Judging by the wing, i would say that its an 89 - 93 SW20, possibly AUDM. KW would depend on if it's been tuned etc. It would be running a standard CT26 turbo. I think 118kw was stock for the earlier models but i could be mistaken

Car appears to be an original JDM Turbo with Australian Spec Indicatos Installed, but could wel be a conversion. Judging by an old MR2 Article I am looking at http://i275.photobucket.com/albums/jj293/tommicoulda4d/picture1370ba.jpg Weight: 1296kg Power: 149.1kw (converted from 200hp) The above car also has an aftermarket exhaust, could have other bolt ons too.

Thanks guys!
What I would really like to confirm though is that the engine is not the one used in the later model mr2's which produced ~180kw?

Its not possible to tell that by the info and picture you have provided as it is very possible it could of had a later model dropped in at at some time.
It does appear that it is an earlier example, so if its the original engine it should have the earlier generation (less powerful) Rev2 Engine.
If you could get a picture of the engine bay it would help

A '91 (as you've indicated) model MR2 3S-GTE would have 225ps/165kw as standard, 200hp is what the US models had.
As mentioned above, more details and preferably pics would be needed to help any further.

Thanks for your answers so far!
I'm going to have a look at the MR2 tomorrow afternoon and I'll take a few shots of the engine bay so I can get more help. If the car is in good nick I would like to offer the guy cash for it.
Do you guys know of any things I can check to be 100% sure what type the engine the car has? Basically the car cant be over 125kt/t. (Yes, it's exemption time) Also, as most of you I assume are MR2 enthusiasts, what are some common signs of wear to check for?
So far these are the only figures I can find~
Power (P) = 200hp~149.13kw
Weight (W) = ~1200kg
kw/t= (P)/(W) * 1000
kw/t= 149.13/1200 * 1000
kw/t=124.275
:. is under 125kw/t. BIG THUMBS UP!
Are these figures correct, or am I dreaming? Cheers!

If youre going for the exemption, i believe you need a letter from toyota indicating the exact kurb weight and exact factory power output. If you just email toyta with the vin number and get the exact specs, which will allow you to get the exemtion.
Also I believe that it has to be pretty stock engine wise as cops wont like you upgrading it

Your power figure is wrong. As Senor_2 mentioned they come with 165kw. jlee165

All 91' turbo's come with 165kw stock? The car located on this page seems identical to the picture (Yes thats a stupid comparison), and is telling me the car has 200hp stock? This site here is telling me they are 111kw stock and a few of you are saying they are 165kw stock. Is there a way to be 100% sure what the specs are?
Sorry to be a pain

111kw would be non turbo
165kw Gen2 turbo
180kw Gen3 turbo
As said if you have a pic of the engine bay we can tell you what it is

Okay sounds good.
Is there any simple way for me to tell during the time I'm looking at the car?

stock ones:
Early engine has air flow meter, TOYOTA wording on valve cover, metal plaque on plenum (TWIN ENTRY CERAMIC TURBO - cant recall exact words), TVIS (8 runners off plenum), ignition leads "loose" over valve cover. CT26 on turbo compressor.
Later (gen3) engine has no AFM, small sticker on plenum, plastic catch can, no TVIS (4 runners off plenum), ignition leads in plastic tube bolted to valve cover. Toyota on turbo compressor.
There are a few other items that escape me now.
Cheers

The 200hp car in the link above is an American car. Forget about that one. So its either 165 or 180 being from the Japanese market. 165KW Gen 2  180KW Gen 3
