Had a few problems on the day, I blew the turbo to manifold gasket which may have caused the fuel cut problems, or the fact that it was a very hot day and my oil temps were soaring. Time for an oil cooler methinks, what sort of oil temps should I be seeing after giving it some welly?
@ 108mph, but I should be seeing 12s easily, I put this down to the aforementioned issues and the fact my head is totally stock... Although that is being amended very soon Rogues old car if I'm not mistaken, a LONG time ago though
good pics too! .. there is someone on the usa board with a stock head + cams and inlet! but running a 3076r + c16 hitting 10.88 and pushing 450odd whp! Paul @ Kent Car Craft wrote:

Thats high! I must check mine when dragging! I'm also getting some very extensive headwork done, I'd like to see 450bhp.
Temp taken via my Defi gauge and fully forged engine.- winners of JAE best overall club stand 2010, 2013, 2014 & 2017!1994 GT-S T-Bar 397bhp with NOS *sold*2016 Porsche Cayman 981GTS 347bhp Flat Six I'm really pleased with the looks, the IC was designed with performance, looks AND practicality in mind I still have most of the boot free! The boot floor has been re-structured to accomodate a scoop. I'm considering CO2 spray for it to cure heat soak as obviously there is only air-flowing through it when I'm on the move! It has no fan at present as I didn't see it necessary at the time, air-flow is probably huge whilst moving. Still one of the best looking MR2s around IMO! You won't recognise the engine bay though!
loving it. would you mind? In no way whatsoever does the IC look "stuck on"
Definitely the meanest looking

i was thinking of building a rep of it we will see.

.. what I thought was simply a gasket blowing, turned out to be a little more serious! When we went in to inspect the problem, we found this! Poor design really as this flimsy little pipe supports the weight of the wastegate and the screamer. there is a new adaptor on it's way, but we're going to have to brace the screamer to avoid it happening again, the car's only done 1,500 since being mapped.
