Volic e qui c'est dit au JAE
Over the course of the JAE weekend I had two meetings with representatives from TTE. Read the full news item to see what was said...
They were very interested in my turbo, asking many questions over my design choices, and chatting over the way we have both overcome difficulties with certain issues. They were also very keen to forge a relationship with MR2-ROC.
But enough preamble, here is the information that I can share with everyone...
Over the last nine months TTE have been developing a turbo for the MR2 Roadster. The development is now complete to the point that they are completely satisified with the results. It is designed as a retro-fit kit, to be sold by dealers on new or used cars - it is not a factory fit option. The design is targetted at 200bhp (flywheel) and to meet the 2004 emissions regulations. It incorporates an air/air intercooler using an air scoop (if I recall, scooping air from the underside of the right handside of the car and ducted to the intercooler in the left of the engine bay).
Four full prototype kits have been built and fitted, two are based in Köln, and two have been sent over to Toyota development in Japan. The current situation is that it is the prototypes in Germany are going through certification processes, while in Japan, they are re-testing every component in detail to ensure reliability. Toyota's policy is that it is a requirement to offer such a kit with a three-year, 100,000km warranty.
Toyota have not yet made a decision whether this kit, regardless of whether it meets the above certification and reliability tests, will be offered to the public. The TTE representatives hinted that a decision maybe made in November but certainly not to expect to see it this year. They stressed I should not generate any expectations over the availability of this kit.
Also mentioned was the V6 development that they had worked on. While this was giving good results, the cost would have been prohibative to the public, and the work was abandoned.
As well as the turbo development, TTE have been creating a new concept car based on the MR2 chassis. Aptly named (currently) the 'Street Affair II', it is a revision of the original. Other details given where extremely hazy, though I can mention the colour scheme has been coordinated with the Forumla One livery.
Further discussion is on-going, and we'll report back as and when I have more information to share.
