Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] leaky charge cooler core...how to repair?

IMHO you will cut into the air-core if you cut the face highlighted. Looks like the water is contained top and bottom according to your picture. there are three segments on the top face, two on the bottom, so my guess is water flows from the water inlet pipe, to the bottom face, to the middle of the...

Re: block connectors

Yes! The Idle Control Valve is on the underside of the throttle, and needs to be working for a smooth idle. The TPS throttle position sensor also needs to be fully working and correctly adjusted if it has be moved/removed/replaced, as there is a switch contained in this that tells the ECU that the t...

Weight loss Tip of the Day for SW20 Turbo

Not sure if this has been pointed out before, but I have just weighed a Rev 1 NA starter motor from a 3SGE- it is 0.9Kg lighter than its Tubby counterpart. Direct replacement wrt bolts and terminals, and should work OK.

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Rev 3 Head on a Rev 2

rev2 rev3 spark leads are to the best of my knowledge the same - they are dizzy-cap dependent it was the rev1 that tended to have a push-on rather than clip-on lead-to-cap interface. Dizzy unit itself is exactly the same as rev2. Inlet manifold may have different support stays, have not checked this...

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Rev 3 Head on a Rev 2

I am doing the same as you with the rev2 block rev3 head. The cam-belt cover different, so too is the metal backing plate behind it. Alternator bracket is different AFAIK but should not be a problem as you do not need to change this. Word of advice on the Manifold- mine was 1.5mm out of plane, ie ve...

weight of 3sGTE engine?

anyone know how much the 3sGTE engine weighs? - obviously I would need to know what level of assembly the quoted weight refers to - ie with or without accessories (turbo, manifolds alternator, gearbox)

Many thanks.

Jay, (and later Jonno) I'm fitting a bosch pump as per your post - I'm suprised by the quoted flow rate though - seems high for such a small pump. I must test mine, but I have 2 and was contemplating running the pair in parrallel if required. I'm not convinced with the theory that you can flow too m...

Re: 9am till 4pm for £40 at North Weald Airfield - 8th Sept

I have been asked by the MGs-on-Track organisers to see if there is any interest in a joint day (at North Weald) for MG's and MR2's.

I guess there could be enough interest to be IMOC only but IMO far better to sell out quickly rather than worry about an under-subscribed event?
