[DeusMR2]

[DeusMR2]

btw Jim is it just me or is your avatar not working?

[Jimlad]

Big "%$( off" turbo then Jim?

Aye mate... dunno what tho.

Was looking at Fensport Stage3 etc... but want bigger.

Any suggestions ? A big sodding Garret jobbie ??

[Bibbs]

(works for me).

Or Nitro and a big %$( off turbo ..

Do you use your boot Jim? Nice big intercooler in the boot would be great :)

[Jimlad]

btw Jim is it just me or is your avatar not working?

dunno... it's working for me...

CAN ANYONE ELSE SEE MY AVATAR ?

[Bibbs]

Garrets are the nads ..

A T30 should do ya ..

[Jimlad]

(works for me).

Or Nitro and a big %$( off turbo ..

Do you use your boot Jim? Nice big intercooler in the boot would be great :)

nah... don't really use the boot apart froma toolbox...

So... suggestions needed for power mods...

Bibbs... you're in the know. Fire away mate.....

[Jimlad]

Garrets are the nads ..

A T30 should do ya ..

OK.....

Where would I get one from ?? Same with intercooler etc and anything else that would be needed.

Price it up for me ?

[Bibbs]

IC could be got for any car really .. you cut a hole in your boot floor.

I'd say £500 for the biggest IC and then £300 for WI.

Then 1k on a turbo .. then fitting and RR time ..

[Jimlad]

That's not too bad...

know where to get all the pap from ?

[Bibbs]

Garrett GT28 450hp ball bearing turbo

This unit has a T25 type base flange and GT25 type rear flange for the exhaust. Features a huge .70 comp cover with smooth machined bellmouth inlet and 4" inlet. This unit has a .86 exhaust housing in this 450hp form . The comp wheel actually flows 44 LBs/Min and itself is rated near 450hp. Usual ultra reliability and superb response from the Garrett ball bearing design. Sometimes called a GT25/40. Very similar to the HKS GT25/40 but with a different comp cover and different number of blades on the compressor. Great upgrade for SR20DETs and other 2 litre's. A little laggier than the 400hp unit due to the larger exhaust housing.

About £800 Or .. for the nutters .. about £1500

Garrett GT 42/45 1000hp ball bearing turbo

This turbo is the biggest in our current range for the serious horsepower. Rated at 1000hp. Its a killer on any Rotary or 3.0ltr plus piston engine

[Jimlad]

joy...

Now I need to find a competent place to do the work. Dasktek could... but they don't have the time.

[Bibbs]

You allso need a <fnar> flange for the turbo if you go Garret .. as well as custom oil and coolant lines.

If you stay stock and go hybrid, it'll be easier.

[Jimlad]

The GT28 listed on fensport is listed as a complete kit....

what else needed?

Maybe a Stage3 from fensport will be better for the time being then. More "Streetable"... but still loads of punch.

[Bibbs]

you chip *should* do the rest ..

A BIG IC from a supra for the boot, custom IC pipes ..

and then a scooby intake for your bot lid ..

[Jimlad]

so if I went the GT28 way...

I would only need the IC in the boot with piping. I would need forgies and larger fuel injectors would I not?

But if I went the Stage 3 route... just the turbo, forgies and injectors?

A scooby intake ? You mean the one that's usually on there bonnet?

Yeah the chip can do the rest... would just have to crawl upto Dastek.

[Bibbs]

you can go forgies on the pistons and cams etc .. you can go for a full WRC bottom end (600+ bhp proven).

But what are you after?

I know what I want .. but I dunno if I should do it ..

[Jimlad]

What am I after ?...

erm... Back to the Future 2 Stylee.... " Power! ".

Just want to know what's all needed with either of the two options.

I want heaps of power, but not something with massive lag.

[Jimlad]

I would love to go somewhere and say this is what I want.

Would goto CRD, but they go all Jap mad.... They want to put a £4500 HKS Turbo kit in the car... lol.

[Bibbs]

I'd say that 350~400 it the most you'll be looking at to keep it streetable on a 2.0 ..

If you want REAL knowledge speak to Dino @ Owens

They actually make the hybrids that are sold in the UK .. and Dino is a MR2 owner and a VERY clever bod.

They have had a ST205 up to about 550 BHP .. and that was a LOT of TTE rally bits and super race fuel .. it seems to be about the limit without megga lag ..

[Jimlad]

I would be happy with anything between 350 and 400 bhp.

Stage3 is listed as 360bhp.

May give fensport a call nearer the time and tell them what i want. See what they say I should get. Will also give Dino a shout.

Don't really trust CRD... well... not to the extent of doing this.
