My Rev 3 Turbo engine rebuild...please chime in
Ok, so those who know my car on this forum have seen that I have almost fully restored the car back to near new over the last few years.
The last big project was the suspension rebuild
https://www.mr2australia.com/mr2play/tm.aspx?m=141760Now, finally, its time to do the engine...
I have booked the car into one of the last remaining engine rebuild shops here in Perth run by an old school guy who really knows his stuff.
I've also ordered a new clutch which he will install as well during the rebuild. It's an Excedy replacement clutch which should arrive here next week.
I'm having the head "done up" by Hi-Performance Head Engineering here in Perth by another old school guy(John Nasta) who first did my Datsun 240Z head many years ago and so I know he'll do a great job.
Nothing too wild just a bit of a "port and polish" so to speak.
The engine guy probably hasn't done an MR2 Turbo before so I was hoping the gurus here might comment on things to be aware of that I can bring to his attention before the build...tips and tricks, things to look out for, suggestions, etc.
I have a decent budget for the build and am aiming to get it back to the original 180Kw plus some more from the headwork and Legalis R exhaust system and new B pipe setup I'm including.
The cat will be coming off too.
So have at it guys...all advice, help, etc appreciated
