hi all, mr2 turbo performance i have a reverion 1 with upgraded intercooler, 550cc injectors,
upgradeed fuel rail, and 20b hybrid turbo ,link g4 ecu, and denso fuel pump
which i have just had tuned. but are not happy with the results .what sort of rwhp would you imagine i should be getting
from this set up; I'd be interested in your feedback - cheers gaz
Are you running a stock head and internals? Any cams, head porting, or forged internals? Also when you say Hybrid CT20b - Do you mean a billet compressor wheel? What kind of kW did you make at what PSI?
This will give us a bit more information into what numbers you should be hitting.
But this setup on a Gen 3 3SGTE made 330whp with the same mods minus the hybrid turbo, but with forged internals. And being a gen 3, that would be similar performance figures to what you'd be hitting.

"man this thing drives like ass" - Sun Tzu, probably
yes stock head and intrnals non of the other mentioned the turbo was upgraded to produce 310 hp at the wheels
they said all they could get was 250rwhp because it gets to hot in the engine bay.
People are making more than that with stock ECUs. 250whp is a bit low. You're not blowing any smoke or anything? Compression is okay?
Jabeo here on the forums has an upgraded CT20b from ATS Racing. He made 192kw (257whp) on the dyno with a stock gen 2. No fuel mods, no tuned ECU, but also an intercooler upgrade.
What is your intercooler upgrade? The standard eBay GReddy style? Have you done the pipes too?
250whp is ridiculous. What kind of psi are you boosting too?
When they say it gets too hot in the engine bay - Do they mean the coolant, or the ambient temperature in the engine bay?

yr they mean the ambient heat in the engine bay needs to be cooler
the inter cooler is one i got from 2s rus cant rember the make bigger side mount and pipes
its about 15 yrs old .

Weird. SW20s do run warm. But shouldn't be that much of an issue.
It's hard to say if anything is wrong, obviously haven't seen your car - but if there were no issues, ambient engine bay temp shouldn't be an issue.
yr thought the same or every one would be in the same boat regarding heat
maybe just crap at tuning it took them 4 weeks to do the job when they had said 3days.
maybe i should get it retuned some where else..... its got good compression. the head was
reconditioned 35.000 k ago the pistons were all good at that time.
Factory exhaust really restricts power. The join of the B pipe to muffler is 2" which is smaller than the smallest part of a non turbo exhaust. If anything the B pipe should be upgraded and then the muffler setup changed second.
