mr2 diagnostics

[dern]

Are there any on-board diagnostics on the mr2 turbo (1992, j-reg) to show any problems with sensors and so on? If there are how do you activate it and what do the code mean?

Info or links greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Mark

Drove my first mr2 turbo tonight, liked it a lot

I must admit I thought it wasn't as quick as I had expected. Given a exhaust, cat pipe, filter and unichip (which tonight's car didn't have) what sort of power should I expect and would the unichip up the power significantly over a standard car?

They handle very well indeed though, nice cars.

Thanks,

Mark

Mr E said: You can boost an 2nd Gen 3S-GTE to around 300bhp on stock internals without too many issues. A de-cat will help the turbo spin up faster and a fuel cut defented will enable you to run more boost on the stock turbo.

The route I'd planned to go with was exhaust, cat by-pass pipe, air filter and the unichip which seems to be the best way to get a tailored map. Will this get me near the 300bhp? Does the unichip perform the fuel cut defender mod as well?

Biggest issue you're likely to have is heat I'm afraid.

Cooling can be a bit marginial when you turn up the wick....

Are there any accepted approaches to increasing the cooling of the motor?

Thanks for the info,

Water spray is possible and not that expensive.....

Are we talking about engine temperature or inlet air temperature? I understand why spraying water in the inlet manifold would reduce the temp of the air going into the engine and potentially produce more power but how would it help with reducing engine temperature?

Thanks,
