[Dan3SGTE]

nice work awesome

Cheers dude

looks crap. think you should just sell it. ill give you scrap value for it

Haha yeah why not... £150?

Awesome dude was speaking to Si about this, will you let me know how mapping goes with Adrian please I'm down there soon

Adrian is spot on, really calm and helpful... He mapped my car a few years back on the stock turbo and that run sweet.

Well done mate that looks fab!! that manifold looks pretty special too what make is it??

Thanks mate! The mani is a "FULL RACE" unit, american company. Best 3S mani on the market.. You dont even wana know how much i paid for that bloody thing!

looks wicked bud...and well done for sticking with it i hope you reap the rewards...this time last year ye nearly gave up, but you seen sensethis is gonna be awsome and the torque will be nuts

Nice one mate, i hope so to.. And your very right, was up sale and that was it, i had stripped it etc... Just didnt have the heart to do it in the end. I love this car. Yeah the power should be pretty special.

looks ace man!!! well done!!
i remember reading your project when you had just bought the car.
utter respect dude!

Nice on Gilly! Yeah you remember! This was like 7 years ago haha!

Can't wait to see how she responds to mapping, it's been a long road so far Dan.




Oh and you forgot to cover your engine mounts with cloths mate.. lolz

Jay

Cheers Jay, you and me both! Im not exactly sure how Adrian is going to road map this but there you go, i'll leave that up to him lol.

And lol!! This is true mate!

 

[Dan3SGTE]

Its gonna be mental! I remember seeing the vids of it before and even then it was crazy.
Looking forward to these clips and good to see it back running again

Cheers mate! Yeah was a wild little car before on the stock 3S set up with basic mods... Not really sure what to expect with an extra 200-250BHP lol

Starlets are getting crazier all the time

Quite amazed to see a engine and gear box fit under the bonnet how the hell did u get mounts and fit it

Quality build there is it a mr2 twin turbo engine but we 1 bo?

Thanks dude, yeah there are some pretty mental set ups out there now which is cool!

The engine and box goes in pretty well, its is very tight in some places dont get me wrong but it fits in... The mounts were all custom made apart from the new gearbox mount which is rubber unit as the first time round the front chassis bar cracked!

It is yes mate, its a rev 3 3sgte.. MR2 turbo engine.. Its a single turbo, not twin... They are twin entry turbos from factory and till this day i have no idea what that even means lol. This is around 2050cc with the overbore.

Inlet to the turbo is split in two as in two ports twin entry

Yeah i knew it was something to do with the mani but didnt pay much attention.. How would that benefit it in anyway?

It's good to see your finally getting somewhere with this, a lot of people would have lost interest and given up a long time ago.

Mapping is next Tuesday

I hope it behaves a little better on boost than you know who's
