I'm looking for a new side mount intercooler for my rev 2 turbo any advice on decent one to go for?

I've found a local mr2 specialist near me that I'm dropping the ECU off to tommorow so he's going to have a look and fix it hopefully It's strange how it's been running recently had high idle engine light flickering but never cut out untill last night it literally fired up ran low idle and really lu...

Just a quick update I found a guide on how to remove the ECU and check capacitors I have found that capacitor c810 which is idle control I beleive is leaking and on the small board capacitor c512 has been leaking bad as it has traveled down the board (lines) I'm no good at soldering so I'm guessing ...

Definitely check those capacitors, even if they just look like they're getting a little puffy I would replace them.

How do you check capacitors ? My engine has just cut out after I started it ram lumpy for a few seconds flickering engine light then died and now it gets to start but it won't

Ok thanks mate appreciate that , it's good info to know , my car is completely standard as it is and does have a few issues like the smoking and boost doesn't seem to be right I have thought about a rev3 engine swap however it's trying to find a decent one with the loom and all t he bits you need et...

Right I'll be buying some service items tonight , I'll buy oil , oil filter , plugs , coolant, petrol filter , I think I'll go with Fuchs titan pro race 10w40 people seem more keen on using as for coolant what do you use? Plugs I'll go with irridium heat range 7 I get a little Mayon in my oil cap bu...

Well if it is the head gasket I might aswell forge it while the engine is open? I haven't had it long it had been standing for a long time so I just don't where to start it needs new brakes needs a service etc now the head gasket might be on the way out im not sure where to begin to be honest Does t...

Thanks for the info mate it's just one of them annoying things that could be a number of things if the capacitors are failing what would be a fix ? I would be surprised if it was the head gasket as it's been a standard car all its life and only on 72k If my turbo is blown I was thinking of going dow...

My rev 2 turbo seems to smoke when idling not masses of smoke it looks like what you get in a cold morning however once warmed up if I take it for a drive soon as I got a bit of boost I can see noticeably more smoke coming out, after say 30 mins of driving there's no smoke what so ever even on boost...

I'm glad to be back in a another mr2 Well it feels quite underpowered the EML light flashes on and off randomly when then the factory boost guage works intermittently but only going up half way up the guage I can hear the turbo spooling but it sounds quite tame if that makes sense? We had a smoke te...

Got a rev 2 turbo its not boosting as it should it's completely stock had a smoke test done this morning all was well The standard boost guage is only going up half way up the meter on boost but it's on and off suddenly boosting then it's not etc feels underpowered Any insight to what it could be ca...

Ok mate I'll do all the servicing bits anyway It's a totally standard car so I'm sure there will be a few issues here and there but having a good look over it all seems well it's only got 73,000 km on it Also tuning wise having had a read up the revision 2s seem ok for 260bhp with some supporting mo...

My question is should I be worried about anything as the car has been standing for a good two years ? It's just had a mot , I'm more worried about the engine if it hasn't been driven for a couple of years would this effect it in any way ?

Hi I'm having a look at buying a mr2 turbo rev2 it has good history and I've had a good look underneath and there is no rust has all been treated I've already had a look over it engine started straight away warmed up as normal and no nasty sounds from what I could tell However the car has been stand...

Thank you for all your responses much appreciated I've definatly decided to go for a mr2 like I've said before I have a had 2 n\a mr2s previously and I loved them , so a turbo is definatly something I want to try For me to all about the overall driving Experiance and from what everyone is saying the...

Out of both of them I'm definatly leaning towards the mr2 more, rwd mid engine always have heard good things about the mr2 turbos Around 300bhp seems like the popular with the turbos if tuning a little which would be fine with me I wouldn't want much more than that for the road anyway I want all rou...

Interesting
And what would your reason you would have the WRX over a mr2 ?

I'm currently in the market for a new weekend toy however I've narrowed my search down to two cars a mr2 turbo or a impreza WRX However I've owned 2 previous n\a mr2s and I absolutely loved them but I have a thirst for more power but still a all round package performance wise Never owned a WRX but h...
