Project ST165-ST205 Swap

Thanks guys!

Manual boost controller stopped working. Picked up a Turbosmart EBoost Street and cranked her up to just under fuel cut for the MR2 ECU.



10.5 AFR @ WOT.

 

Push it to 1.1

Finally picked up a set of JDM corners. Needed some polishing so I polished and then wired it up.









Moved the placement of my turbosmart boost controller to a mounted position on the factory BOV.



Also took a few interior shots in the sun because why not?

 

End of Summer Upgrade

I spent the last few weeks upgrading a few key components:

1) Larger heat exchanger.
2) Larger IC pump
3) Heat wrap top mount heat exchanger
4) Cut and fiberglass the ST205 original airbox.
5) Run a force-fed intake from the lower front pump. Inspiration from here: http://www.alltrac.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?f=44&t=50901
6) Battery relocation to trunk.

Heat exchanger arrives.



Xbox One S controller for scale.



Draining the coolant from the original IC.



Intercooler removal.



Bosch/cobra pump installed.



Using zip ties to measure positioning.







Using some threaded rod and rod ends, heat exchanger mounted.



Heat wrapped the top mount intercooler







Fiberglassed and fitted ST205 airbox. No pics of fiberglass process (sorry). It required the entire bottom section to be cut and fiberglassed over.



Used an aluminum project box to store my various fan and accessory relays.







Cut a 3" hole to run the air ducting to the factory airbox.







Bumper hole still needs some triming.



Battery mounted in the rear passenger hatch.





Still a few more things to do so I'll add more pictures once completed.
