Re: S148 from Turbo Technics

Don't waste money on a catch can, stock one is decent. I suggest fitting a breather to the oem one, or just routing it to the floor (what I do), and blocking up intake hole. That way you can rule out crankcase gases at least and costs you very little to nothing as opposed to fitting a restrictive cr...

Re: Rev4 Turbo *mini photoshoot*

well decision has been made to return the mr2 to a little closer to stock, sell off a few bits and get it daily ready for when its needed.... im planning to still use it, take to shows and insure it, as my new car went on a classic insurance which meant i didnt have to give up any NCB.

Re: Car wont start - recommend a mechanic/garage

Did your mechanic check for a spark at the plugs? Or coil?

A bad coil or poor ground at the igniter can cause a bad spark issue.

Yeh is a tricky one, I feel I've exhausted what I can do without going to the crazy step and creating a monster. It's ready for someone to just enjoy or do minor tweaks to their own preferences. I wanted to make sure everything was strong and tip top before actually sticking it up, I've done a good ...

Re: S148 from Turbo Technics

it is a good idea to keep an eye on AFRs with a gauge. gen3 ecu runs very lean in the midrange on high boost, and i would guess this is why many cars end up cracking piston rings. i ran water/meth for a long time, now dont, but i also upped fuel pressure to help this mid range area. i now also run a...

Do you have the correct switch on the back of the controller?

There’s an internal and external wastegate option.

Re: Markstevieandmads Budget Turbo Project: PART TWO

If you cant see or hear cc water flowing, then you have some air in the system somewhere downstream.

I had a similar situation, no leaks, all hooked up fine, turns out just needed to bleed the pre rad a little more.
