[Mk2] [Turbo] Midlands Engine builders for 3sgte?

Thinking of re-building my Rev 3 turbo engine. Can anyone recommend an engine machine shop in the west midlands ( live near NEC) that knows about 3sgte engines? Or engine builder?

Thanks in advance :oops:

piston comparison

So are any of the forged piston better than others? JE's, CP's or wossners ?

More specifically can one take higher intake temperatures than another?

Re: 2 x 205/45 R16 Kumho V70A Trackday tyres

Agree totally on the R888's (GG) going off after 10mins or so of racing but no such problem with the kumho (k60). They remain constant over the 40mins of racing and have'nt seen drop off with heat cycles like the 048 so far. My car is also around 300bhp and alot heavier than yours. It's going on a d...

Re: 2 x 205/45 R16 Kumho V70A Trackday tyres

So are they the K60 or K90 compound? Why did they specify Hard :-k ? Seems a bit of overkill for the track? I assume they were destined to be put on the front of the car too?

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Fitting a gt4 charge cooler to a rev3 turbo

It was an st205.

Also been trying to find an exploded view or any pics of how it fits on the gt4 or other MR2 but not had much luck. Will keep trying though.

[Mk2] [Turbo] Fitting a gt4 charge cooler to a rev3 turbo

Just bought a charge cooler and offered it up for fitting in the engine bay to find that there is no brackets to bolt it too and a few things foul. Am I missing something or is there a list of things I need to source to make this fit easier. Can't find any threads with a how to guide. So need some h...
