Re: Decisions on what to do with this??

The engine is forged, Greddy intercooler, samco hoses etc...so don't really wanna get rid.

Surely converting an NA to turbo hits you hard on the insurance??

Re: Decisions on what to do with this??

Don't think it's a good idea to try and find one that's got gearbox failure or bottom end failure and transplant then?

Decisions on what to do with this??

Hi guys, destroyed the front end on my mr2, have checked it out and don't personally think it's fixable. Need some input as to what's best to do. Do i try to get a shell and transplant, or break for parts?? It's got a good spec, so I don't really want to break it. Will I be able to find a Mk2 Rev3 t...

Re: Rev 2 with chargecooler.

Clutch fixed today :wink:

After a lot of searching and playing with the hydraulics we managed to sort it.

Now to the steering, reckon all the expensive suspension jazz is going to want replacing!

Re: Rev 2 with chargecooler.

Paid 2.3k for it, I would have been willing to pay more if the suspension and clutch were 100 percent.

Bodywork is pretty much where it needs to be, and quite a few recent parts gone into it.

Overall I'm happy with it :thumleft:

There's mine (if it will show!). Needs some work doing on it though.

Can you clear up what turbos these acually have??? Some saying CT26, some CT20, some CT20b, some hybrid CT26!

Need to figure out how to install my turbo timer etc now (have no idea xD)

Re: Rev 2 with chargecooler.

I missed it unfortunately :/ It went for £2200 (absolute steal) Looked really nice too. Was a CT26b, CT20b seems to be a nightmare to get hold of?? I'm coming from Rover turbos, and the upgraded turbo there (garrett T28) is fairly easy to get hold of. I'm sure there must be someone out there willing...

Rev 2 with chargecooler.

Hi guys, looking at a rev 2 with a chargecooler (I think from a GT4?) Would upload a pic, but forum wont let me \:D/ Is this chargecooler a good upgrade, or better off with standard intercooler do you think? It's running a ct26b, and as far as I can tell is pretty much stock. Would making 260bhp be ...
