Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Rev 3 Turbo LSD gearbox rebuild kit ?

you can get the full gasket kit with seals etc.

I just replaced 2nd and 3rd syncro rings in mine, its a very easy gearbox to rebuild.

you'll need a 2 leg puller for one of the gears (the standard 3 leg type ones never seem to fit quite right), and a hydraulic press.

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Timing belt change

if you have the engine mount off at that side, you need to lower the engine as much as possible on that side and it will come out.

[Mk2] [Turbo] Any idea where these frunk connectors go?

Do the two rectangular ones plug into each other?

Car has been de-airconned and de foglighted.

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Gt3076 plus external wastegate piping.

you drill and tap the turbo housing and screw in a vacuum fitting.

vent the top port to atmosphere, if you want to control boost the easiest way to do it is to bleed air away from the side port.

[Mk2] [Turbo] Cusco front anti-roll bar links

Anyone know where I can buy these from?

MOT man wasn't happy with my shortened welded ones, even though it looks a lot better made than the original one on the passenger side.

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Fake Turbosmart external wastegate - what to do now?

I had an expensive 60mm wastegate, and I had a lot more bother with it than I do with my super cheap GS racing 60mm wastegate which is basically a copy of it.

Only thing I did was replace the diaphragm with a good quality one.

Re: Ebay '////MR2 TURBO 900bhp Drag Car////"

Was speaking to my friend who has the 6.3L granada, and it was apparently a cracked block.

Would be nice if he could get the traction to better his granadas previous best of 9.85

[Mk2] [Turbo] ECU Pins

Anyone know where I can get brand new crimp/solder ECU pins the same as in the factory ECU plugs?

Need a few for my crank sensor for the AEM.

I'd be interested in the crank pulley, and the mount for that matter.
