lippydave Posted December 17, 2010 Posted December 17, 2010 What about a newer shape Celica? 2000 plate 1.8VVTI under 2k now. Drives the wrong pair of wheels.... Unless it's pre 1985 or an ST4... Quote
echoz Posted December 17, 2010 Author Posted December 17, 2010 Don't like celica's had a 306 DTurbo S Quote
dombanks Posted December 17, 2010 Posted December 17, 2010 were the 306's small or light, or something. on paper they are not particulaly awe-inspiring? i must been missing the point here (abit like saabs) or am i looking at the wrong ones? 1.9td enigine? the new shape one with the vvt-li one goes quite well. a GT-4 woudl be good but its group 20 tho, can you fit a turbo to the MR2? i know you could get an import one with a turbo in it that is supposed to go like stink Quote

Fairly easy to get decent power out of 'em. A couple of more extreme examples have around the 500bhp mark extracted from them..... Thought about buying a rear turbo "clip", thst is, the rear end of a turbo that's either rotted or been dinked and teh rear end of the car chopped off with the engine still in situ. Pull and swap the motor, the loom is more or less identical, a bit of a rework of the exhaust and Bob's yer Father's bruvver... It just seems a bit of a work up to go to that much effort for a cheap and cheerful toy ...... Although I've "finished" fettling my current toys and I will be looking for a project as soon as I've paid my corporation tax bill.... Hmmmmmmm..... Quote
echoz Posted December 17, 2010 Author Posted December 17, 2010 I thought my 306 d turbo (on a P reg) went like stink for what it was. was certainly no slouch, plenty of torque and plenty of pull up the gear range (until the gearbox died ) lol QUOTE Bob's yer Father's bruvver... does he have t**s? i think it would be a good idea if i were to gte an mr2 it would be reasonable to get used to it 1st before even thinking about turbo routes lol Quote
