Re: Jabeo's 1992 MR2 GT
Hi all! so after the awesome feedback, i got round to making a second episode where i start doing a bit of an engine tear down, pulling a lot of stuff off the engine. This was filmed over the last few days, so apologies if its a bit all over the place. Give it a watch if you want, and let me know what you think of this one hopefully it helps some people!

Re: Jabeo's 1992 MR2 GT
Just uploaded episode 3 where i pull the timing cover and find a bunch of oil leaks, forgive me if there is a bit of mis information in the video, its actually harder than you think to try create constructive communication with an inanimate object such as a camera let me know what you think!

Re: Jabeo's 1992 MR2 GT
Have uploaded an episode 4 and an episode 5 for anyone who is wanting to check it out, i do a 3sgte head removal, followed by some ARP headstuds and a new oem headgasket and then reinstall it all back together. In the next video i went and reassembled the components on the block and installed all new gaskets and timing components and got the timing belt put on the engine. All going good so far, i hope to have then engine in on the weekend of the 9th

Re: Jabeo's 1992 MR2 GT
Hey all, been a bit slack on making more videos, but i had some footage i took before i got my car running so i figured id put it all together to make another video. Bit all over the place but i had a few people asking about when the next one was coming out let me know what you think! like and sub for more hahah
In this one i compare my Billet ATS CT21 with the oem CT26 and then go about assembling the components ready to put on the engine. Im a bit overdue on a proper written update on this thread. so much has happened since my last written update hahaha

Re: Jabeo's 1992 MR2 GT
Hi mate videos are really good.
Now in your vid you said you might want a gen4 swap the car? Before you do it, see how well the gen2 engine goes with the new turbo and more boost. Those turbos are good for 300rwhp+ however your stock fuel system will run out at ~275rwhp. A handful of us back in the day ran high 12 second 1/4 miles and 109-110mph trap speeds down the 1/4 with essentially what you have got now. At that power level, they are still a very fast street car.
The law of diminishing returns would hit hard if you wanted to swap to the gen4 engine. Thousands more invested for a small gain. Depending on how hard you wanted to push the gen4, you might pick up 30hp? Just something to think about.

Re: Jabeo's 1992 MR2 GT
You could always just upgrade the fuel system, and COP ignition system on yours. Then it's basicly a gen4 right?Alsw20 wrote:Hi mate videos are really good.

After market ECU and it sounds like it would even be better?
Cheaper and easier also. And seems a shame to see all the work you've done to that engine become obsolete?
