Hi guys and gals!
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
Need some advice!
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
I'm about to undertake an engine rebuild and fit a new clutch on my mr2.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
It's a j reg rev1
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
(only just as was registered in December 1991).
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
I'm wondering if the only difference in power figures between the rev1
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
(220bhp) and rev3(240bhp) is the difference between the turbos they use??
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
If this is the case, then I was thinking that while the head is off, I fit a rev3

(metal) head gasket and bolt on a rev3 turbo.

Is this possible?? And or is there any other things I'd need to do to make it fit?? Iv heard things like studs not fitting etc.

If this works, will i see the 240bhp power figure on my rev1?

Also as I'm doing the clutch, what the cheapest but best option for a clutch? Do I stick with a standard clutch or do I go for an exedy item??

Basically I have a
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
£1000 to spend on the engine, and I'm going to fit new valves, oils seals etc, piston rings oil rings, crank bearing shells, cam belt head gasket, turbo seals

(or buy a rev3 item) all in the name of maximising the engines power and reliability.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
Keeping in mind of upping the power eventually to around 300bhp! But wanting to have a reliable engine to start with!!
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
Any decent venders for the bits etc??
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
So and ideas on the turbos and are they interchangeable? And would it be worth doing? And any advice would be greatly received

!! Thanks!!
