Common issue, replacement gasket will sort it. Can't go wrong if you follow the workshop manual precisely :thumleft: Genuine Toyota gaskets (its a two separate gaskets so get both, inner for plugs 2 and 3, and outer) can be found for around £20. Its not too time consuming, easy DIY job with a standa...

This is it:



I believe he also had different cams etc so that will affect where it spools etc.

How's the spool with the s148? Been over a year since I've driven it anything over actuator pressure / full throttle as a rod bearing shat itself last year and break in isn't done yet, so I can't really remember tbh :lol: The S148 has a totally custom exhaust housing, it actually not a twin scroll ...

I'll believe it when its on the car :lol: I have thought about going standalone as I do have an S148, but I do wonder how well its going to last at the pressures / turbine speeds needed to get north of 350bhp. Its still CT bearings, shaft etc and they just don't seem to take that sort of punishment ...

Which specific variant of the GTX28 did they have? There's loads of possible combinations which will give varying results!

Turbos like the S148 spool a little later than a stock CT20B, but are capable of more up top. If the objective is to get both more up top, and a better power curve overall, then really the only way to do it is with a good aftermarket small frame turbo designed to do just that. GTX28 series for examp...

Just get the one with the connector, keeps it clean and simple. Can get them for about £50 and it'll last years.

DOX0101 is cheaper, but has no plug on it so you splice it in. Personally I think its worth spending the extra on a direct plug in. Bear in mind that for the 4 wire O2's there are few variants for 3SGE/3SGTE depending on revision/market etc. In this case the only difference between DOX0216 and 0217 ...

Manufacturing for Rev5 began in late 1997 for the 1998 model year, so these numbers are probably a little low as they don't include any Rev5 built in late 1997.

096 fits with a spacer underneath. Big heavy xxxxx though.

Cool story bro. No really, I had a little chuckle! Did their first name begin with J?

I owe you a PM in fact...

Looks Great Dam i wish someone could come up witha way we coud get it to work with the previous data port https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=zfapps.toyobd1&hl=en_GB + the bluetooth reader. The communication protocol it uses is very slow though, update rate is barely once per second,,...

Useful where supported, but I think it only works with OBDII compatible ECU's?

Mr2's are surprisingly hard to find in good condition with low miles. I'm still looking for a rev5 turbo with a good budget and I haven't found the car yet. Yes there is still 90,000+ milers with not great condition to be had at sensible money but try buying a mint one I wouldn't be surprised if ma...

It was an auction wasn't it? So 2 or more people thought it was worth somewhere near that. I'd never pay that for one even if I had the money to throw away, does nothing for me at all. Thats just my preference though. SW20 does have some motorsport pedigree, it had some great success in the GT300 ca...

I always find it amusing how when a car is viewed as being priced too high the typical response is along the lines of "you can ask for whatever price you want, it's only worth what someone is willing to pay", but when someone actually pays the money its "nah its not worth that, what a...

I just bought a completely rust free rev2 tintop for £150 if that gives you an idea of value these days, granted its a non-runner NA- but still....a tin top with original, solid sills for £150 :shock: Equally for a single data point, a very tidy Rev2 NA sold at auction about a year or ago in the UK...

Sounds harsh and it's not intended to be but time has moved on. IMO an almost perfect condition, sensibly/tastefully modified rev3+ turbo is never more than a £5-7k driving experience, but the same can be said for all the rest of the 25yr+ jap scrap that's gone off the richter in price. People payi...

As always depends on spec / condition etc. From your link Rob - a high k's / poor condition Rev5 Turbo went for 500k JPY, sure. A low k's / great condition Rev3 G Limited auto went for 825k JPY. Looking on other sites that index historical auctions, 500k JPY doesn't seem to go very far for an MR2 Tu...

~£29k GBP asking price if anyone is wondering!
