2TR-FE Rebuild/Refresh

I looked into the max rpm of the stock mini cooper supercharger and its approximately 14k so assuming the stock redline of 5500rpm and if I overdrive the blower 2:1 I'm only at 1100rpm at redline. With an assumed efficiency of 70% on the engine and maybe 75-80% on the blower I'm looking at 6.5-9.5 psi of boost. Maybe the dream isn't dead.

I think I'll have to look at how easily I can slap this thing on to do a quick pressure test. If I slap the rrfpr on I can keep it rich and cheap to test things.

Has bad idea written all over but screw it.... see what I did there

 

LCE just made a valve kit for our engines...

I'm going that route, along with their header. That is, when I can drop $1k and have the time for it. Likely try and find a head, build it with the valve kit, then just swap. The header is an easy install

 

@Loxsl do you have to oem manual for this motor? If so could ypu pm me how you got it.

 

I'll have to go look tonight. I'll let you know

 

You can pull pdfs of the fsm from here: http://www.customtacos.com/tech.old/files/05FSM/repair.html

I have a zip file at the house with everything that I could upload later tonight if needed.

 

I’ll never say no to information do you want my email

 

Thank you

 

I just looked and the zip file is 200 MB, so that's not going to email.

 

It has begun

 

@Loxsl when you pulled the motor and put it back in did you leave the transmission or pulll it with it on? I’m thinking of leaving it attached and hooking everything up outside the truck then dropping back in all buttoned up

 

100%

I’d NEVER contemplate swapping a V8 over the 2TR the 2TR is an extremely reliable motor. Mines got 285k runs great and only thing I’ve had to do is change the spark plugs

 

Do their headers fit 2012-2015? Site says 2005-2011. I wouldn't think there would be much difference in clearance from one 2.0Gen to 2.5Gen.

 

Thank you I've been trying to figure this out I'm going to rebuild my 2.7 this summer with my dad and it's been kind of hard to find anything but stock china garage
