My Toyota MR2 build thread - 1994 GT-S - toxo - 04-11-2017 You might think that but I plugged it into the alarm today and it didn't work. I reckon the TOAD LED might be common anode where the Maplin LED is common cathode. Just gonna redo the board with the TOAD LED as I removed it in one piece. ARGH and now I just ripped the boost gauge off the IC Edit: Yep, as I thought the TOAD LED is common anode GRR. I am so mad about the boost gauge, it took me ages to get that right. Today is not going well. My Toyota MR2 build thread - 1994 GT-S - toxo - 09-11-2017 It was COLD yesterday!! Brake master cylinder changed, brakes much better. Unfortunately I forgot to take the handbrake off when bleeding the rears, schoolboy error, so they need bleeding again. Glued the boost gauge back in, new LEDs turned up so now my alarm LED works Oh I found somewhere to buy a replacement screen for my digital camera too :thumbup: So more pics soon. Have also replaced the piece of trim on the dashboard that had holes in it for the alarm LED etc with an unbutchered one.
My Toyota MR2 build thread - 1994 GT-S - toxo - 21-11-2017 I have decided to shelve the MR2 project for a bit. I need to concentrate on getting myself debt free this year, and that's not going to happen while all my cash is going into the Toyota money pit. I've not yet decided whether to keep the TD06 or to flog it and buy another turbo next year. I have bought the supporting components for most of the stuff listed above so I'll still finish off a good chunk of the list.

My Toyota MR2 build thread - 1994 GT-S - toxo - 21-11-2017 TD06's are small and really efficient. About the same size as the Toyota CT2x series turbos but good for like twice the horsepower. My one has a 20g impellor wheel in it (largest one they do IIRC) and is an externally 'gated one as well so I've got the Tial wastegate to go with it for some screamer pipe action.

My Toyota MR2 build thread - 1994 GT-S - toxo - 21-11-2017 It's this one http://www.atsracing.net/ats_racing_td06_turbocharger_kit.htm ATS claim 250-500bhp @ fly with that turbo on the MR2. That's at some quite high pressures though. My Toyota MR2 build thread - 1994 GT-S - FirebirdPhil - 21-11-2017 So how much would a 2nd hand one go for....... My Tubby is pretty well maxed out at the moment:thumbdown: My Toyota MR2 build thread - 1994 GT-S - toxo - 21-11-2017 I'm not gonna say on here as I'm not a paid up Outlaw and am therefore not allowed to advertise things for sale on here! |
