once I get the engine back together. The mazda 626 turbos are pretty rare but they did make them somewhere in the 89-90ish area. Not an expert on those. I pulled the intercooler off the 626 myself at the junkyard.

I used to drive a '96 626. I didn't know it used to have turbo version and was RWD in '79! How about bring back the RWD to the 6!Originally posted by: thedarkwolf

Yeah, I only kept it 'cause it has outside temp and pressure. Nice to know when your going to produce max power in a turbo car.
I *would* like to put this in place of it, but you know. Cash is often better spent elsewhere.

Yeah its a oem option that was in my car when I bought it. The Bar pressure and altitude is useless because I think it has to be reset everytime you restart the car, but the compass and temp are useful.
