[Mk2] [NA] My 3VZ-FE V6 Swap

Although I'm not doing the swap myself (lack of time & facilities) Paul @ Woodsport is. I thought I would post up progress pictures anyway. :) CTM headwork,3 angle valve job, porting, polishing, flowbenching and reshimming..... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v624/paddy1970/woodsport2/poohshea...

Glad you resolved this and I'm happy my advice from elsewhere was useful...I cured mine by fitting a replacement subframe :)

Re: [All] [Generic] Interested in JDM Toyota Workshop manuals translated to english??

The books are all already available from Toyota in English anyway.

I myself have books that cover 3S-GE, 3S-FE, 3S-GTE, & 5S-FE

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] No Confidence

I have completely replaced all of my suspension components with either new or uprated parts and I think this makes the biggest difference...along with driving style. In my experience, you get the best out of our mid engined rear wheel drive cars, if you get your braking and gearchange over and done ...

Re: [Mk2] [Generic] Fusebox Covers (Mirror Stainless)

Hi Matt, The problem is the minimum order quantity to get that price is 20 of each so the cost to me initially would be well over £600 which is a big risk. And if I'm honest I'm not sure I would pay £40 for a pair myself, so I'm guessing peole who are less free with their money than I am will baulk ...

Re: [Mk2] [Generic] Fusebox Covers (Mirror Stainless)

Right...there has been a slight set back with these as the cost of having the tops engraved would mean me having to charge £40 for a pair to make it worth while + I woluld have to stump up the cost of having 20 of each made which to be honest without guarantees of selling them I'm not prepared to do...

Re: [Mk2] [NA] Changing the cut in of the T-VIS to a different RPM

Hmmm it just so happens that the 5200 rpm that the ACIS opens at is the same point at which torque and brake horsepower cross on a dyno sheet....wonder if there is any significance in this.

Re: [Mk2] [Generic] Fusebox Covers (Mirror Stainless)

Thanks for that, so far they are identical to my drawing so it's looking good for only having to have one sort of engraving.

Re: [Mk2] [NA] Changing the cut in of the T-VIS to a different RPM

BTW...it's not T-VIS on an NA it's ACIS and it works in a completely different way to the T-VIS on turbo cars and MK1's. Basically T-VIS has a switchable set of butterflys which double the number of intake runners feeding the cylinders fro 4 to 8. ACIS has a switchable set of butterfly's which incre...

Re: [Mk2] [Generic] Fusebox Covers (Mirror Stainless)

Hi peeps, Bit of an update, I've done the Autocad drawings of the covers.... see below, just waiting for prices at the moment, for lazer cutting and etching. Can someone check out their Rev3 + fuseboxes and turbo fuseboxes and let me know any differences in the legends please. http://i16.photobucket...

Unfortunately I don't own a turbo so don't have a firewall shield to use as a pattern, maybe someone who has can make one.

Re: [Mk2] [Generic] Falken ZE-912, new option in stock 15" sizes?

Well I have the 512s on my gt tdi golf & they're awful. Just ok in the dry but no grip in the wet. They were cheap tho & should last at least 20k. So unless they're significantly better I'd steer clear tbh, especially on an MR2. Hmmmmm strange that...I have them on the rear of my two and th...

A few people have suggested that I also manufact...
