So Im rebuilding a beams motor...., Who wants to touch me. :P Options

If you are turboing it, then you wouldnt want high compression anyway.... Most turbo cars hang around the 8:1 or 9:1 mark.

Running high compression limits the amount of boost that you can run.

Ive been doing a 'mock up' build over the last few days, to make sure I have all of the nuts/bolts/etc. etc. etc, so I am good to go when my bearings arrive. 8)

Hence the lack of crank. :?



I also put a few coats of clear over the rocker cover and intake manifold, to satisfy my magpie syndrome (lust for shiny things!) and for a few extra points with the ladies. :lol:

are those the stock ex manifolds ? btw i am going to get a foto of the dyno with the 185.6whp and sent it to you because i have no scanner but i thing it will be ok

[maikl]

oh....! and i was wondering what exhaust pipping diameter are you going with?

[roman]

No, they are TOMS extractors, the standard exhaust manifold has a big steel lump at the bottom, that the pipes join into. (rather than the pipes being spliced together)

I will be using the standard exhaust for now, but I plan to get a straight through exhaust made at some stage. (Which will be fricken noisy, as the MR2 exhaust only runs for a metre or so! Which will most probably be 2 1/4" pipe.

I think that any bigger would be overkill for a 2 litre NA.

Perhaps 2 1/2" at the max.
