272s give you a very rough idle so its not worth the cons if he still has the 5s head, 272s in a 3s head might be more productive and worth the consiquences.

Somebody buy some Webcams for their GT and then take me for a ride in it. I'm really curious what they would be like.

i'd try searching the MR2 forums for dyno runs before and after or something to the effect

www.mr2oc.com

they USE to say 30whp

I'd like to know if its worth it too... my friend said i shouldn't bother doing a turbo and just do cams and header for some performance gains...

the problem with web cam regrinds is that they've been designe for NA applications. Use in a turbo motor will probably hinder it performance. I don't know the specs on them, but I'm assuming there will be too much overlap. Something you may wanna look into before you start blowing wasting your money.

No, you can't. It's a completely different set up sadly. I asked that same question about a year ago. Honestly, all you have to do is look at the heads on each of them and you'll see there's not much chance in making it work.

I see that you've got a nice turbo set up, but your still wanting more power. When do you think that will end? Do you think getting a set of performance cams is going to satisfy you? Consider this, and the option of going with a 3s head. With the 2.2 liter block, and a 3s head, it's like a big bore 3s. You've got real room to grow with that.

I saw in your profile you were non-intercooled for a while. What kind of gains did you get without an intercooler?

ice23q

#25

Adding the cooler didnt really change anything much.....
but having no cool sure made the boost come on real quick....

I had the cooler made and fitted for two week before the engine went boom, but for the two week it ran like a wild thing.....

i have a lot of hope for my 5sgte build...
predictions anybody on what ill have when its finnished..?????
