As far as i know it has a Blitz k1-380v in it which would be fantastic for track.
Im sorry but Im not up to speed with the blitz kl-380. What is it?
I has some nice gear on it which I will look closer at when its stopping and turning right.
Im adding a Apexi AVCR very soon which will help with the lag below 3200rpm. After 3200 it's mighty impressive.
It has 165psi on all four cylinders, no blow back, nicely tuned. Not sure on cams but will check it out at some stage.
The K1-380v is an aftermarket turbo. though spooling at 3200rpm that kinda sounds late for it. My old one used to start spooling at about 2k.

the blitz k1 is probably the best bolt on turbo for the mr2. dylan achieved 209kw and jason (mr2qik) made 220kw + from my memory. the only 2 i know that has had experience with the blitz k1. just google it and you'll find out some info or www.mr2oc.com hope this has helped

Thanks for the feedback dRu. I had a feeling you talking about the turbo. I will look into it. It comes on very hard at 3200-3500 (1.4 bar) but would be spooling up before that. Cheers

I have been self employed for 13 years so Im ok with dealing with hired help and the likes. If I was closer I would come and see you but its a tad to far.. Im heading to Phillip Island in Feb for a track day with friends. If there is a free spot your welcome to come along

just gut the engine lid. since its a track car cut out the slots abit too.
I was looking at that option as I have done it before. I did all that with the Celica. A little about the Celica ST162 It had a fresh engine with 145psi without the turbo set up. The engine had about 110kw. Chassis Seam welded, eurethene bushes throughout, every scrap of steel removed which isn't used, lightened the bonnet, doors,light weight race seat, 5 point harness, light weight rims, GT4 brakes, dbr slotted discs, braided lines, dot 5 fluid, new bearings , semi's 205/50/15. I keep note of all weight removal and came up with 220kg so I guess it was around the 850kg mark, with a total cost of the project at $5500. Cheap and it rendered results on it one and only outing before selling it to a Kiwi an hour out of Melbourne. I beat a CV8, Audi TT, Renault Megane, S14 and more. I was 21 out of 42 with a 1.15 at Wakefield Park. Its on Natsoft.

I have no idea what time I will be running. I plan to just make it there and run for the day and make it in one piece! I expect under 2mins once I get my head around the track and the car. If the car is set up correctly it will do it.

Yes it was a bugger to sell. I basically gave it away but I will get to drive it again and go door to door with it on the track as the the new owner is a champ of bloke! I didnt hit 8000rpm as it needed a bigger fuel pump or the likes. It was certainly built to handle a beating which I duely gave it at the track. If I had spent a few grand on a turbo it would have been a lot quicker.
