Re: Ive swapped a Goose honking CT26 for a Whistling CT20b

Is this just a bolt on mod for the Rev 2 3SGTE?
Straight swap CT26 for CT20?

Or do you need the ECU / Injectors etc etc also?

Re: Correcting a spin / tailslide anyone managed it?

the mr2 doesn't allow for over-corrections though, it bites and this is how most of them are spun. This! I think this is very true. The times I've had the back step out and over-corrected is when I've ended up in trouble fish-tailing. It's just me being ham fisted and over zealous when giving it so...

Re: HELP!!! My MR2 Won't Start!

Ordered up an ECU coolant temp sensor, hopefully that will be the cause if this doesn't work I'll change the coil pack & Igniter, and after that I'm stumped! Is there a way I can test the Lambda sensor? I'd have thought this woul just cause rough idle etc tho, not sure if it would make it cut ou...

Re: HELP!!! My MR2 Won't Start!

Yeah, that might be worth a shot. I'll take a look at the vac pipes this afternoon.

Are the Coil-Pack and Igniter 2 seperate things?
Which would be most likely to be at fault?
Are there any differences across the Revs between N/A & Turbo? or Uk & Import?

Re: HELP!!! My MR2 Won't Start!

I changed all the leads, rotor arm, cap, and plugs for brand new toyota items, and the car has been fine for about a week. This morning on the way to work I was in 3rd barely on the throttle, crusing along, and the whole car jerked, revs took a dive, for no reason, very strange, for about a second, ...

Re: [Mk2] [NA] LSD gearbox or not ?

Yeah, pretty sure this "rotate the wheels with the car in the air" test doesn't work for the OEM-type diffs. I think you can check the vin number too... Look at the Tranny code - 73x if x = 4 (no-LSD) if x = 5 (LSD) But then, the original box could have been changed I guess. Only 100% sure...

Re: HELP!!! My MR2 Won't Start!

If you lay on your back under the car and look under your inlet manifold you will see an Earth wire bolted to the bottom of it, this can disable your car if corroded or even just slightly loose Is there any way to get my hand under this without having the car jacked up? Just to feel if it's loose/c...

Re: HELP!!! My MR2 Won't Start!

when you say doesnt start does it just keep turning over?? Check your Earth under the inlet manifold, this can give lots of starting problems, and then check all the other earths as well. Thanks, I'll try this out, I picked the car up the next morning (quite a bit warmer) started first turn of the ...

Re: HELP!!! My MR2 Won't Start!

Yeah, it does sound like it's related to the starting/ignition system somewhere.

I just woudln't have thought it's dizzy / plugs / leads / rotor arm related if I am getting a spark?

Maybe a sensor?

HELP!!! My MR2 Won't Start!

Hi Folks, Wonder if you can help, having a few urgent problems with the car starting. It's a Rev2 MR2 Turbo. These problems have only really seemed to have started since I fitted a GReddy SMIC (Although this could be coincidence). Seems to be whenever it's cold, it occasionally just won’t start (for...

[Mk2] [Generic] Caliper Slider Pin: Rubber O-Ring

Hi guys, My front caliper has begun to bind again, I took them it off and free'd it off again - looks like the lower slider pin was siezed, and the rubber o-ring type arrangment on the end of the slider was worn and twisted. I think new o-rings are cheap from Toyota, but at the moment I have put it ...

This is hands down, the nicest looking MR2 I have ever seen! I can only imagine the financial strain it must have put you under, but it is worth it. And at the end of the day...you can always pay it back. I just can't imagine even sourcing half of that stuff! Never mind having the money to pay for i...
