Re: 3SGTE T-Bar Turbo Forged Build/Restoration

Tested the speed sensor and it is working, so next step is to disconnect the kmh/mph converter, if that has no effect it can only be a faulty speedo or if I'm majorly unlucky a damaged wire somewhere.

I will report back with this

rev counter/ speedo issue

Today I have removed the gearbox speed pulse generator (speed sensor) as pictured http://i612.photobucket.com/albums/tt205/jamieshaler07/Mobile%20Uploads/20150927_141609_zpslo8kvwev.jpg I will bench test this now to try and get to the bottom of my speedo problem which seems very common. If this is n...

[Mk2] [Turbo] Can you bench test a MR2 Speedo Unit?

Got a problem with my rev gauge not moving at all, I think the speedo works but can't remember 100% as it's not been driven much as a bought it as a project. What I want to know is, is there a way to test the Rev gauge and/or speedo to check the motors haven't failed? Can I hook them up at some conn...

[Mk2] [Turbo] DTA Stand Alone ECU Tuning Recommendations?

As the title suggests I'm looking for recommendations for a tuner (closer the better to Coventry) to have a play with my DTA ECU. Am i right in thinking an average 'mapper' wouldn't really have much knowledge with this? Does anyone know if Rogue Motorsport do ECU tuning of stand alone units? I have ...

3SGTE T-Bar Turbo Forged Build/Restoration

Thought I'd post a build/restoration project thread to keep track of everything that is/is going to be done on a MR2 Turbo I picked up recently. So the car is a interesting one as it is forged and comes with a wod of paperwork equalling a staggering amount that the previous owner spent on it, then f...

Re: Scrap the charge cooler for a intercooler?

The pre rad is up front roughly where the aircon rad would be if it was still fitted. I didn't fit the system but i did notice the pre rad had a Ford logo on it so not sure what it's off tbh. I have a rolling road claim of 360 bhp with print out for this car so if the charge cooler is contributing t...

Scrap the charge cooler for a intercooler?

Considering doing the above, what's in the title... Bought a big build turbo which I'm restoring but want some advice on the charge cooler set up, it's the st185 by the way. Seems a lot of weight/hassle/clutter but I don't know the intake air temp drops over the intercooler, are they massive? Will i...

Just find it strange how someone could spend £18k on a car then just leave it to rot lol

Anybody know member "llenrub" 350 bhp+ mr2?

I think I have his old car which had a fair bit of money spent on it, then was left for some reason.

Would just like to find some background info on it :)
