404 RWHP
It is running very hot. All seems OK but the cooling system is stock. Any ideas?

Also, does anyone else use an Axcel DFI Gen 7 stand alone EMS system? ]]> donbedwell http://www.mr2.com/forums/blogs/donbedwell/73-wonderful-fast-car.html http://www.mr2.com/forums/blogs/polardad1/72-help-plugs.html Sat, 27 Sep 2008 21:41:16 GMT hi---i am a new owner of a 91 mr-2. engine is 2200 2.2. l. here is my problem and i need some help. car has 90K original and in great shape. has a set of bosch plugs fr7-dpx that need replacing (they are gapped at .020!!!). here is where the fun starts. book suggests bosch fr8-dpx (4002)---won't turn over when installed-factory set at .040 and i tweaked down to .020 and tried both--no luuck..old plugs back in works fine. then tried ngk size bkr5egp (7090). they worked great x 2 days then stpopped / fouled. check distance of plug base and it is identical to the old fr7's. bought bosch fr7's and went thru gapping and they worked great x 1 day then fouled. again, base is indentical to old fr7's. what is going on??? this is killing me.---thanks bob ]]> POLARDAD1 http://www.mr2.com/forums/blogs/polardad1/72-help-plugs.html http://www.mr2.com/forums/blogs/jtothek/71-toyota-3s-gte-failure.html Tue, 16 Sep 2008 14:19:44 GMT I have a serious turbo problem:

We installed a 3SGTE engine in our MR1 endurance off road race car (3 hour race with deteriorating terrain think motocross, very popular in belgium)

The engine features a Mitsu Lancer Evo III turbo, and spools up at around 1800rpm. we ride at 400gr turbopressure 205 hp and 260Nm torque.

We also ride with a oil cooler system.


After a few hours of racing (7-8 hours) the engine starts dropping power and really falls of the pipe making no more rpm. Eventually oil comes out of the carter ventilation and the rngine fails. Some inspection revealed that the rod of the 4thcilinder has some freeplay on the crankshaft (krukas). We wasted 2 engines this way.

Anyone have an idea what is going on, I was told that this occours often on these engines. Is it the oil? oil pressure drop dew to oil cooler? or just weak design? installing a heavier oil pump (does exist apparently)?

Id love to build it back up because it is a real rocket when it works together with the DTA ECU and the super evo III turbo. The dirt flies like 50 meters away from the rear tyres, an amazing feeling in a car of 800kg. I'd like to rebuild it during winter stop.

Do there exist special crankshafts, rods and pistons (like WRC blocks made from these engines). That ofcourse fix the above problem.

Almost forgot, we build a 3SGE beams red top in the car now, 200hp and 216Nm torque. It is supposed to be super strong but the downside is that we need to haul ass with this engine against the BMW M5's and SUBARU turbo's in our heat. Its a bit low on torque, but havent riden it due to wiring diagrams needing to be sent over from Japan. ]]> JtotheK http://www.mr2.com/forums/blogs/jtothek/71-toyota-3s-gte-failure.html http://www.mr2.com/forums/blogs/ronc/70-need-help.html Tue, 02 Sep 2008 19:16:00 GMT hi i'm new to this forum i'm a proud owner of a 91 mr2 na. i've had the car for sometime now and i'm looking into engine swap. i've been reading lots on v6 1mzf...do you guys know anyone in the chicago area that deals with this kind of swaps or anyone i can talk to. any help would be appreciated thanks!!

Dont get me wrong it was a great car and I had fun with it. But I saw the MR2 that I own now and just fell in love.

The point Im getting to is I saw a kid that had a BMW like the one I used to have and he couldn't understand why I made the change. The more he talked about it the more I knew why I made the change. The MR2 is a much nicer car for what I want to do. Plus the parts that I want are half as expensive.

Overall I just bought my MR2 a few days ago and I love it. Its the best car I have ever gotten to drive. and for being stock it has so much more power than my old car. There are so many options with my MR2. I cant wait to start putting some time and money into it. ]]> Fubba http://www.mr2.com/forums/blogs/fubba/60-my-mr2-vs-bmw.html http://www.mr2.com/forums/blogs/rxmperformance/59-new-member.html Mon, 02 Jun 2008 07:42:22 GMT Hey guys,

This problem has been growing worse and worse. basically what happens is the car feels like it's completely holding back but wants to go. If I press on the gas rather quickly, there is a constant hesitation...the Turbo spools just fine but the car basically wont go and its takes a while to work up a good speed. i basically have to ease onto the accelerator. This becomes very frustrating when i get onto a freeway or go up a hill. i tried cleaning the whole fuel system and got no change, there isnt anything clogging the exhaust and one other thing i can think of is that maybe my EGR valve needs to be replaced.....Does anyone have some insight???? ]]> wrestle149 http://www.mr2.com/forums/blogs/wrestle149/51-need-help-strange-issue.html
