Hmmmm.....
Interestingly enough I was doing some work on the exhaust over the weekend. Looks like the flange o-ring on the rear bank was never seated properly A section of it was un-compressed and charred like it had spent it's whole life inside the pipe.
Replaced both front and back flange gaskets and she's running quieter and smoother than ever.
I so love working on my car
I think I'm hooked....

P.S HKSFTO has mivec permently set to the high cam, so you will probably own me at launch. Don't think i haven't thought about changing that. What are you running in the MR2 anyway?

I'm kinda lost, what you mean by permently set to the high cam? MIVEC is the high cam & it only kicks in after 5500rpm.WildRide wrote:

the MR2 is running standard everything except for an ARC super induction box. A full 3" exhaust and dump pipe will be fitted by Friday and so will the new manifold
I think we should race on Elgar Rd near my house on Sunday and use their speed cameras as a start and finishing point for a nice photo finish

Awsome........use their speed cameras as a start and finishing point
I actually got done by one the other day.
74 in a 70 zone.......
I feel like such a failure.
I don't deserve to own an fto if I'm going to go that slow.....
The mivec point on hks has been set to below idle. I'm not 100% sure why. I think they had some issues with the cam shifting under boost.
Definately thinking about push in that up to about 3.5k.
Need to do some research first.

Ohhh now I get it W.R, could it be because you running boost on single bank instead of both bank like Mikey's?? How big is your dump pipe??
V type engine, with high compression ratio, Variable Valve timing plus the pressure from a turbo, well u can do the math’s how tricky it would be to get it right.

Turbo is fed off both banks.
There is a few little things to be done. Pod shroud has already gone on, Extractors are stock, plus the interior is pretty basic.
Plenty to keep me happily busy.
This thread is waaay of track.
Does anyone else feel like joining us on a nice law abiding cruise on Sunday?

Did you change it to both bank? Scracy told me it was running off a single bank before.
And Recaro TomCat isn't exactly plan or basic either heheeh So r u going to enter your car for the SQ comp that Mil had posted in the other thread, yours should do well. (don't reply this Q here hehhee reply at the other thread)
Hmmmm I wonder if Shue had read this post yet? Shue r u going, since u got nothing to do on Sunday anyway
