What Turbo?, built 3s Options

[celicaracer18]

Whats up guys, its been a while. i've been so freaking busy with working and going to school in Alabama and going back to meridian MS every week to work on the car and just haven't had time

and yes the final date has changed i wil not be getting my car back this year

i will be taking the car to XAT on dec 10. over a month later than originally scheduled because of complications with getting the motor there.

i'm no longer getting the 3rd gen MR2 3s, i'm getting a 4th gen caldina motor now.


it will be built and i was getting the turbonetics t3/t04e 60-1 ball bearing turbo. but i'm not sure if i still am or not.i think i am going to get that or the turbonetics t04e 60-1 ball bearing turbo. so if you guys that know alot could give me some advise. or some other turbo suggestions. thanks


by the way just so you know the motor will have .20 over pistons, knife edged crank, balanced and blue printed block, slight port job, and all nrw internals, ferrea valve train with HKS cams, custome intake and exhaust manifols and all custom piping, to name all the main parts that affect the motors power out put

yeah its actually already half paid for and the other half is sitting in the bank. and yeah its about 15K

it is a street/strip car. i will be driving my gf's RX8 most of the time on the street but the celica will get driven regularly.

so i guess i should stick with the t3/to4e for quicker spool time.

hopefully it will have enough power to give me what i want. i'm not sure.

as far as ignition goes. anybody else have suggestions. i am starting to becom limted on cash what kind or money am i talking to upgrade it to what i need

Have you read the 3sgte power primer on the mr2controls website? Its here if you havent: Power Primer

Stock ignition is fine well past 350whp.

As for a t3/t4, understand that there are LOTS of variants of T3/T4's that perform very differently. What is your power goal and then we can recommend a t3/t4 which makes some sense.
