Anyone know this engine
Is this a good buy http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MR2-Turbo-Rev ... Swxg5X0d~n
Re: Anyone know this engine
It was being sold as a track car with a trailer, then just the car now it's being broken.
I know the turbo is a bit of a mish mash put together as was asking about it when I was looking for a turbo kit.
Other than that, I don't think it's known as a forum car.
Price wise? About right for a forged block from a known builder with proof of good compression. Otherwise it's a bit of a gamble on who has done what (all IMHO of course).
Oddly it hasn't got uprated rods which means you'd be limited to about 380 safely supposidly.... but if you wanted to go bigger power in the future you'd have to take apart again.

Do you think the CP 9:1 compression pistons are a issue, i thought we had moved away from 9:1 in favour of 8:1.
Re: Anyone know this engine
I personally went for 8:1 but it's down to preference to a degree.
