MR2 winter progress

this winter i decided to get some major work done on the MR2. i can't wait to autocross it again and run it at the local road course. here's the brief list of items:

full urethane suspension bushing kit
aeromotive stealth 340 fuel pump
retuned for E85 on 18psi
front and rear strut tower braces
KW V3 coilovers w/ Tein camber plates (on order)
93 MR2 turbo front and rear brakes with carbotech XP8 pads all around (on order)

i might need to put a larger master cylinder on after the brakes, but i'll see how they feel. i'll get it on a dyno fairly soon to get some numbers, but i don't expect the power to be much more than 250whp, *maybe* 260whp, with a bit more torque.

oh, and i'll get some pictures up soon.

I see your sig sys High Compression, and you say E85 so why only 260WHP? What turbo are you using?

My SR20DET is apart on my bench becoming a SR20VET im raising the comp from 9:1 to 10.4:1 and running E85 this time around, power before was 341WHP (dyno jet SAE correction No driveline compensation) at 19PSI at 6K where it hit boost cut (it gets a V-band housing and a proper wastegate this time) I'm expecting no less that 400WHP on a GT2868 (FP compressor wheel on a gt28RS hot side & CHRA)

right now i'm on a ceramic CT26. the compressor can flow more, but the turbine is very restrictive, hence the low numbers. most people struggle to get 230whp out of a CT26, so for that turbo, i'm not doing too bad. at some point i plan on upgrading to a GT3076 or maybe one of the new Borg Warner EFR turbos.

i'm also on stock cams, so there's definitely some room to improve VE at higher engine speeds (actually probably at all engine speeds, haha).
