![]() The result is a wider power band with increased performance.”Ĭustomisation of the factory ECU, using Ecutek software, allowed MRT to tailor power delivery to suit the characteristics of the engine around the bolt-on twin-charger. ![]() Power comes on immediately and continues with a strong flat torque curve with the combination of the supercharger and turbocharger. “This is why we recommended the Bullet / Sprintex Supercharger and the AVO Turbo kit to get the best of both worlds. “We have been building fast modified road cars for a lot of years here at MRT and understand what ROH wanted from 86 Project: a better, faster and improved version of an already dynamic car but still reliable to drive everyday” explained Middleton. MRT Performance spokesperson, Brett Middleton, says that in spite of the additional power the 86 remains an easy everyday driver with immediate power and a linear torque curve. Interestingly, approximately 165kW (123kW at the wheel, where the standard 86 produces 110kW) was achieved using just the Ecutek chip tune. With an emphasis on stepping up torque rather than kilowatts, the 2.0-litre boxer engine pumps out a solid 184kW, along with 310Nm measured at the hubs to give a more accurate reading than a normal at-the-wheel figure. Built as a collaborative effort between ROH Wheels and MRT Performance, the supercharged and turbocharged Toyota coupe is set to address criticisms of the model’s straight-line performance issues. The world’s first twin-charged production 86 has rolled off the hoist in Sydney.
