Stefan_s Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 (edited) hi, as some of you will know i own a 239bhp td04 glanza but the gearbox died so took it off the road and doing loads of work to it to make it mint. in the mean time i needed a car so my mum kindly gave me an mg zr 1.4 as she was getting a new car it was quite fun but really slow and boring so i decided to swap it for this! Its a 2.0 gt uk spec, 2 lady owners from new with 86000 miles and full service history up to 76000 and loads of receipts and history for all work thats been done, plans are to tidy it up, new wheels and maybe lower it slightly thanks Stefan Edited November 19, 2013 by Stefan_s Quote Link to post Share on other sites

miib14 Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 not vvti, it has ACIS. butterflies in the inlet manifold chamber that open at 5500rpm.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stefan_s Posted November 10, 2013 Author Share Posted November 10, 2013 oh right cool, learn something new everyday haha Quote Link to post Share on other sites
miib14 Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 A picture of the butterflies you can buy a spacer for this, and it does help with getting abit more power, much better mid range and top end pull, doesnt affect low down torque (which is already great) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stefan_s Posted November 10, 2013 Author Share Posted November 10, 2013 where can i get a spacer like that? lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
miib14 Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 can either get your own made (probably cheaper) or off ebay, but be warned they aren't cheap lol http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ACIS-Toyota-Celica-MR2-3SGE-Rev3-Power-Spacer-Deck-/111189669130?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item19e36bb50a http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Toyota-MR2-Celica-3SGE-performance-ACIS-Spacer-/281197566448?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item4178ae59f0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
miib14 Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 if you need any inspiration for engine / power mods have a look at my build ;D Quote Link to post Share on other sites
miib14 Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 i also just noticed thats its a 98 spec uk, which means that it will have an egr valve on it, which means that its roughly 167bhp stock instead of the prefacelift 177bhp Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stefan_s Posted November 10, 2013 Author Share Posted November 10, 2013 Oh right, can that be removed? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
miib14 Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 yeah it can, remove and put a blanking plate over it, all for emmision purposes tbh Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stefan_s Posted November 10, 2013 Author Share Posted November 10, 2013 Cool will get that done at somepoint lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
miib14 Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 yeah, instant power bump.. yours will have a 4-1 exhaust manifold design, the prefacelift had a 4-2-1 manifold design Quote Link to post Share on other sites
