Has anyone ever tested 'uprated' side mount coolers against the standard cooler back to back regarding inlet temps, and/or pressure drops? Been discussing intercoolers a lot recently and there are a lot of different thoughts! Would be great if anyone has tested a cheaper cooler (like JP Performance)...

Right I have finally got it all sorted tonight!! As above I have not had any problems with the knock sensor after replacing with a genuine sensor, and new screened wiring earthed to the bulkhead next to the ECU. Even though I wasn't getting any codes I still had a massive hesitation at about 5000 rp...

I have taken my drivers side rear light out as it was loose. Turns out that the plastic frame is cracked so I am going to attempt to glue it tomorrow. The clips that sit on the back of the light (library picture below) have broken. Is there anywhere I can buy these? Done a bit of searching but had n...

Did you resolved this? Mine overboosted the other week to 1.36bar, fuel cut kicked in and the ECU brought up the code 52 knock sensor error. I reset the ECU but each time I blipped the throttle (at standstill) it would bring up the error code again. I've since fitted a new Denso knock sensor (which...

I have ordered mine direct and is now on it's way. He has just made a batch of 12 22pin versions (one of which is now mine) so probably worth speaking to him about batch size if the group buy is going ahead. I have taken myself off the list. 1. SteveH 2. l1ca 3. Dariunas 4. Angpozzuto 5. Dylan5084 6...

Yes I am thinking this may be the way forward....
I get paid next week so will if I haven't managed to get anywhere by then I will give him a call.

Finally managed to get the pressure test done today, tester was a bit worse for wear so needed some adjustment to the adaptor to work correctly! Side vents proved very useful for this test! http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e51/benfacer/IMAG02851_zps20gcozxh.jpg All seems OK..... Static is about 39p...

What makes you think it's the fuel pump? I'm not convinced. I am thinking it is the fuel pump as it seems like it is struggling at higher revs/demand. The problem now occurs at about 5500 rpm, and when running in limp mode it seemed OK (less boost, less demand). The ignition system (arm, cap and le...

I am coming to the same conclusion androo007

I have managed to borrow a fuel pressure tester so will see what it's doing...
I have heard the fuel pump change is a b#tch of a job but would rather go through that than a blown engine!!

Yes it is the lower steel bit I am talking about.
Cheers Danbob!

I am looking for a replacement sump for my Rev 3 turbo and have come across one for sale that looks really good. The guy selling it says that it is from a JDM turbo, and he has had it fitted to his UK N/A (without the level sensor) I was under the impression that the N/A and turbo sumps where differ...

I was under the impression that the Rev 3 was less sensitive to octane rating? I have been running it only on Shell Vpower anyway just to be on safe side!

Shell V power

Had some development today! Got my sparky friend to run in a new cable with me which initally didn't make any difference. I had my origional knock sensor fitted at the time. I changed this to the pattern sensor on my lunch but this didn't make any difference :evil: When I got home I had the ECU apar...

No unfortunatly I am very new to the MR2 scene so don't think I know anyone with a ECU I can borrow.

Anyone on here from the Leeds area that could lend me a ECU to try? I am happy to travel a bit and try it at your location.

Is this going ahead? I contacted Jean-françois before I saw this thread as I wanted one of these asap. He is currently making the next batch so it is going to be a couple of weeks until they are available. I mentioned to him about this group buy but he has not got back to me yet. If this can be orga...

Hi Nic thanks for the reply. No there is no boost gauge fitted. It did feel fast on the test drive, but I have had a diesel for a while now so that isn't a surprise! I do have a boost gauge that I could fit, but cannot get full boost due to limp mode (maybe at lower revs). I might try this but it do...

Forgot to add I got a timing light on it and it is 10deg BTDC as per manual with the diagnostic bridged.

I have manged to get spark plug 3 out and it is also 140PSi ......
