    sooo, what you're saying is that when the engine turns off the oil keeps circulating? i think not.
    or the other possibility you're suggesting is that the grade of oil is significantly different to what we currently have.
    what you'll probably find is that the turbines are most likely to be made out of titanium, its lighter & stronger, and the rate it expands and contracts is different to the earlier turbo's

    No what im saying is it keeps the engine running to keep the oil circulating...

    A turbo on an engine at idle is a lot cooler than one at full load...


    Watercooling is a single great advantage compared to the early early turbos.

    FD2 N/A what?
    I would recommend a stock R33 with low KM's if you're looking for affordability

    all this has nothing to do with the original question........hence my earlier statement, newer cars are water cooled turbz so its still circulating where as what you mention above.... is old technology
    hence y nobody uses turbo timers on new cars like xr6t, new wrx etc...........
    mate had 10 sec xr6t no turbo timer..... had no probs.

    Sif you get pq just by suggesting a car and asking for it

    MR2 GT/GT-S is reliable if kept dead stock, but once you start modding that 3S-GTE, you could get into a lot of problems. The tendency to break something is quite scary with that particular 3S-GTE gen.

    The other problem with mr2's is getting someone to work on them. Most your regular mechanics will just about determine the quote based on a fwd equivalent, then double it due to the engine location.
    Not really that bad, but they definately charge you more based on engine location and difficulty alone.

    The other problem with mr2's is they are getting a little old now, and finding something like a turbo 95 model is near on impossible and will still cost nearly as much as something like an s15.

    The GT-S 98/99 if you can import them would be great but yeah, like you said, finding a workshop willing to work with the midship layout is =|
