my mate has a '92 g limited non turbo mr2 and he wants to convert it to turbo, i have no idea really on this and neither does he since he cant access the net etc, just wondering if anyone out there knows the best way to do this? does the 3SGTE turbo engine drop straight in? what other mods would be required to do this conversion?

thanks heaps... ben...

I would suggest dropping in an ST205 Celica GT4 3SGTE as they are internally stronger than the earlier ST185 3SGTE and also produce more power stock than the ST185

but definately do the whole engine conversion... dont bolt a turbo to the 3SGE

Have a chat to the guys aty BD4's or Advan perfomance about the work involved. I know BD4's recently completed an MR2 where they started by dropping an ST205 3SGTE into it and going from there...

      Thanks for the linkie. Certainly always a great deal of help when people post comparisons like these, but I think for now I'll stay away from any semi slicks. I did go ahead and order the sportcontact 7. My buddy has them on his modified A4 and he keeps saying how good they are. For my intended purposes these will probably work real well. I'll report on them once I had the chance to try them out

      Talk about noisy. Even when I still had the Tomei under the car I could distinctly hear the tires rolling. And I doubt I ever will need maximum grip like on a track. My GTR will maybe never even see the 600hp mark and I need to get used to the car quite a bit before challenging the limits of its handling. For the next winter storage I think I will get a set of these rubber drive-on thingies that have a tire shaped base. Those supposedly really help prevent flat spots.

      Well our climate is definitely way less hot overall and the weather can be quite picky at times. I just know that during normal road use or even spirited drives there is no way I'd be able to consistently stay in the operating temperature, and constantly changing the tire pressure would also be a royal pain.

      Input shaft bearing. They all do it. There is always rollover noise in Nissan boxes - particularly the big box. Don't worry about it unless it gets really growly.

      For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
