Got the chance to drive at turbo MR2. W ent fast , really fast ! My driving skills with a turbo are not there at all . felt so uneasy with turns. When that kick comes in **** on the turn. Whereas l can push my beams and its so well controlled
Mind you this guy was so impressed at the speed and agility of my car and wanted to have a better look if l had a SC or turbo.
So l have to say the turbo is not for me.
With the contact im looking at the SC set up using the Rotrex.
This is new for the MR2 with no installs done at all. But a dozen have been done on the Celica 2ZZ.
My questions are
Is the 2ZZ a stronger engine than ours ?
A few have been done with injector up size to 630cc but no upgrade of their stock fuel pump . Is our fuel pump stronger than the 2 ZZ ?
Mind you ill only be getting 440 cc. Are the RC injectors reputable ?
The SC pulley will limit my increase to about 8 psi maximum roughly 260 HP. What do you guys reckon , Can our engine handle it without comprimising the engine.
Man these guys are running stock internals with CR 11.5 : 1 AND ARE BOOSTING 13 psi with no problems. Getting 325 HP From an engine thats roughly 160 HP !
With a MoTec and the right tuner will it idle perfectly and do all what the factory ECU does perfectly.That is idle, start up , cold/hot and not loose the beautiful revving engine ste up l have now. In other words totally transparent ?
Lastely anyone else considering also SC set up as to set the machining in CAD will just be a bit extra BUT if no one is interested l can save a bit as it wont be necessary because it will be custom.
The way it will be set up is totally invisible even to a trained eye. And i will use the clip engine for all the necessary designing.
Cheers
