2ZR Turbo Swapped 1985 Toyota MR2

This car belongs to my good friend Tyler Burchett. It was previously a high compression NA 2ZR, which died from too much time at 8400RPM on stock rod bearing clearances. It spun a bearing at Hallett with no oil pressure issues. The car needed to be repaired for 2024 SCCA Rallycross Nationals, and the only spare motor I had on hand had a turbo bolted to it already. Tyler is the best durability tester I know, so I let him take that motor. He drove the car to Alabama, won a trophy at Rallycross Nationals, and drove the car home to Texas.
