Notice:

You are viewing a VERY old page from my 1987 Toyota MR2 Super Charger Registry "Project Car" Page.
This page was discontinued sometime around May of 2000. So the information found here is very very old.

This Engine finally let go after doing 144 MPH in 5th gear redlined at 7,600 rpm at only 11PSI.
Please see the Death of Stage 1 Engine here.
