2011 06 16: Modlist so far

For now, the modlist(that will be in my Pinkie) is:


Engine (3S-GTE rev1):
Blitz Access ECU;
Uprated alluminum intercooler;
ARP head studs;
Samco hose kit for cooling system from rev2;
Denso Iridium IK22 spark plugs;

Exhaust:
De-Cat downpipe;
Custom straight freeflow exhaust;

Intake:
Green air filter;

Suspension/Brakes:
Ohlins schocks with weitec lowering springs;
Braided brake hoses;

Exterior:
Lenso RS5 17x7 +35
Rev3 JDM rear lights;
Painted in custom Pink/Red with black top parts;

Misc:
Blitz turbo timer;
Blitz turbo boost gauge;

      I am planning to go with about 1- 1.2 bar of boost, when metal head gasket is installed, so I hope I will reach about 260-280hp. Unfortunately, I still don't know if Turbo (CT26) is in good condition.

It will look really different

at the end of a project

Preparing for a swap

The black MR2 Turbo came with a following mods: 
Blitz Access ECU;
Ohlins adjustable schocks;
Braided brake lines (unfortunately one is standard);
Uprated intercooler;
Lenso RS5 17x7 wheels with a good tires;
Apiro air filter (probably peace of sh... and will be replace with my current Green);

And the bad things also:
Alternator was not working, but not it's repaired;
Head gasket is blow or head is broken, this is the biggest problem;

Repairing of alternator:

Celica 7gen on left and MR2 on right

AEM pulley from Celica alternator

 Is done and working now. I changed diode pack.

Of course, I will not leave it a stock, so before I change an engine, I need some things :)

Now I have:

Blitz turbo timer

Blitz boost gauge

De-cat downpipe (no name)

Main things to buy left:
Metal head gasket;
Timing belt (BluePrint bought);
Spark plugs (ordered already Denso Iridium IK22);
Manual boost controller(not electronic because of lack of money);
Prothane suspension bushing kit;

Come back later for next parts of a project :)

Pinkie is changing appearence

Here is a couple of photos of how Pinkie looks now(changed wheels, bonnet, rear engine cover, rear trunk with spoiler. Also mudflaps fitted and front lip. For me, it looks much better now :)

 

Big changes! "Pinkie" is preparing to become Turbo!

2011 04 21 - the date, my dream came true. The MR2 Turbo GT JDM came from UK to me. After about a year of searching the ebay and etc. finally I managed to buy that car. As I was buying just for a turbo swap into my Pinkie, I wasn't looking at any car mods or something. There was only an engine that was important for me. But when it came to me, I was really glad with what I've found. The chassis is in perfect condition, no rust at all, engine has no harmful mechanical sounds.
Here is a couple of photo and all other info you can find HERE.
