yeah I know what you mean, I do all the bits myself aswell unless its engine related, garages are total rip off in my opinion, I like the satisfaction of doing it myself.![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)

[Mk2] [Turbo] Fuel computers - worth it?
anyone using a fuel computer, apexi neo or simular to reduce the AFR's on their turbo's ? I know the standard ECU runs very rich on my rev 3, a recent dyno shown low 10s on a run. the question is what kind of power can be had from trimming the fuel map down to a leaner mixture? is it worth it? I thi...

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Rattling clutch or gearbox dying??
gear changes being a bit notchy could be the linkage bushes, quite common on these cars, can get a uprated kit from GTSchris which replaces the rubber for brass, also brings a much firmer feel to them. my clutch release bearing makes a noise but only when the clutch isn't pressed.... don't know what...

Re: tubby
ah shame that mate, shouldn't be too expensive to fix, too much of a coincidence that the turbo went pop after you brought it though, any idea what caused it?

found an interesting link the other day on differences between rev 1 2 and 3 http://www.mr2turbo.info/diff.html should help with the differences and whats involved in a conversion i think it would be more cost effective buying a rev 3 engine unless you have mechanical skill, the labour involved in a...

was the lamda sensor you replaced a genuine part? I replaced mine the other week with a non genuine one and it was faulty showing, done a reading via the diagnostic port and it shown that it was constantly giving a rich reading regardless of engine speed or temperature. might be worth a shot (genuin...

Re: Dyno sheet - torque all over the place and low !
If the knock sensor had stopped working you would get an error code flash up on the dash when you bridge E1 and TE1 on the diagnostic port - see here: http://www.imoc.co.uk/forums/viewtopic.php?t=49912 Certainly worth checking the error codes stored in the ECU anyway :thumleft: just seen a strange ...
