Not actively, but it's time to move it on. As awesome as it is, I just don't get the time to use it as much as it deserves. It belongs on a track, where it was built to thrive.

That's fair enough Phil... What's next in the pipeline then buddy?

Fancy another mr2?

Another change of plans...

It stays and will return!

New goal: sensible 400bhp build.

Dilemma: build a 5S or 3S.

I currently have both blocks and cranks, but need to decide soon as the 5S package is provisionally sold.

I'm terrified of a 3S block cracking and then kicking myself for not going 5S when I had the chance...

Thoughts anyone???

If you have both, 5S no question.

Martin F · Post by **Martin F** » Sat Jan 09, 2016 10:22 am

If you are tracking the car or drive hard a lot then 5s would be more sensible, it's the luck of the draw with the 3s engine by the sounds if things, so worth the gamble ??

you've kind of answered your own question there..

however, a later revision 3s (with the reinforced casting), with a sensible CR and decent management wouldn't scare me at all tbh, but then I've never cracked a block.. I suppose it's down to whether you can swallow the difference in price between a proper 5s build with forged rods and pistons vs a refreshed stock 3s with just forged pistons. is extra ££££ spent now going to pay off in the future when/if you decide you want more power and you already have a motor capable of taking big boost?

I cracked my rev 3 turbo block. I could have just as easily gone out and bought a 2.2 camry and fitted a 5S, but I had no concern about sticking another 3SGTE in it with forged pistons.

I've had MR2 turbos since 2004, and my 1st cracked block was in 2013. It's not a regualr occurrence.

As Rob says above, it's a lot cheaper going with a forged piston 3S over a mega 5S build!

Or you could sleeve the Rev 4 block and not have to worry again

The rear wheels touched concrete for the first time in over a year!

Can't wait to get back out in this. Definitely got the spark back!

Gearbox bought after selling mines (way too cheap as well!)

TRD LSD bought.

More progress - scrapped the old dashboard I took a jigsaw to in order to have it ready for a track night the same day

Before I stick the new dashboard (thanks Gullz Ter), what can I remove?
I want to keep the heaters, but the AC can go.

Anything else?

Feel free to highlight my pics and repost!!
