Cheers dude... I know its not an ek or any honda for that matter, but just thought id post it up as were all into cars :) and i am apart of this forum.
 
wow man.. what engine is that.. most people seem to do the 5e conversion... i just bought an Ep91 actually :) EK9.ORG starlet crew :woot:

lol om the same though it aint a civic but this forum is Beast lol
 
Really like this can't wait to see figures! :)

Thanks! yes me and you both.. Its get road mapped so wont know figures just yet, but if we can get around 30PSI id be very happy.

Its an MR2 turbo engine rev 3.. This is around 2050cc with overbore. Yeah the 5E is a nice easy conversion.. This is all custom work and fabrication. But so worth it for the amount of torque from this motor.

Thing looks and most definately is terrifying to drive

Haha it was pretty dam wild with 300-320bhp, so once mapped now it should be quite frightening lol.. It only weighs 900KG so should be around 550BHP per tonne.
 
Cheers gav! He he, yeah will be a good crack lol
 
jesus dan! i remember being about 16 before i had my license, i joined TGTT and was on the lookout for a glanza!remember reading your build thread and seeing you had an ek9 aswell! now a few years on,im driving an ek9 and you,ve only finished this! fair play for sticking with it!
 
damnnn this is goin to be such a monster.. cant wait to see some vids of this car running...great job mate :)
 
damnnn.... this is goin to be such a monster, cant wait to see vids of this car running..great job :)
 
Glad to see you atleast have a rollcage in that thing:D Hope the mapping goes well, it's going to be nuts with all that power and so little weight:nerv:

Haha you remember lol! Well its been off road for 4 years, thats when i bought the ek9, then the 350z then an ep3 now all i have is this and my van so put all the effort into this one car.

damnnn this is goin to be such a monster.. cant wait to see some vids of this car running...great job mate :)

Will sure put a couple of silly videos up ha, cheers mate :)

Haha i know i thought with the power i had in mind it was a must to put a minimum of a cage lol. I hope its nuts, i need some adrenaline in my life at the moment :drive: Thanks dude, fingers crossed it all goes well :)

looks like an awesome build, get some videos up !

Will do bro cheers :nice:
 
Glad to see it's finished mate. Looks like it will certainly shift. Planning to 1/4 mile it at all? Imagine with that sort of power it will be a struggle to get the power down? The front wheels cant be that wide surely? Hope you get a dry day for the mapping! :drive:
 
Hats off to you mate. I've been thinking about this project for years, having already done a silvertop, blacktop and 4efte in a corolla e11 g6. Will this be staying fwd?
 
Holy **** ,its is going to be a tyre shredder,Am I right in saying a 3sgte is out of a mr2 ?

Yeah i will be doing some quarter mile for some fun.. I dont take all that too seriously, im more interested how it performs on the road, the torque, the feel of the car etc... and of course on track. And it handles amazingly. I will have a boost cut off switch that will run off the wastegate at only 0.6 bar so probably around the 300hp mark for traction and track use.. so for dragging i can turn full boost on half way up the strip. Im only running 195 at the moment but planning on going 215/225 at some point... On 175 tires on the old 300hp set up it used to be very fast and gain enough traction to stay with the likes of lambos etc so should be ok... Thanks Martin i hop i get a good dry day, the weather is saying sunny on wednesday.

Thank dude, yes its still fwd... The torque of this engine in this car is unreal, even off boost it just picks up without any lag. its great. If you have the right knowledge i would recommend it.

Holy **** ,its is going to be a tyre shredder,Am I right in saying a 3sgte is out of a mr2 ?

Definitely will shred some tires haha... Your are right mate.. Its the rev 3 mr2 245hp stock.
