That's what I'm hoping. 138bhp certainly isn't the sweet spot!  I really don't know why Toyota didn't offer the 2zz from the factory...

Once you have driven a TTE turbo you won't mention 2zz unless it has a turbo or supercharger attached   s8) 8) s8)

Quote from: "Rubber Ducky"he claims it's a private sale...
He can claim what he wants, unless the car is registered in his name & there is no trace of it through the books either coming in or going out then it's a commercial sale & you have his nads in your grip if anything goes wrong, he could try putting sold for spares/repairs on the invoice if he does walk away, in fact run away.

But I hope it's as good as it looks & my half empty glass is wrong.

We have agreed that the car is being sold as described in the eBay advert. I have downloaded a copy and saved it offline.

It looks a nice example, I'm sure it will be fine.

I hope so too - maybe he's just claiming it's a private sale so that he can "shelter" a few quid from the taxman...

Just look forward to collecting car and report back.

P.s when you have car can you let me know what boost it's running.

Great find!
A real unicorn.
I'm curious what changes to original TTE set up were made to reach 200 HP?
Do you have any idea?

The sp exhaust and boost controller should do it.

Insurance sorted out - £400 for the year, which seems pretty good to me.

Starting to get really excited now...

And you always seem to get a better deal.
I need to put more effort in.
First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

Well, I've got it. It's over boosting on full throttle - up to 1 bar indicated on the boost gauge. Could be a cheap, inaccurate boost gauge, of course... However, the car surges forward best when on part throttle and about 0.5 bar indicated boost.  I'm sure it can be sorted relatively easily, and it runs fine off boost, so no melted pistons or anything...

Electronic boost controller or a cheap fixed adjustable?

Just replaced a cheap ebay gauge for a quality plx item.
Old gauge somtimes showed 12psi new gauge has peak hold feature which hasnt gone above 9.7.
0.5 bar is 7 something psi which is probably about right for a tte 1 bar is seriously bad for a stock 1zz.

The current boost controller is a Turbosmart adjustable manual one. I've backed it right off, but the initial boost spike is still there - could this be due to the excessive length of piping..?  My next course of action will probably be to just bypass it altogether and let the wastegate actuator spring control the boost.  Hmm...

I think that is false economy, if you want to control it properly I know they are not exactly cheap but you need to use n electronic one, they are far more consistent.

Sounds a lot like Helen's car. Be careful. I've seen a 13psi spike, which is not good at all.

A good boost controller I'd say is pretty much the most important part of a turbo setup.

The spike will always be there on a manual controller.

I found this when I was explaining how boost controllers work to Helen.

Agreed - to a point. At the lower end of the market, manual boost controllers are a bit of a lottery, but Turbosmart products are well regarded. For set-and-forget boost adjustment, a decent manual boost controller should be all you need.

My first priority is to sort out the boost spike on initial throttle application.  1 bar of boost (transient) is way too high!

Thanks for the link. I think the best thing to do initially is to bypass the boost controller altogether and see how it runs with just the actuator spring regulating boost.

Watch this space...

That's what we've done  s:) :) s:)  runs strong, but obviously missing a lot of potential boost/power.
Solid 7psi on the gauge, in guessing resulting in about 190ish hp

I've just fitted a manual turbo smart boost controller on mine and I'm having a similar issue. Mine spikes up to 1bar I'm going to shorten the actuator as mine is at the shortest length already. That should give me a solid boost without using the manual boost controller.

About 10 years since I played with any turbo's MR2 making around 240-250 I wouldn't have trusted that engine with a bit of brass, a spring & a ball bearing,

That's reassuring (for me) that I'm not the only one with this issue. Looking at page 3 of the Turbosmart installation instructions, it mentions removing the ball and spring to stop boost spikes - worth a try...
