engine spec
Turbo Mini Forums

i was wondering if someone could suggest a basic spec for a slightly modded metro turbo engine. looking to make about 130 bannannas from a 1293,9:1 compression and a T2.5 turbo.
keep in mind im on a g string budget

thanks

Phase 2 cam, NA MG Metro size inlet valves, 10 or 12psi of boost, job done.

at this power stage / pressure a t2 will be more efficient and livable (more like a supercharger )

thanks Tom
beer with yer name on it if your ever down here

fab i wasnt able to find a t2 to buy so it has to be a T25

what about a dizzy? is megajolt worth it? considering it needs lotsa setting up and stuff

Ive got my head round it now (i think!) but not being the best with electricals/computers i was a bit daunted by it all.

MJ is cheaper than a custom dizzy, is more reliable, pretty much the perfect advance curve can be acheived, and it is reprogrammable so can be reused over and over on different engine etc etc...

I think its worth it

Hi,
I'd never go back to a dizzy!
Although the MJ would be better with air temp compensation, especially in hotter climates...

dave spotted shippo t2's on ebay, didn't worth?
does it have 0.49 a/r?
if it does , it is useless regarding your specs,or at least a t2 one will give you three car lengh at each pick up

Hi,
I think you'd get 130 bananas out of a bog standard engine with 10psi and an intercooler.
I wouldn't change the cam, unless you plan to go for more power later....

now theres an idea bat


the reason im wary of mj is that it appears to take a lot of setting up and installation appears to be tricky from what ive read on here

Hi,
Not really, some people have had issues with initial communication, but that's down to PC setup rather than MJ. Mapping doesn't take too long, no longer than doing a custom dizzy would.
Off boost stuff you can do yourself on the road.
Cheers,
Gavin :)
