Re: MR2 turbo wont boost over 10psi? misfires

No cel flashes, cant check for codes without faffing around with flashing LEDs apparently. Running Vpower, unknown uprated tubby Although sometimes the Traction control "TRC" warning light comes on and wont go until i restart the engine.. Don't think thats related to the misfire I had tho...

Re: [FINALIZED] Mk2 Rev3 V6, 61k miles

Hi Rich, the headwork involves getting the head's removed and the inlet and exhaust ports polished and ported. A good write-up of the work involved with the V6 conversions can be found somewhere in here:

Re: [Mk2] [NA] rev3 na de-cat and induction kit

I had a noticable improvement when fitting a decat to my old N/A engine - The car made 178bhp on the rollers (up from the original 177 when it was manufactured) but the K&N kit made absolutely no difference at all. (On and off rollers).

The silicone and clingfilm method works a treat, but be sure to use black sealant if you can find it :)

Re: [Mk2] [NA] Brake problem? :(

Definately sounds like a sticky brake caliper :) If you've managed to get smoke to come out of it too, I would thoroughly recommend changing your front brake pads along with fixing / replacing the front caliper as you'll have uneven wear on your O/S and N/S. If you get the caliper yourself (http://w...

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Rev1 will not start - Cough/splutter/die!

Perhaps if the engine was run with very little fuel then any crap from the tank has been sucked through the fuel filter and is subsequently blocking it?

I know this was an issue on older cars (i.e. Mini) but not a clue about the MR2!

Re: Tintop Rev3 Mr2 - Ideal for Track project £500

Rash, if you (or any other IMOC member) ends up stripping it for bits then please let me know as I'll be interested in the Eibach springs and alloys (and the shocks / topmounts if they are in a good condition).

Cheers :thumleft:
