Re: Just bought a bargain non-runner MK2 Turbo! PICS ADDED!
Ah right, I'll definately try and make it along to a few meets then. Mine won't be roadworthy until at least the summer though, needs a fair bit of work.
Managed to tow it to my lockup on my lunchbrake today, so will be having a good inspect of it tonight!
I'll get a few photo's to post up!

Re: Just bought a bargain non-runner MK2 Turbo! PICS ADDED!
Update! Only a little one though, got myself a decent sized lockup and should be finally taking delivery of the car tomorrow! Then will be stripping down the suspension/brakes to see what needs replacing, selling off some unwanted bits to fund some new parts and setting to work removing the old engi...

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Modifications needed to reach around 300BHP
The engine that is currently in the car snapped it's cambelt and that's the reason the old owner took it off the road two years ago, it's quite possible that the engine is perfectly alright and just needs a new cambelt as the 3s-GTE is supposed to be non-interferance. However the engine has done 120...

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Modifications needed to reach around 300BHP
Thanks, Yeah the rev 3 seems to have had quite a lot of engine tweaks. But I've got a free rev 2 engine, which apparently was rebuilt 12,000miles ago with the car, so I can't really justify buying a rev 3 engine when I can just put this one in. I'm hoping to get it up and running in the summer with ...

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Modifications needed to reach around 300BHP
It's a Rev 2 engine. Were there many differences between 2 and 3? Is the stock intercooler generally considered as being fairly weak? I take it it gets its air from one of the side scoops?? I'll ad a decent intercooler to the list then, should be easy to get to and change while the engine is out! An...

[Mk2] [Turbo] Modifications needed to reach around 300BHP
Hi all. I'm making some plans for the turbo once it's back on the road. After an initial shakedown/getting it through MOT etc. with the replacement 3s-GTE engine I'd like to get it to around 300BHP at the fly using mild modifications. I've tried looking for a 'tuning guide' showing what sort of powe...

I'm from Near Sunderland in the North East, But I'm now living in Cranfield, near to Milton Keynes! Really looking forward to cracking on with the project now, going to take it slow as I'm just doing it on weekday nights outside my flat, so will have limited lighting and warmth, but I've got until s...
