it did .8 BAR
seems pretty weak for a GEN 2 motor.
someone had played with the duty cycles on my AVC-R it spiked to 1.2BAR (16psi) on low oil.. some knock started to happen and I didnt know it low on oil.. till it was too late damage had happened

Yeah that AVCR is evil, my mate works at a car yard and took a customers car out, r34 gtt skyline anyway hes playing with the avcr and says whats 2 bar boost  after putting it up to 2 bar, and it was on 1 bar originally. The car did fly after, but luck we didnt blow the engine or turbo's that day.
whats a gen3 3sgte mr2 rear cut worth?.

they go from 2.5k to 5k depending on condition etc
is the gen 3 really worth over the gen2?
im on a budget and it seems like it will cost me 8K to get a new engine in now thats alot of money is it better buy another motor to stregthen or just go all out gen 3?
whats involved in the swap?
|
a rebuild with forgies etc of the gen2 wont' cost you 8k
and ESPECIALLY if you take it out yourself, maybe half that

bd4s are very fluent with sw20 mr2's and well anything mr2 really youll probably leave with a hks turbo too.

He said he has a budget though.
The Gen 3 is good. It's probably more cost effective to get your engine rebuilt though, or even replace it with a good known running Gen 2.
