Well, I wasn't going to say this either, but I have been working off and on on a jig that holds the gears in line with the factory holes at 0 degrees on my turn table which has 1 degree incriments. I can then move forward or backward any amount, excately as the TRuD Gears. I then want to raid all the wrecking yards here for Corollas and MR2s and snag the cam gears and sell them for cheaper than the TRuD gears.

But that is another project.. heh heh

Dennis, I think Mike is trying to steal your DIY crown... what're you gonna do about that, eh?

he didn't make his own exhaust.

Dennis is buuilding a custom intake manifold...i started on it tonight. I stopped when I found out that my 13 galon 5 hp compressor doesn't like how much air the die grinder consumes.
The TB is going to be located right on the middle of the plunum on the top, so the air entering the plunum through the TB doesn't have to change direction much at all. Also, I'm using a larger plenum that stock. Runners are about 60% the length of what the stock ones are. Oh, since the TB is in the middle on top, all cylinders will have equal vaccuum, adn it is perfect for a center mounted roof scoop just like the supercars do.

Hooking up the linkage to the TB will probably be the biggest pain, although shouldn't be too hard.

Oh, the TVIS plate will be tossed. Since this is a soloII only car and will hopefully be sporting some 272/264 cams in the near future, I'm not interested in low end torque at all. I jsut wanna maximise power from 4.5K to 7.5K.

Dennis and Mike are very much alike. If I remember correctly, BM snowboards as do I, and is vegan as am I. We both fab alot of our own parts too. I guess if I didn't autoX during the summer, I could have had my car torn apart and worked on it too as did BM.

But i'm lazy and I like simple light weight things, so the engine in my MR2 will remain NA, and I really want to install my garrett T3 turbo and audi intercooler into my AE86. but since the AE86 is my daily driver, it will be hard to find the time. i'll have to wait till next year when the MR2 is streetable again, and then I can drive the MR2 for a few weeks while the AE86 gets boosted.

you have to get us some vids of your car smokin some rustangs and camaros once everything's broken in

I'm pretty sure he does... [Clovis is right next to Fresno]

Hush up, kdog, my little NA MR2 is faster than both your car and Mike's (at Solo2, at least. ).

Mazda 2.0Liter Turbos only wish they had the power of a real power house, a 1.6Liter 4A-GZE!


Behold the almighty 4A-GZE

Is that intake carbon fiber?

What are you going to do about emmissions? I know that thing isn't going to run on 91 octane... what are you going to do about all that? When can I come down and see it in person?

Mike

edit... BTW, kdog, you might touch this thing after you get your hands on a 3 rotor, and dump some huge amounts of boost. good luck... hehehe

afterthought edit... Did you beef the crank any? cryo treat? block?
