well it turned out to be No3 bearing. 6hrs on my back replacing end bearings which was ok for all of a few mins then knock knock who's there again. After 12 or 13yrs of MR2 ownership it has come to the end. I can't be ar$ed changing engine or rebuilding it. Now i'm the owner if a super fast 1.8L Hon...

4 turbos over around 14 years 1st to go was a blitz came with car but car had been raced to edge of death. I know this as the engine blew up on return journey from buying car. :lol: 2nd to go was a ct26 3rd to go hybrid ct26 If this one has gone then its another hybrid ct26 1st 3 were oil seals. wil...

ok thanks, will have a little look at it the weekend. I really wasn't in the best of moods to look into it when it went clatter, well not without a 10lb lump hammer :lol: I guess its easier to find a turbo than replace the engine. :D For once i will be glad its just the turbo, will be turbo number 4...

doh, he deleted the videos. I messaged him to see if it was the turbo and if he did ever find out what made the knocking noise etc. as part of his last post was "What I can't figure out is what was causing the horrible knocking - I wouldn't presume that a blown turbo could make those noises? An...

yeah, that's whats completely puzzling me. Bearings if gone are pretty much constant and worse when rev'ed.

Totally wierd

Ok so i went out Friday night and on the way back i gave it a little throttle and that's where it all went Pete Tong :lol: Clatter, Clatter and some blue smoke. So I slowed right down and dipped clutch, clatter goes away, only on sort of just above driving miss daisy acceleration does the clatter co...

Not sure if you'll get much more power out of a hybrid ct20 though

What makes you think that? The stage 5 one i had off someone made 480bhp with obviously alot of other upgrades it also had a dyno print out.

why go cellulose when 2k paint is fair superior? Plus 2k doesn't require a clear coat

Get a set from ebay or someone stripping a car. Didn't cost me anything as I got them off a mate.

Take off steering wheel cowling, take off steering wheel, undo 4 screws, follow wires and unplug them, remove, fit new ones. simple job.

i had PS issue, it wasn't the relay or normal things to look for. It was the indicator stalks. There is a sensor in them that sends signal to PS. Replaced them and was fine again.

In 20 years i have yet to swap the kickwell loom on any turbo conversion, just repin the engine harness to suit, far less likelyhood of other issues occuring. Also you can simply use the NA gear cables with the addition of a simple 12mm spacer on the gearbox cable bracket, no need to buy turbo cabl...

MrTwos, may have one if not he knows a guy who can get hold of stuff pretty easily.

07812 506 772.

Yes that's the one. change it for a REV1 turbo. Get hold of the gear linkage cables before you put the engine in. So much easier to change when engines out....... i found out the hard way LOL

You have the turbo drive shafts, rear hubs and dash clocks?

Turbo gear linkage cables are different to n/a cables

Presuming you are using the turbo gearbox as well?

just change the passenger side foot well loom the goes from front to back. You will also need the gear linkage cables.

me think pbmr2 isn't long for this world. He knows the car and the road well so i can do triple figures at the apex. Ummmmm now formula one drivers know their cars and know the tracks so how come off the track or plant themselves into the barriers? :-k :-k :-k :-k I'm guessing they do it on purpose ...

Banned trader and over priced on everything he does.

sealant, dont even think Toyota do a gasket for the pan

After being with them for 5yrs i moved away from them. Every year it went up but £60-£100 via renewal email. Phoned them and they lowered it to same as previous year. But this year even a comparison website blew them out of the water. Just ask them where they can find one with similar specs for £350...
