Toyota MR2 Project
Posted: Fri Oct 02, 2009 9:25 am
Well, after lurking around here, reading as much as I can to understand the unit, I thought I'd give some information about my MR2 project, which is nearing completion.
It's 1995 MR2 GTS, which has had the 3SGTE removed and replaced with a fully built 5VZ-FE (3.4ltr V6) - forged bottom end and fully built head. The engine was built by 5VZ-FE specialists in the US (Sea2Sky) and shipped over to Woodsport for installation, along with a nice GT4094R, TiAL wastegate, etc. The fuel system is running dual Walbros and 1000cc injectors; the car has had ABS hubs retrofitted for installation of the traction control feature in the Solaris.
Power goal is around 700bhp, but anything over 600bhp will be nice, as I've sized the turbo for spool and usability, rather than the 1/4 mile smile.
Initially, I had planned to use an AEM, but Ryan talked me into the Solaris, which he is making the harness for on the 14th Oct 09 and then installing for the cars first start on 15th Oct 09. I won't be using half of the features of the Solaris unit, but I will be having the Boost Control, Traction, Launch, Knock, etc. There's a WI system to go on, eventually, but I just want it running smoothly first.
I've got an AEM basemap CAL file here, will be of any use to get it running with the Solaris?
I'll update with the results, and I'm sure Ryan will pop in and comment too.
Oh, I've also ordered another Solaris S6PNP to on my VVTi Supra...
Cheers.
