Mmm nice, are they high compression pistons or have u had the head skimmed. Havnt you cammed or ported, or is that soon to be done. but looks like your doing a good job, post some vids when its done!

The head has been skimmed. When I can afford it I'm getting a rev3 head and getting work done to it. But tbh, if I hit 400bhp and it's gonna be reliable I doubt I'll do anything else to it! :D

are the 540's going to give you enough fuel?


540cc's max out at 430 flywheel horse power approx. So if thats the case I'm not worried as thats more than enough! I don't think I'll need to upgrade tho as there are quite a few other guys running the same setup without any problems.

can i ask why it had to be rebuilt?

Long story but I had an "ex-friend" map the car using his ears as detcans and no wideband which resulted in a melted piston. So I decided to go all out this time :)
 
Yup retail park :) Think you had a clio?

An LSD was std on rev3 turbos onwards but an optional extra on the rev2s, which with mine being a GT model has all the toys like air con, leather seats and lsd. Pretty sure almost none of the na mr2s had lsds.
