Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Rebuild - 500 HP CANDY RED MR2

I enjoy looking at the pics to be fair. Curious why he's blocked off the cam cover breather though? I know there's after one over the other side but with the predicted power think I'd have left that one and welded on a -10 fitting to run braided lines to the catch can.

Re: What subs you got? homemade or any active subs that fit ?

Depends how its set up. I have a 10" jbl sub in mind but I've set it so it fills the low end but doesn't detract from the kids/ treble.

Re: The journey of one man and his Mule(s)

Damn Phil. Not good. I've only had something like that happen once and fortunately it was a washer and didn't so any serious damage. Hope it all gets sorted ok. Like you say if its 80hp down on what you thought then it should be a monster with the correct engine. I agree. These cars arnt about power...

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] aftermarket intercooler heat issue

Hi chaps. Havent ran one of these ebay side mount intercoolers before. Bit worried about the heat its passing on. The cooler itself is set up on the shroud and sits nicely. But the outlet pipe to the engine inlet is too hot to touch after a run out. As that is the cool side I expected better. Std c...

Re: BMIC (Boot Mount Intercooler)
