Description
Fits all 2000-05 MR2 Spyder (MR-S, MRS) models with 2ZZ engine swap. Fits fine with 2ZZ engine sourced from Celica or Corolla/Matrix donor.
We have a limited number of MP62 kits available, being offered at a special discounted price. A great value for your dollar, these kits will likely sell out fast.
This kit does not fit any other 2zz applications – separate specific kits with upgraded TVS900 supercharger are available for Celica GTS, Matrix/Corolla/Vibe 2ZZ, and MR2 Spyder 2ZZ. TVS900 kits will make slightly more power at same boost level but also offer option of different boost levels.
Are you ready for the next level of Bolt-On performance for your 2ZZ Swapped MR2 Spyder?
Introducing Monkeywrench Racing’s 2ZZ supercharger kit; a bolt-on solution that adds tons of fun out of the box. This kit is the perfect compliment to the high revving 2ZZ, adding instant throttle response, addicting torque over the entire power band, and plenty of top end power. This kit can be installed with the engine in the vehicle; typical install time is 6-8 hours of labor and only common hand tools are required. The kit is non-intercooled, so you won’t need to worry about coolant lines or tube routing in the cramped MR2 engine bay and install is greatly simplified. Install is also much simpler than for a turbo system.
Featuring a Magnuson MP62 Supercharger designed to MWR’s specifications, this kit makes 7-8 PSI of boost, good for use without an intercooler on premium 91+ octane gasoline though if you’ll be running on 91 octane in hotter climates we do recommend our TVS kit with low boost pulley for additional margin of safety. The supercharger’s factory fill of oil is rated for 100,000+ miles; no other maintenance is required.
Standard power of stock 2ZZ installed in MR2 Spyder: 170-190hp (depends on intake, header, ECU type)
Power output with MWR MP62 2ZZ supercharger: 235-260hp (depends on intake, header, ECU type)
We do not offer alternate pulleys for the MP62 supercharger, it is intended to be run at its standard power level only and 91 or higher octane fuel is required. For multiple pulley options allowing ultra conservative lower boost or higher boost for 93+ octane and more aggressive tuning, check out our TVS900 kits.
Kit includes:
- Magnuson MP62 supercharge with standard 86mm pulley
- MWR cast aluminum inlet and outlet manifolds
- MWR custom supercharger brace
- MWR alternator relocation brackets and wire harness
- Gates top quality belt, specially sized for the application
- NGK performance spark plugs
- All required installation brackets and hardware
- Silicone sealant
- Installation instructions
Needed to complete the install (sold separately!):
Engine management – tuning is required with this supercharger upgrade. If you already have a Power FC or MWR ECU Master Black or eManage Ultimate then you’re all set, just let us know and we can email you a tune.
Simplest and least expensive standalone option is the Power FC (manual transmission only). It plugs right in and works great. We’ll even preload the tune for you. If you want to do additional tuning on your own we recommend buying the Datalogit tuning cable separately.
For a feature rich standalone ECU with lots of extra features but somewhat more complex tuning, choose the MWR ECU Master Black. When you select that option with this purchase we also include the Plug N Play harness and the required wideband O2 sensor kit.
A simpler option which also maintains full OBD2 functionality is the GReddy eManage Ultimate. It is the most powerful piggyback system that’s ever been available and handles the tuning for this application very well. When you select this option we include a pretuned eManage Ultimate main unit plus Plug N Play harness.
Many other standalone systems are capable of working with this kit but require custom install and tuning and MWR provides no wiring or base map support for these options.
Injectors – All of our base tunes are configured for MWR 525cc injectors. If you already have injectors and will be doing your own tuning, anything 440cc or higher will work. You will have to alter tuning to suit injectors other than the 525’s. Fuel pump upgrade is NOT required.
Clutch – Driven gently, a stock 2ZZ clutch will sometimes work, for a while at least. It is recommended that you upgrade to a good street clutch like Exedy ST1.
Dyno results
Some examples of results we’ve seen on our dyno. Stock 2ZZ naturally aspirated swap for baseline, vs MWR supercharger kit installed all on a stock 2ZZ engine with tuning as noted. Numbers are horsepower measured at the wheels; add 13% or so to get crankshaft hp ( for example, 215hp at the wheels on our dyno = 250hp at crankshaft). Your numbers will vary significantly with different bolt on modifications, weather, fuel types and different dyno types.
The first graph demonstrates results with a standalone ECU. Power FC or ECU Master Black will produce the same exact output and drivability. VVT and VVL are optimized and rev limiter is increased slightly producing optimal power curve and smooth driving.
Second graph is the result with piggyback. If you are on a tighter budget and/or are in an area where full OBD2 functionality is required then this is the option for you. The car still runs well and pulls hard but without the ability to optimize VVT and VVL, output is somewhat lower and not quite as smooth. There is generally no check engine light on as long as tune is good but due to variations in modifications and vehicles we cannot guarantee this.
