The forum won't let me rename the thread by editing my first post like most forums do... otherwise I would have given it a more meaningful title by now!

What would you like to name it mate i can change it for you?

It can be left as it was joking


My Toyota MR2 build thread - 1994 GT-S - toxo - 14-08-2017

Yeah go on, can you change it to "My MR2 build thread - 1994 GT-S" or something like that.

Over the last few days I've sorted out the wiring for the fan kit (nothing fancy, running constantly on ignition) via the new auxilliary fusebox. I'll build a fan controller for it later, and take some photos for you when I get the car back. I've dropped it off at Pacific Works tonight and should get it back on Tuesday.

thread changed as well mate


My Toyota MR2 build thread - 1994 GT-S - toxo - 14-08-2017

Yeah it's funny how that works! I wrote a list of jobs for my mechanic to make sure I remembered all the parts and it was waaaay longer than I expected... and I think way longer than he was expecting too (ooer)!

Thanks for renaming the thread!

I am thinking of some new cams for mine, I have been looking and 264's look good????? any advice??????


My Toyota MR2 build thread - 1994 GT-S - toxo - 15-08-2017

What made you think about changing the cams, are you looking to alter the driveability or just after more power? What ECU do you run, cause you'll need to play with the timing a fair bit to make it idle cleanly with big cams. I guess if Ryan did it it's either a Link or a Solaris?

IMHO it's not worth playing with cams until you're a bit further up the modification chain (you can push 350 at the fly with stock internals). Then again I'm not sure how much space you've got for a bigger turbo, and you're probably talking more manifold fabrication... ok I'm starting to see why you were asking about cams :lol:

264s are good and require less fiddling to make the drive good, 272s are a bit too extreme and those are the only 2 sizes readily available. While you're in there sort the shims out in the head and raise the rev limit to 8000rpm Smile
