mr2 ecu? - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #39887 7 posts Started by rzanology
just a thought....would the mr2 ecu make any diffrence in the way the celica 5s run? What about the tranny?
Aint the 5s in a mr2 and a celica GT the same thing?
yea they are....but my cousin had a mr2. and those things act completly diffrent. i thought maybe they were geared up a lil diffrent or the ecu worked a lil diffrent.

It's because it's a midship and RWD... both are rated at 130-135 hp no? Gearing is the same, engine is mostly the same... but all in all... still the same thing.
