Here is a brief document describing how to remove (or rather how I remove) the turbocharger from the MKII MR2. The reason for removing the turbo here is because a couple of the exhaust manifold studs have come loose and are stripped. I plan on repairing them with time inserts. If you have to stock [...]

The purpose of this mod is to allow the underbody airflow to hit the front of the oilpan, and carry away some of the heat in the oil. The mod was found on a video where Garage Fukui (Phoenix Power) quickly outlined it at their shop. Thanks go out to Shane Craddock for showing the [...]

These are just some notes on installing the stock turbocharger back into the MR2. I start out by loosely bolting the turbo oil pipe to the turbocharger (two 10mm bolts). The dump pipe (downpipe) is not installed. If the turbocharger stay bracket was removed, I would leave it off, and install it later, but if [...]

The objective was to design a way to monitor various engine parameters and
log them using a serial port to a laptop or other serial device. This was
attempted before using an 8051 type board. See ECU project.

The following parameters are currently monitored directly from [...]

RX-7 twin tower ignition coils installed in MR2 Turbo.
The goal of the project was to design and build an affordable ignition upgrade for the MR2 Turbo (3S-GTE). The original plan was to build my own ignition circuits using the Motorola MC3334P chip, and four ignition coils (one for each spark plug). The MC3334P chip has [...]

Since I plan to run some quicker times this year, I thought it would be a good idea to pick up a set of Axle upgrade parts from ATS Racing. Axle breaks are common on MKII’s with good traction making above 300rwhp. I decided to do the install without pulling the full axles out of [...]

This mod is intended to supply the maximum amount of voltage available to the fuel pump, and upgrade the wires when using a Supra pump which usually pulls right around 20 amps, by getting power directly from the battery, and not through the complicated stock wiring circuit normally handles less than 15 amps. This has [...]
