You did a video with DannyDC2 didn't you?

Lovely car.


Rev 5 NA block


Curious on this one, what was the reason for using a Rev5 NA (assuming 3SGE from MR2?) block for your build?

Fair enough, didn't know the NA blocks from an MR2 also had that trait like the later 5SFE's.

Perhaps I should keep hold of my block then when I convert it!

Id always use the rev5 block. I've cracked a rev2 NA block around the water pump before. every extra strength is a big plus.

Ive added a few photos

I have no plans to go above stock fuelling / ECU / Turbo + boost controller at the moment so hopefully the stock Rev3 turbo block should last, but it might be worth keeping hold of my Rev5 one in that case just in case I want to do a build in the future :thumleft:

One of the best looking stock MR2s out there.

Also had the benefit of being chauffeured in it to Barnsley magistrates court for speeding in 2005. :mrgreen:

haha cheers

I remember the grief the Advans used to get back in the 2004/2005 era... how times have changed :thumleft:

The LS460 is pure luxury... its a bit delicate and tempremental though compared to the Lexus of old :eye:

The grief they got is a good thing, that's why I managed to pick up my 16's for £180 with tyres and my 17's for ~£300 with tyres :lol:

Stunning car ! ! Can you recall the size of the of Inlet / outlet on your charge cooler core ? It looks like a perfect replacement of a ST205.

Im pretty certain it was 3" for both inlet and outlet, the celica throttle body sock was stretched on with the aid of hot water, very tight fit.

It is like a st205 cc..... on steroids :D
