Tte turbo reference

wotugonado · March 11, 2018, 14:21

As we're a small minority in this Tte turbo club, and info is sparse. I thought I'd start a thread that can be used as a reference for us and future owners. For example, I've spent a good few hours searching for iridium plugs for the kit and thanks to fellow owners have the answer so I'll start with this. As things need replacing I will update this thread. Please feel free to add any relevant info you have.

Standard sparkplugs - NGK BKR6E-11
Iridium sparkplugs - Denso sk20r11

Replacement actuator

The Actuator is very close to one used on an old Saab, so I went to forge motorsports and had a custom tuneable one made based on this.
Below are the order codes and all the specs needed for actuator rod and turn buckle.

They're easily tuneable by swapping out the springs for different strength ones which alters the psi at which the actuator operates

Jason/Ardent knows where to find a replacement intercooler I think. I'd sure love to find out where from. My searches aren't returning any results.

you only have to ask.

Don't think any amount of googling would reveal the answer.

Mysterious......... Spill or as a protest the roof remains permanently up, ALL SUMMER

@wotugonado breaking by out the big guns there Dan.

Ardent · March 17, 2018, 12:31

the answer was on the old forum.

Ardent · March 17, 2018, 12:40

Give these guys a ring.
https://www.motorsportradiators.co.uk/ supply some type flight stuff

I presented them with the original battered TTE intercooler (schweiser???) and they copied it remanufactured it what ever you want to call it. With their more modern core.

I will try and dig pics out. Made a fantastic job. Perfect replica. Installed straight in no fettling required.

Yes they did have the sense to keep the measurements so could reproduce.
Could not believe my luck. They are a mile from my front door.

No kickbacks in it for me, but if you mention MR2 TTE roadster and a short fat bloke, they should recall what intercooler you are on about.

T'da

shnazzle · March 17, 2018, 12:52

Did they just re-core it or did they produce the whole thing from scratch?

Ardent · March 17, 2018, 13:07

the whole thing

Ardent · March 17, 2018, 13:08

with a bit more digging have pics of it fitted.

wotugonado · March 17, 2018, 13:52

Good to know what the correct engine code is when I go turbo on mine

Standard plugs swapped over today for iridium ones, massive difference. If doing this yourself I did some googling and it recommends closing the spark gap as its turbo'd, so I bought a gap tool and altered it to 1.05mm.

shnazzle · March 21, 2018, 17:30

Is it not just the fact you put fresh plugs in?

wotugonado · March 21, 2018, 18:27

Perhaps! They are changed every 12 months, so the ones taken out have not really had a hard life. But putting the recommended iridium colder plugs in as opposed to what was previously fitted, has made a big difference, who knew

And as they're meant to be a cleaner burn I'm hoping this will help the old emissions too.

A turbo might be more sensitive
