What's up everyone? First post here as I was advised by a friend (jlee) that I might want to post my build on here so here we gooooooo.
I first purchased her back in 2011/2012 and she already had a TD06, Haltech E8 ECU, 272 cams, HKS cam gears, Hux Racing Intake mani, WolfKatz top feed w/ 750's and water/meth injection. She is my 2nd mr2 as I made the mistake of selling my first one in 2009. I spent about 6-7 months looking for an mr2 in almost every neighboring state (CA, NV, NM, TX, UT and AZ) for what I thought was the right mr2. Thankfully I had a few sellers not respond and I ended up finding her and she was about 30 minutes away. The craigslist ad was only up for a few hours before I already had an agreement in place to buy her.
She has a Border hood, Border front bumper and Greddy sides. Wheels are knockoff racing harts.
About 1.5-2 years later I decided I couldn't deal with the lag of the TD06 anymore and decided to be unconventional and go with a Garrett GTX3067. I actually swapped the turbo at jlee's house hahaha.
Some time in June of this year I started experiencing what I thought was fuel problem and I was looking for a reason to send her to ATS for awhile and finally got one. So I decided to buck up and go for a 2.3L 5S from ATS Racing. (The problem ended up being a faulty distributor harness causing lack of RPM signal)
Here is the current build:
Last picture was during install which is why everything isn't hooked up and no intake. I'll update this picture when I get her back.
Build:
* Performed/Installed at ATS
- ATS 2.3L 5S with ATS 87.5mm Wiseco pistons with HD piston upgrade and stage 3 wrist pins *
- ACL Race Bearings *
- ATS Block fill *
- BC Rods *
- ECU Master with Flex Fuel (Tuned by Scott M @ ATS) *
- ATS CV Joints/ Axle Cages *
- ATS Clutch Masters Stage 4 Kit *
- ATS L19 Head Studs *
- ATS MLS Headgasket *
- ATS Garrett GTX3067 Kit
- HUX Racing Intake Manifold
- Wolfkatz Top Feed with ATS 1200's * (1200's over 750's)
- Walbro 255

I went overkill on the block just in case I decide to keep going for more power. I'm sure I'm forgetting stuff but you guys get the idea.
Dyno:
Low power is BC off on E73 about 14psi, and high is 26psi on the same fuel.
