I saw a nice vid of this on minimags youtube channel, looks amazing!

Ive got an Mx5 for my run around (insert hair dresser joke here) at the moment, the seats are brilliant and they also have extra foam pads inside which you can easily remove to give them a more Bucket seat feel.

Ok. spent all day on the rollers. Achieved 126bhp at 5000rpm on 6psi 0.4bar boost. 137ftlb at 4250rpm. Peak power is 5000rpm then torque and power fall away massively.

Here are both graphs before & after the turbo install.

which dyno matt?

Medusa + injection = too much torque for the dyno ..https://youtu.be/qg5o0_tJxYM

Pete Burgess's. I have taken the wheels figures and converted to flywheel using coastdown graph. not the most accurate method I know,especially considering 2 different rolling roads. I did however set the graph to read the lower din standard output to match ggmotorsports figures.

Good figures there matt, I went peter burgess a few years back seemed quite good rollers

13.95 1/4 mile on a 2.95 fd. Carnt be that hard to beat!

That's bloody good on 6psi!

I'm guessing your running a reasonable CR and not gone stupidly low?

1/4mile in 13.2sec @ 111 terminal on 15psi

Great power for the boost.

Why does the power drop off so quickly? Cam?

In the 13's at last!.. Just

CR is 9.8-1. So was always designed to run low boost. Yes lack of power above 5k is probably due to the SW5 cam advanced at 103degrees for bottom end and high Turbo back pressure from small T2. Charge temps also raised slightly due to lack of airflow.

With clutch slip at anything above 7psi, I've took the plunge to build a RTS clutch. I'm using 2 AP springs 2.2mm & 2.3mm. Ive had some En24T spacers made and bought a selection of 10.9 High tensile bolts and Knuts.

After stripping a thread at 20ft/lb using the normal method I decided to mount countersunk M8 bolts from behind with proper nuts.

I Just need to pop over to MED to pick up one of their lightened flywheels and get the whole thing balanced with a Bonded 180mm AP plate.

oh pooo

I run a supercharger and I don't care the TB is on the wrong side.
VEMS + 12 PSI + Liquid Intercooler = Small Bore FUN!

Engine is performing well then!

You're not having much luck with this are you!

If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of.

I've done about 1500miles so far. Other than the breather issue, which is now sorted its performed really well.

However. I've now got a good reason to up the boost, swap to a 274 Cam, SCCR box, SC Drops and GT1752.

I bed that's the transfer gear. Never a nice thing to find

I'd stick with helical drops personally.

If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of.

buga, as you say it will be back stronger/better than before
what power wast this at?
