[Mk2] [Turbo] My little MRPOO 2 project

[joola89]

Hi guys,

It's been a while since here and its been a while since I driven my MR2 (3 years). After a few money spent, my tubby started first time and passed its NOT first time too.

I'm after for some more excitement. I want more power to keep up with modern cars.

I have this idea....
Project MRPOO 2.

GT2860rs
High lift cams.
Fuel pump
Injectors
All filters changed
Oil and water pump changed(?)
A sensible map + fcon?
New wheels

Total spent so far...
Tyres 320
Battery 75
and lots of coffee and elbow grease to clean my car, twice!

My question is....
Which type of cams would benefit from the turbo, or not even bother with changing the cams... or vice versa.
Or perhaps my question is... what would you not bother with and do this instead? I'm open good open opinion. Lol

So far my tubby has benefited from breathing mods, 3" Decat exhaust, air filter and a little more boost. Oh... It's a rev3 engine.

You aren't going to get that much of an increase in overall performance from the disco potato than you would on the stock ct20b. It's an expensive change for not a whole lot of extra horsepower.

Cams, fuelling and aftermarket ECU will extract more power everywhere though. Didn't see an intercooler in your list so you will need one of those.

Oh yeah, I do have a aftermarket intercooler.

I thought so, with the disco turbo after some homework. I was. thinking to get a new turbo as my turbo has 150k miles on it and still going. Lol. Just thinking of the benefits of steel internals over ceramic.

What would you recommend?
I don't know which direction to go... I'm not aiming for silly power. Would settle for 320ish bhp. I suppose a good map would achieve that?

There is a GT28 that will do 400HP

A friend's car was running a dyno proven 400hp on a GT2860RS.
