I like the way you use "waste" rather than spend there phil! s:roll: :roll: s:roll:

Its appropriate when the total mods for the car is running at around 14k (without the labour and servicing and stuff)

The car only cost me 10.5k :s

When you put it that way i suppose it is! s:shock: :shock: s:shock:

Has anyone heard the latest on this from Rogue? There were a few people who seemed very interested(me included)but the thread seems to have died s:? :? s:?

SteveJ is heading to Rogue at the weekend to see if his engine is bollocksed so should be able to give you an update when he gets back.

Have emailed Patrick direct to see if there is any news?

Rogue · November 27, 2006, 12:32

Sorry for the lack of updates guys - so many forums, so little time!

The job was held up while we waited for an Apexi PowerFC to arrive from Japan, and then again while we waited for a Celica 6 speed box.
All installed and running now, just some ECU tweeking required before it goes out on the road:

We can do this all day every day now if we need to! We'll sit down and work out prices and timescales before the end of the week.

that's my car!!

mapping as we speak;

hoping for some good news tomorrow

i promise that you'll be the first to hear

btw apparently the six speed gearbox is essential to get the most out of the increased cam lift/duration of the 2zz, hence the wait while i sourced one.

i live in the sticks and am somewhat nocturnal, tend to find i use all the revs available to me, so this conversion makes good sense.

ultimately i forsee forced induction, whether it's a GT28rs or a Rotrex supercharger remains to be seen. i am told that the standard celica clutch will be sufficient until then, after that i'm looking at £350+vat for something stronger

regards,

(a very excited)

damn hope you change your socks as often, last week you reckoned a 2zz totally unsuitable for a roadster.

Ferrari Enzo is a road car, is a 2zz turbo'd roadster quicker somehow? Must be on Jay-K's to buy list. s:lol: :lol: s:lol:

No car is too OTT for the road (unless it has rocket boosters) as long as it has a smooth tune that allows you to potter around still (like the McLaren F1 does according to tiff). You are in control of how far you push the accelerator down I would hope! s:? :? s:?

I was referring to the fact that to get the best out of the 2zz you need to keep the revs up which doesnt make for a relaxing drive.

2ZZ turbo gives you the best of both worlds (and more s:twisted: :twisted: s:twisted: )

I'm sooo in a hurry to get my 6spd egarbox !!

So, no different from the 1ZZ then? Because we all know what a powerhouse the 1ZZ is under 4000rpm.. s;)
