Or whilst we're on the subject how about a bi-turbo engine from a Venturi Atlantique?

________________________________________

suck my plums!

later engines had a form of variable valve timing.
A good 10bhp can be pickd up by ditching the 2nd set of cats.

My d8 is presently running at 210bhp.
But got a few bits on the back burner that should pick up another ten or so

I had a quick look for a clio V6 engine but nothing, judging by the price of the car there is no way you would get an engine for a decent price. Gear cables and linkages would be good though.

As we all know you will never have enough power but with a 2 wheel drive of road buggy I need to keep it tractable (not sure about that spelling) not power that comes in all of a sudden like a car with a big turbo.

"second set of cats" I take it thet those things just after the manifolds are cats then there are 2 cats along side each other just in front of the gear stick?

It's the D9 plex engine, all these had it fitted, the engine's although looking the same are very much different, Head inc in that belive it or not,
You can get them to work but requires a few ££ as you need custom fuel rails and mappable ECU, Cheaper to use the D8 and it's more reliable, no coil pack issues and the D8's seem to always make around 200>210bhp, my old one did and that was std bar a Air Filter which helped on dip in the midrange.

I am working on the figures "on paper" which is all I have to go on that this d9 engine has in standard form 10/15 bhp and more importantly for what I want 10/15 more lbs/ft of torque more than the d8, Yes I might have more problems getting it to work but with the complete loom out of the car it should not make any differance if it is all in the car shell or in a buggy space frame, it is a pain to have loads of wires hanging about not needed but unless I can get someone to make me up a "race" loom for sensible money that is how it will have to be, the same would apply to the d8 engine and thats how the MR2 engine thats in it at the moment is. I will have to re make the exhaust so whilst doing that if I can remove the cats and that gives me more power then that is good but not wanting to spend big money on tuning the engine.
How will I go on if I just make up my own exhaust from the manifolds, (I need to move the inner cv joint on the drivers side a lot closer to the diff but then it will get cooked by that big exhaust loop) will I need the 4 lamber sensers or heaters or what ever they are, and would it make any differance if I made 2 seperate exhausts (not linked) for the front 3 and rear 3 cylinders but keep them the same length.

If your using the complete loom then you'll need all the sensor's, The D8 exhaust manifolds fit but I would remake the D/P as these are very restrictive.
I doubt anyone would make a Race loom, I know I wouldn't due to the amount of wires and the system going funny if you remove any, the D9 ECU must have around 150pins off the top of my head which sends info to the display for any fault reports even from the ABS system etc. Late car's too had other systems to boot so earlier the better

Slight tangent, but given that there's already an MR2 engine in there, I seem to recall (well, couple of mates who have MR2s were telling me) that there's a 200+bhp Toyota V6 engine, out of a Camry I think, that drops straight in to the MR2 engine bay. Almost suspiciously easy, fuelling rumours that Toyota had actually designed it to go in to the MR2 as well, but decided against it at the last minute.

Might want to look into that, cos it could be a much more straightforward swap than trying to make the multiplexed 406 engine fit & work..?

Project é - my 306 project thread.

Great minds think alike I bought a camry for that reason then decided it was not that quick and difficult to get a flywheel for but the main reason is it is a steel block so quite heavy, you can get the alloy block engines but much more money. still got the complete car so will be for sale.

My buggy is doing quite well considering (5th 6th and 7th overall at club events against some mega money vehicles) The problem is that I am using 27 and 29 inch tall rear tyres where as the MR2 uses tyres around 23 inches tall so it is very over geared, not going to start buying special gearbox's etc I will leave that to the competition who have more money than sence, I am having to slip the clutch out of tight turns often up to 8 times a lap! then the other problem is I am only using low gears and I get it on the rev limiter in first then change up to second and it is nowhere near where it makes good power/ I think this REV3 engine has 140 ft/lbs of torque and 174 bhp but does not feel like it. It needs more of both especially the torque to help out with the gearing, I did have a go at making up a low blow turbo for it but ran out of time before the last event of the season this is why I have gone for a V6 with more bhp and a lot more torque also if the gearing is still high I can use a gearbox from a Boxer van which is lower ratio.

I have the ECU with me, which numbers should I be looking at?

Am I doing somthing wrong I can only post one picture at a time?

Have a chat with noel at nur motorsport about looms and putting a camry in , instead of the mr2 lump

His current mr2 turbo project is having a v8 lump put in.

he may be able to help you with a loom, has to be worth a try,
take a look at some of his other projects aswell.
