Did a couple of laps yesterday, new chicane is much faster with plenty of run off so no excuses for commitment to the corner.........

Re: [FINALIZED] MR2 GT Turbo REV2 converted to 3 66K 270RWBHP

Hi, if you have 270bhp at the wheels shouldn't that be more like 350 at the fly?

I suspect the flywheel figure is the correct one looking at the spec???

Re: V8 Mk1 6 speed with power steering

Hi Paul, Yeah it surprised me how compact and light an engine was, phenominal achievement when you consider how ol the engine is now! Mine is the 4 valve head (ABH???) not the 5 valve as is yours, although interestingly speaking to people in the know power wise there isn't much difference, the extra...

Re: V8 Mk1 6 speed with power steering

Hi Paul, Good stuff with the project! I am putting one of these engines in a 1988 Audi Coupe Quattro, looked at putting a supercharger in the Vee from a 4.2 Jag, its amazing how compact the Audi engine is as the SC from the Jag wasn't even close to fitting! http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d24/skin...

Mounting it transversly is the was the way to go for me, as a packaging job its a challenge but not impossible and would require some nouse, cuting a huge hole ina car and welding a semi spaceframe in is the easy option to me, when I do a job like this I always aim for it to look like its come from ...

Re: [Mk2] [Generic] audi v8 in a 355 replica

I looked at putting an Audi V8 in my Mk2, measured the engine up and it will fit in the engine bay with an adaptor plate on the MR2 gearbox, so you leave all the driveshafts etc in plate, so getting it in is relatively easy, just have to fabricate exhausts and a couple of engine mounts. I have since...

Re: Money no object what power could you get from a 3SGTE MR2?

Hi, Good observation from Trickster, if money no object buy a Veyron, as it is tune your car--lol But, as this is just a bit of fun you could get 1000bhp+ out of your 3S, just as the F1 guys got 1500bhp out of a 1.5 litre engine back in the 80's, the BMW of the time started life as a road car engine...
