**The Unlikely Road Trip: A MR2's Journey to Taco Bell**

As we set out on our adventure, our trusty MR2 was looking great, both in terms of fuel pressure and overall condition. The car had been modified with some performance upgrades, but it still seemed like a perfectly streetable vehicle. However, there was one notable exception - the exhaust system did make a bit of noise, but that was about it. With a full tank of gas and a cooler full of Baja Blast, we were ready to take on the road and make our way to Taco Bell.

We had made this journey before, but not in quite as short of time as we did today. In fact, last time we drove the MR2 to Taco Bell, it took an impressive eight seconds to get there. But with some tweaks to the engine and suspension, we were now down to a blistering seven-second drive time. It was still a bit loud, but that was about all the issues we encountered.

As we drove through rush hour, the MR2 handled like a dream, making its way through traffic with ease. We even managed to avoid getting hot on the engine, which is always a plus when you're pushing your car hard. With our Taco Bell run complete, we decided it was time to head back home and do some maintenance work.

We stopped off at O'Reilly's Auto Parts to pick up some essentials - oil, filters, and a new fuel cell - as well as doing some repairs on the spot. The MR2 had come a long way since its racing days, but it still needed a few tweaks to make it truly reliable. We also took care of some other issues, including getting the headlights hooked up properly, which was a foreign success.

As we continued to work on our trusty MR2, we couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement and anticipation. With only one day left before we would fire her up for the first time, the tension was building. We had spent countless hours preparing for this moment, consulting with experts like Jeff from Exergy, who was now guiding us through the process over the phone.

The waiting game began as we finalized our preparations, including a series of tests and verifications to ensure everything was in working order. Our ECU was plugged in, and Jeff had verified that all sensors were scaled correctly. With a final check-in from our expert, it was time to fire up the MR2 for the first time.

As we cranked over the engine, the anticipation grew. We took a deep breath, waited for the signal to proceed, and held on as the computer system sprang to life. The results were immediate - the engine roared back to life, and the gauges began to spin with renewed purpose. It was a moment of pure elation, knowing that our hard work had paid off.

With the MR2 purring smoothly, we took a step back to admire our handiwork. The smoke test was next on the agenda, and we couldn't wait to see the results. As the pipe began to fill with smoke, we knew that all our efforts had been worth it. We had done it - our trusty MR2 had become a street car, capable of handling anything we threw at her.

