Thanks for letting me know, looking into it.

Its definitely surprising and totally unassuming. Wow, so R34 Neo injectors would fit? Thats amazing, there'll be more Nissan parts than VW in there. Why not play with N/A? Because besides flash and exhaust I'd need to go cams and manifold I'd expect. Then, if I wanted more I'd need to re-do the exhaust and manifold anyway. I have been looking for a MK4 R32 exhaust as a cheap upgrade. They dont pop up often as only 400 of those cars made it to Australia.

Thanks Terry, I *hate* labels/groups/titles etc ... You either have symptoms or you dont. I understand the need to use them but I hate giving anything I'm struggling with some kind of label. That goes for physical ailments as well as mental / emotional.

I hear what you are saying but I'm not looking for massive power. The car already gets along quite well, but it's definitely out of puff when getting over 5000 rpm. I'm not one for taking on projects half-arsed, so if I can't afford to do it properly, I wont do it at all. Would injectors and ignition really be required if only looking for average gains? The RB25 turbo comes to mind only because it is ceramic and if I'm only going to be running the equivalent of a standard Gtst boost it would handle it ok I'd assume? I'm not disagreeing with you, as I said, I'm no expert in this area, just making sure I understand correctly. Regarding brakes/suspension this has been the area of focus so far with slotted rotors and good pads, bilsteins, bushes refresh. Rear sway bar and links are next. Reflash is easy, 7 million different options for my car already and many 'stage 2' or 3 type flashes for turbos. I'm not sure what is available in terms of injectors for my car, would be interesting to find out. Thanks guys.

The majority of the folk in the US just turbo them, but there is many more options available in the states.

A quick background on my Bora; I bought it a few years ago because I needed a cheap daily and I wanted something a little different. I was able to pick up the mack daddy V6 4Motion sport (yes, Sport!) and it is a really surprising little car. I love my Bora! I drive two hundred kay's per week to and from work and take my daughters to school pre-school most mornings. The value of the car has dropped off so badly that it is now simply not worth selling. I have spent a bit doing things like brakes, bilsteins and other bits n pieces to make it a better daily, but nothing serious. Until now (except not now, in the future.) I have to be up front, I don't know much about turbos or induction. I know the basics but thats about it, hence why I'm asking questions. The Bora is 150kw in its stock form and my car now has over 220k's (believe it or not, it feels so tight still, not a single thing feels aged.) I am thinking about either a turbo kit or (ready ... wait for it ... ) a supercharger kit. Leaning towards a blown VR6 because, frankly, I've never had a blown car. But, the blower option seems to be much more expensive. Money is not in abundance in my household. A 6 psi supercharger kit is super expensive at around $5k because a new ecu (or flash) is needed. A turbo kit is much cheaper at around $1800 delivered (check this eBay one) and would probably give me a bit more power without needing to touch my ecu. The thing is, I'm wondering if I could modify my manifold and use a s2 R33 Gtst turbo (ceramic) and maybe even an R33 side mount cooler? If I dont need to touch my ecu and considering how tight my funds are (seriously tight) is that a possibility? Maybe I'm missing something though? What do we need to do with the oil lines? Considering I have some seriously nice B8 Bilsteins in the car and all new front bushes, I want to give it some more poke so I can hit some track days again and still drive 30k's each way to work. Ending my rant here.... Drank almost a full bottle of red writing this.

Not surprising ... I think its in your eyes.

Something wrong with you ... Yeah it wouldn't surprise me.

Some real shots

I love this! MX5's have always been super cool, the current model looks fantastic, but this is the first 'all new' MX5 in 25 years! And it looks SOO good! Apparently it'll have the option of a 2L 165HP engine which doesn't sound too flash but curb weight is likely to be under 1050kg for the rag top.

I'm not sure how easy it will be to retro fit the technology.

This is nuts!! Drive a lap, record it on your USB drive, put that drive in your PS3 and watch your lap.
