After
a summer of beatings, I did some research and found out
that 950-1000C EGT (exhaust tempatures) were not good !!!
I started to have some cooling problems and we decided to
once again, pull the head off this bad boy, only to see my
beuatiful JE pistons looked like the Rocky Mountains, and
I had wrecked the crown of my cylinder head. By this
time, I was all over the chat groups with my fellow MR2
owners, and getting into the scene. The guys had
encouraged me to build a monster project, and that was
what I decided to do. In the process of the downtime,
since I was broke, I started to save and buy parts, one by
one, over the winter. Parts kept rolling in and another
summer passed, another winter, and so on. I was buying so
many parts, the wholesaler started to give me discounts.
I decided it was time to make some money back, and started
selling parts on the net. My new income was becoming
larger, and I was in the position that I needed to
register a business. We called
it "eXtremeBoost.com". I had a 500 RWHP goal in mind for
this MR2, and that seemed almost impossible out of a 2.0L
4 Cylinder. |
