Rob_Mitchell Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Just bought couple of copys of the new banzai, nice feature on Michael Ing's MR2 which we done the bodywork/repaint on, lovely write up for the company too. Really is a nice car too. Michael also runs the kent car club which i belong too, nice bloke. Cant get the scanner working, can someone scan the pages for me? Really happy to get a mention, people like Ryan G obviously gets mentioned all the time but this is my first time on a 6 page feature, and the pics look great..... Just need my own car featured now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caesard Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Might do it tomorrow, although that is a huge amount of scanning to do. Today really busy with kids and all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Raven Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 (edited) That car is a work of shiney art. I will copy some pics over from the kent car owners club Top Gear This a nice little article in February's addition of Banzai Magazine. The part I liked most about the article is that it mentioned the people that had contributed to the project. Sadly quite often the owners of projects end up taking the full credit, so a big thank you from me to everyone involved.

Rob_Mitchell Posted January 21, 2012 Author Share Posted January 21, 2012 1MZ-FE, 3ltr V6. 200-210bhp. Got a lovely TRD supercharger ready to go on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnny g Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Got a lovely TRD supercharger ready to go on Ah the belt driven blow torch, or the centrifugal derived one? I've had the TRD S/C on my old V6 (pre turbo) and it wasn't much to write home about, especially versus the cost. However, the centrifugal ones are more promising. Problem is that the 1MZ is quite fragile with regards to knock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westy Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 (edited) Can just make out that the engine is a 1MZ-FE, which is a 3.0 ltr V6! Does this car have the supercharger conversion also!?

Rob_Mitchell Posted January 21, 2012 Author Share Posted January 21, 2012 not sure, i remember him saying they are like rocking horse poo, so he bought 2 lol. I dont really know much about MR2's with regards to tuning or bolt on mods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Mitchell Posted January 21, 2012 Author Share Posted January 21, 2012 He has a couple of these M-62 Supercharger obviously mirror polished Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnny g Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Yep, they're ok to about 4psi, then they start to get hot. After 7psi, they're blow-torches. That's the one I had on my old (first) V6 conversion. They're good for about 250bhp on a stocker at 4psi. With manifolds and map, then maybe 280bhp. IIRC Paul Woods, of Woodsport, was developing a Scion S/C which was centrifugal, rather than roots, and much more efficient. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
