Yeah I definetely agree with that, angrymike had a discussion about it when we were at that point, but decided that since going under the axle would mean having the exhaust hang way below the rest of the bottom of the car, it would be way pimper to build it using the much more difficult but reliable stock route.

glad you like it. wish i had an exhuast like that.

there wasn't any super crazy bends either. i tried to keep it as "free flowing" as possible. should pick you up some ponies for sure.

thats how my exhaust was done too.. the right way imo considering 3" is already a little overkill for our swaps, (yeah yeah, i know with a turbo no backpressure is needed) the "flow" should be just fine

Follow the standard "BPU" upgrades that the MR2 turbo guys do. You already are well on your way - intercooler, full exhaust, etc.

as HP goes up traction goes down..

j/k not always like that but it happens

Piggyback ECU and tune, then high density intercooler, than turbo upgrade.

[angrymike]

tweaks got the right idea

it all depends on your hp goal though.

if all you want is 350~450 on pump, i would go with a t3/t460trim, gt3076, gt35 or sc61. depends on your $$$. i personally would put a sc61 with a stage 5 wheel on it. one of my favorite turbos. its a gt35 compressor on a t3 hot side made by precision turbo.

you can get them for about $850. the rebuild kits are the same as t3/t4's so servicing in the future is cheap and easy. you can always go ball bearing too. honda guys have put down over 650whp with these turbos. most people run them at about 350~400whp (15~20psi on pump).

you would probably see 20 psi on your stock motor by about 4000~4500 rpm.

a better exhaust manifold and downpipe would be pretty helpfull as well.

custom garrett high denisty intercooler core. somthing like a 18X12X4 core with a dual pass tanks would work pretty well.

once you own a swap, its mandatory that you become a member of mr2oc.com. you will learn everything you need to know about what mods you should do in the future.
