This spring marked my 13th anniversary of owning my MR2....the car has changed quite a lot over the years. I have to admit, I am madly in love with her current state of power - 335rwhp is fun on the street!! I have no intentions of opening up the stock longblock until it "pops" - then it will be time for a 2.2 stroker.
I installed a bunch of brake goods this spring: rotors, pads, synthetic fluid, stainless steel brake lines and a master cylinder brace. The pads are a bit noisy for the street but overall, the stopping power and pedal "feel" has improved tremendously.

I installed the RMR intake manifold & Wolfkatz fuel mods this past August in preparation for my AEM EMS tune. I am really lucky to have a well known MR2 driver/tuner, Vince "Talent" Fiore of Sound Performance Racing, install & tune my EMS. SP runs a very clean shop that is well known for their crazy high horsepower Supra’s & w/Vince working there, it was an easy decision to hire him to tune my car.
I’ve read for years about how proper fuel & an EMS will change your car completely & I have to admit, I was a bit skeptical. But now, after driving the car for a few months since the tune, I wish I would’ve done these mods years ago!! It’s as if the entire essence of my MR2 has changed because she is running THAT well. Now, that is a dramatic statement to make, but that is how I feel. Understand that I went from running pig-rich w/no fuel mods for the last 4 years to now having a properly tuned EMS w/supporting fuel mods. It’s literally a night-day driving difference across the engines entire power band. For those folks that are skeptical on what an EMS with the proper fuel upgrades can provide, stop waiting – buy them now. Of course, the “tune” is just as important as the EMS itself & for that, I do have to thank Vince – fair prices, cool guy & a great tuner. Thank you Vince.
Here are the results of my Stock Gen2 longblock with 130k. All dyno runs were done in 3rd gear using 93 Octane on SP's Mustang Dyno:
