Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] big power gains advice please
Been hearing very good things about the EFR range of turbos from Borg Warner so might be worth a look?

You will need forged Pistons before you go for big power if you haven't got them already.

Rev2 or 3?
I ignored this when it first popped up as it says Rev2 but the engine looks Rev3 as does everything else? Anyone know it?

Re: Im new to this and need advice
The best thing I did to my old 2 was to get rid of the electronic boost controller. They are a ticking time bomb waiting to damage your engine. Get rid and do it properly with an aftermarket ECU, mapped correctly.

Re: We had great fun on Sunday
I saw the vid on facebook, it looked very quick. Was shocked when you said it was totally stock power.

Re: Any MR2 Turbo Specialists in Scotland?
I would try it with the throttle fully open as that is the correct way to do it.

Re: Any MR2 Turbo Specialists in Scotland?
Are you doing the compression test with the throttle wide open?

IMOC is a Ltd. Co. So you, like any member of the public, can obtain a copy of the accounts from Co. House.
Start with server hosting fees, JAE and Japfest.
Who is/are the Director(s) of IMOC ltd?

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] my favourite modification.
Why do you have a disable badge gerbil? Just curious as even fully fit I find Mr2's hard to get out of.

Re: Rev2's vs Rev3's?
Any 3S block can crack. The early ones is usually around the waterpump and the Rev3's like to crack between the cylinders (from memory the middle 2 with the water jacket). I think I would go ultra safe even with moderate power and go for a 5S block. :thumleft: Thanks for all the advice. Rich :thumle...

Re: Rev2's vs Rev3's?
The amount of work/mods I had to do to equal/surpass what a rev3+ can do with just uped boost ... very expensive would not recommend mate.

Rev2's vs Rev3's?
What's everyone's thoughtS on Rev3 turbos being better than Rev2's? I know the 3+ have better heads, better turbos and ultimately are more tuneable than 1 and 2's. On the other hand I have also heard people say there is more of a kick from the Ct26 as the turbo has a narrower power band? There is a ...