In the end, it didn't matter about diesel prices soaring through the roof or even the diesel shortage. What mattered was that our little MR2 had finally come into its own as a reliable and powerful vehicle. We were one day closer to unleashing this beast on the world, and we couldn't wait to see what the future held for our beloved car.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enI just want to let you guys know that we restocked our k-coil covers we only had 10 of these in stock when we announced them for the giveaway and they sold real quick so I went ahead and ordered another batch and once again we will be signing all of these if you choose to have it signed we just added an option on the website to have it signed or not and I did see some comments of people wanting Wyatt to sign them so while he's not working on his race truck I'm going to make him sign these with me as well so everyone will come sign if you want it to and uh yeah I just want to let you guys know that we restocked those and every five bucks you spend on the boostedboys.com you might win an FRS foreign piece to the jet boats turbo kit is done big fancy one it's been getting that knocked out see that came out freaking sick yep Tuck's in there really nice should work pretty good for what we're trying to do yep they hand me down intercooler that never went onto the side kick getting repurposed for the jet boat here so yeah that is going to hang above the jet pump unit we'll show you guys how that goes on we got fittings on there as well so yeah the world after we get that on there it's just getting all the water lines ran and a couple final things we still got to put injectors in this thing since we're boosting it now it's still on stock injectors and then get all those lines ran like I said and yeah it's pretty close it's literally almost good for a water test yeah like tighten all the clams and seal up the exhaust deal and then it's ready that is looking pretty slick yeah I think it turned out really good we'll build a little Mount to just support the weight and then it's tucked out of the way nice and tight back there yeah that came out really good so we were debating where to put that guy for a long time we were thinking about putting it down over there but the piping and stuff would just get really kind of complicated this wasn't the easiest thing either but I just had to make a whole bunch of pie cuts and uh it ended up working out the best I think right behind the engine there I can't film too much of what's behind wide over there just blur it all out I've been working on something too well why it's been welding this intercooler it also floats it's also a pile of dude it's awesome that's all we're going to say about that squeeze in there well we found an issue this bong is not going to clear the seat it was fine but once we put a 90 degree fitting on it it barely hit like that one I'm gonna crawl in there and see how much room we're working with we're hoping we can take that guy back off and this and just do like a hard 90 into the manifold that will sit as high as this one is and keep it a little more low profile and hopefully that should work definitely not as much room in here anymore I don't know if that's gonna work dude I don't think you're fitting oh I'm fitting there I got an idea it's like let me fit a whole bunch of people in a little clown car yup that's you right now oh Lord look at this we got a leg with a flop or a slide I guess all the way on the other side of the boat oh yeah we're good yep you got that seal me up are you ready yeah where's my phone I gotta show them all right go for it just go slow in case it hits me yep got the Kyle cam how close does it get oh yeah we got a good uh probably half inch yeah yeah if we can get a tight 90 on there we should be good welcome back not too big of a deal we'll redo that and then we can get to running all the final water lines get those injectors in I already know we're there oh yeah going to the turb ski yeah we got that line coming off the manifold there into the turbo and then that guy goes into the exhaust and out the back it's getting close boys yeah yeah very close hopefully water test in the next week or so is the goal yeah I want to see it at like 350 horse just ripping be sweet yeah we have a lot of stuff coming up but really excited to get this thing out you making that hard end of the year push man trying to get all the stuff done really cool projects and I mean once your truck's running and I get the stuff for the NSX and that pilot chunk thing and I guess the sidekick needs a fresh trans but you know we just about got everything back up and running again don't say that what happened last time I'm sorry MR2 next weekend we're this weekend we're going to turn that thing up and that might be the end of that and destroy that pour yeah it's gonna be sick though maybe new PB who knows see what happens no no well guys we got the MR2 backed out here and I just want to remind you guys we will be bringing it out to Bradenton that is November 18th for the streetcar shootout that they got going on over there and then me and Wyatt are racing in the mullets race and we'll be out at Cletus and cars so be sure to come out but uh we're gonna get this thing prepped for uh Friday gotta give her a fresh oil change and just kind of go over the car we haven't touched it since we ran the 770 so it really doesn't need too much other than just to change the oil and it should be good to go top it off with fuel but before we take it out this weekend there's a good chance we might turn it up depending on who we get a race against and while it's running and driving I want to prove that she's still somewhat streetable so since we have to go get oil I figured why not take the MR2 go pick up the oil in the car itself and I'll go get some Taco Bell while we're at it just to show that the MR2 currently could still be driven as a street car it only has a five gallon fuel cell and that's going to be the limiting factor of how far it could go but still has a cooling system there's no reason I can't drive it to Taco Bell fresh off a seven second rip just how the car sits you know when we go to the bill of block one day if we end up doing that we might not have a full cooling system anymore and at that point it would be a full race car but as she sits we can still take it to Taco Bell so not only is it a for sure seven second MR2 now but we can still go get our Baja Blast and I'm going to prove that right now bring me back a Baja Blast got you foreign thank you we are looking good guys coolant temp is just over 160 it's actually running pretty cool gone about a couple miles now and everything's looking good battery's charging oil pressure looks great fuel pressure looks great she is perfectly streetable it is a little loud but other than that just like that we made it to Taco Bell can I do a number seven and then also another Baja Blast Light Ice and a burrito supreme last time I drove the MR2 to Taco Bell it was an eight second car and now it's a seven second car sorry if it was a little loud oh can I get one of the drink things I will say the MR2 is way louder than last time oh no thanks I hope so too they should be okay thank you yeah you too just like that boys seven second MR2 we can still get Taco Bell in it all right we got our Taco Bell and we just made it to O'Reilly's everything's looking great telling you boys the MR2 is just his street cars any of them out there we just need a bigger fuel cell and it is a little loud get ourselves some oil some br1 racing I wish we were sponsored by Valvoline but we're not and we need a filter it is a k n 10 10 which I'm not seeing so they're out of oil filters but I just double checked and we have some more at the house so got our oil good to go got all the Necessities in here we got our oil for the oil change got our Taco Bell the MR2 drove over no issues at all didn't even get hot like I said if we just had a bigger fuel cell on this thing it could totally be a street car but yeah guys seven second MR2 on the road and we were doing this in rush hour it was starting to get dark it's about five o'clock right now so there's a whole bunch of cars on the road but yeah let's go ahead and head home we still got the headlights hooked up foreign success we got our Taco Bell we got our oil the MR2 only got to 178 on the coolant temp the whole drive there you have it boys if you were wondering if the MR2 could still get Taco Bell even though it is a seven second race car now it's still also kind of a street car still has a cooling system still made it there no issues at all we got our Baja blasts we don't need cup holders they stayed fun in the little uh drink holder over there she's good to go dude might as well be the parts Runner we are getting close very very close I know we've said that a ton but like we're a day away from firing this thing up so right now we're currently on the phone with Jeff from exergy it is a nine o'clock at night we've been on the phone for two hours just kind of going over everything with the Bosch I'm gonna be honest this stuff is completely rocket science to me I have no idea what I'm doing with it so he's been nice enough we're screen sharing right now I've got the laptop in the truck just making sure that all the sensors are scaled right we're getting ready to crank the truck over to verify Cam and crank signal and then with that information he's going to do a little bit more on the base map and here in the next day I just got to finish up a couple things now we're going to try and fire this thing up for the first time put some distal in there and yep see what happens fill her up with thistle and uh hopefully she just pops off and sits there and Idols you got this thing running at the worst time diesel prices or through the roof through the roof right about have a diesel shortage so I'm not even gonna have fuel running on but it's whatever it's fine so yeah um Jeff said we're just about ready to crank this thing he's got it in their data logging and uh plugged in yes we're good to go are you ready Jeff yeah all right I'm gonna hit it and you said five to ten seconds all right you ready so you're just cranking it to verify that sensors and stuff just talk into the ECU yeah properly verify it's uh picking them up and uh yeah I guess we'll be in the world all right go ahead and turn her over yeah let's go all right well it did something I've got the squiggly line on there super awesome bro getting close synced up and we might just have to do one last verification of you know one make sure we have that offset set up so that the first time we go with the fuel to it um you know it knows when to fire the injectors and we can put some smoke in the pipe oh yeah dude I'm looking forward to it smoking the pipe I'm smoking the pipe dude we're freaking getting there I never thought I'd see this day it's only taking three years but we're here freaking poked it's gonna be sick foreignI just want to let you guys know that we restocked our k-coil covers we only had 10 of these in stock when we announced them for the giveaway and they sold real quick so I went ahead and ordered another batch and once again we will be signing all of
