RobSR Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Pretty sure an FTE comes in at about 80 without the box, 2zz is about 115kg irrc and the box is defo going to weigh more on that too. Be interesting too see how it handles either way. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Socks Posted December 17, 2014 Author Share Posted December 17, 2014 any updates on this matt? james Waiting on my turbo to arrive from USA at the moment to start fabrication on the turbo kit I think its great doing something different and great engineering. What are you planning on using it for? Surely its only going to work as a dragger? Id be concerned it'll handle like a sack with all the added weight over the front end? Done anything to counter that? Pretty sure an FTE comes in at about 80 without the box, 2zz is about 115kg irrc and the box is defo going to weigh more on that too. Be interesting too see how it handles either way.The 2zz-ge is lighter then a 4efte. Mainly because the 2zzge is an alloy block with cast iron liners. The 4efte is a complete cast iron bottom end.The E153 MR2 gearbox is heavier then the C52 though. The setup is very similar in total weight. Certainly nothing that can not be countered with a decent setup. If i'd have used a 3s-gte engine. Then it would have been VERY heavy at the front! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RobSR Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 (edited) Yea 3S weights a ton. What have you got the weights for an fte and 2zz at then? http://web.archive.org/web/20071015163901/http://rmf.fi/m_p_ja_m.htm Edited December 17, 2014 by RobSR Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Na in all seriousness. I did some forum digging and got the weights... There wasn't much in it but the 2zz was lighter... Especially when you remove all the shit from the 4e-fte and 2zz-ge that wasn't needed. PAS Pump, AC Pump, Secondary Air Induction Loop System. etc Yes same engine that comes out the Celica & Corolla T Sport and the Lotus Elise/Exige Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Then it would have been VERY heavy at the front! 2ZZ liners use MMC (Metal Matrix Composite), very hard to machine unless you have the right tooling. What are you doing about lift? Keeping it at 6200 or lowering the crossover point? A set of Stage 3 MWR cams might help your spool times too.Day Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We can play with lift points and such when being tuned... The major problem imo owning a TS daily. Is the gear ratios don't suit the power band (lifted area). Compared to an ep3... The ep3 is much easier to keep in the lift zone! See how the MR2 gear ratios fair! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The ep3 is much easier to keep in the lift zone! See how the MR2 gear ratios fair! Definitely gonna be interesting to watch. And I know the feeling, the ratios just dont match up to what the engine wants to do, as for 6th gear, it may aswell not even have it lol. This car is the only one thats made me consider an auto lol.Day Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Socks Posted January 26, 2015 Author Share Posted January 26, 2015 Cheers Chaps... @Colin - There not mate, I work VERY hard lol@Rob - The ease of being able to pull boost out of each gear, or add it back in, to adjust for tyre size/weather conditions. etc without the need of a laptop mainly For those of you who cant put that turbo size into perspective... Will be roughly there also... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
