b145t3r - Toyota MR2 n/a-->Turbo

[b145t3r]

hello guys! i will introduce my self.
I am driving Toyota MR2. Originally it came from factory naturally aspirated with 2.0l doch engine 156bhp. I converted it into Turbo, with a newer, forged engine.
When I was living in UK, I had two MR2's. LHD n/a and RHD Turbo. So, when I was leaving UK, I used RHD as donor.
Things I swapped into my LHD are: engine, engine loom with Link G3 ECU, transmission, transmission cables, brakes, fuel tank, seats and other smaller bits.

there are some pictures:

first year i bought it (i got it nearly 5 years now):

Wicked build and welcome

Iam a bit jealous for HSD coilover, but your build is how it should be, gratz

[b145t3r]

thank you to be honest those coilovers are too stiff for Czech roads. even on German motorways made of concrete i felt myself nearly sick of shacking..

[Jason]

You tell me what spring rate are you using?

[b145t3r]

6kg/mm and 10kg/mm

very nice car b145t3r! I have been running HSD coilovers for 3years now and since enjoy them, they are bit stiffer but nothing I can't complaint about, they are still quite good for fast side roads trips in CZ, but sometimes you have to lift of a bit

[b145t3r]

i agree with you. i was looking for KW coilovers, but couldn't find any for SW20 that time. i read a lot of articles about coilovers (D2, BC, Megan, HR, Tein and lots of other stuff) and decided that HSD will be the best choice, it got much less settings (who the f*ck needs 32 or 40 settings?), quality is better than average, no major complains about them.

Hi and welcome. Did you ran it on rollers? You should do it when you left UK. Nice spec btw. You still using Rev1/2 head and intake?

[b145t3r]

thank you if i understood you right you were asking me about dyno run? yes, it was mapped by Ryan at "2bar tuning" and this engine is pushing 312bhp on flywheel and 398Nm.
no, engine is rev3 JDM (still got japanese stickers on timing belt cover)
