small update.
bodywork is done
sort of final assembly + working bits out.
Will add some photos once I work out how to do it again
we put it on the corner scales again soon.
Not much to update. Getting closer to sending it off for wiring and mapping. Still not sure when, still to decide on ECU. Purchased a brand new 3.4 stroker gte bottom end, SRD are now putting a brand new vvti gte head with the upgrades they normally do, bit of exhaust porting aswell. The engine is b...
Car is still in the making work has really got in the way sadly. Maybe in march i can pick this back up properly. Need to get a loom manufactured, unsure on the best way to go as yet, i may end up striping the dash and removing every thats not needed maybe removing all the wiring except for the fina...
Still ongoing. Back to work so the last few months have been slow.
Upgraded Gearbox is here, clutch still on order.
Fuel cell in the making.
Still a long way to go probably next summer at the way work is.
Ill try to update some pictures but dont really enjoy trying to upload pictures here
So ive updated the title as its fairly official now. Ive not released any videos and only a couple of pictures as teasers. Im planing on making the 2jz run about 700 or 800 whp. Will end up mainly a straight line car, however looking at a 50/50 weight distribution on the mr2. Engine and gearbox are ...
So im back. Been looking around for months for a project car, was tempted to go RX7 but the 10k outlay with bodywork required seems expensive. So ive picked up a rev 3 NA Auto, Looking at its mot history it has been well kept, something went on in 2006 probably when it was imported? Mileage was rese...
The g25 660 was a good turbo. Small ar would have saved 300 rpm maybe. Egt were fine even without meth at 1.6bar 440 whp. Circa 700 degrees. I would expect to see 1.9 bar at 4500 but to be honest I think you would kill something or run into problems with the torque being in so fast. Progressive boos...
Good luck mate don't think it will be an issue when you can rev it out. From 1st gear to 5th going to the limiter you will be In the boost through the gears so it won't be slow. However wanting power pre 4k rpm is something these little 2 liters do not produce if you want 500 bhp. 4k to 8k rpm is pl...
Thanks for all the support and help on here. Car sold to a guy called sean. Felt like the perfect buyer genuinely nice guy. Sadly I doubt I will own another 18 odd years in mr2 ownership with also the missus saying she has had enough of them, 2kids which will lead me to a skyline or supra again down...
Hi mate, well it potentially being collected tomorrow strange times with all that's going on both cars have sold in the time when I expected nothing to happen.
Will update this tomorrow about 10am probably
So pretty much everything is back to how it was and improved on some parts, relocation of a engi e fan to below the turbo and almost level with the sump. Which is odd but it works very well. Oil pressure senor is still all over the place, reading 0to 10 bar. So I'll be getting this out and replaced....
Hi mate couldn't honestly say but it works very well. It spools 750rpm faster then my gt35.82 which made 490 @ 1.6 bar.
So similar power levels at 1.6bar. just shifted in the rev range.
At 1.85 bar was its most efficient area at 569.
