TUNING THE TOYOTA 2GR-VE 3.5 Dual VVTi (MR2)

So why go V6?

A question thats asked a lot and a good one too, the V6 is toyotas best kept engine secret.They tucked it away in the big cruiser of the range the toyota camry, if only they had the foresight to use this unit in the mk2 like we are doing today! It really doesn’t serve its full purpose in the heavyweight camry and is further strangled to death on a horrible auto gearbox.Having said that it still hauls the camry to 60 fairly quickly.But its in the mk2 Mr2 where it comes into its own.

The V6 in stock form,simply transplanted from camry to mr2 with no mods,will give you stock mr2 turbo performance but with big differences. (this performance claim is proven)

The differences being driveability,bottom end torque,silky smooth power delivery,an engine that purrs at idle and then roars like thunder on full throttle like only a v6 can.Quite simply the noise these things make is to die for but by far the best advantage is the throttle response….no lag with these fellas! The torque curve from 2000rpm to 2500rpm is practically vertical.

Enjoy the sweet sounds of this customers MR2 V6 in stock form, calibrated and controlled by a Haltech Elite ECU.

Here are a couple of great videos talking more about this lovely engine. One is a breakdown and the other talks about the variations. They aint making them like they used to.
