This guy says he has a Mx5 1.6L running 2 T4s, and his running 10.9 sec quarter mile can someone please confirm with me that his talking a load of f*kN shit, his got nothing to show but a picture of one small looking turbo and one Hks air pod attched to it. He doesnt even have 2 air pods. he recons the other turbo is mounted underneith the other turbo "who the f**k mounts a turbo directley underneith the other one lol but then also where the f**k is the other air pod, and he doesnt even bring up that he has any other mods other then a intercooler the engine looks pretty standard other then the turbo. Ive stopped talking to him and asked him to bring the car to me untill then i dont belive him, since then he made excuses and said yeh he will bring it , but then stopped talking about it since. LOL , how fast is the fastest Mx5 anyway let alone a 1.6l version. Ive already talked to mates at a few tuning garages and they also confirmed his talking ALOT of shit, his one of those guys that talks it up and thinks people would belive him.

The only logical way to make a mx5 go fast is to put a 12a in it .. Mazda rotary mounts and direct drop. Honestly why would anyone bother turboing a n/a or twin turboing a single turbo?

Simple ask him what speed he ran if its under 116 which is like a 12.5 then hes full of shit

well you could have two very small t4'z (its only a flange) but even still its unlikely to do much on a 1.6. as said, get pics up

is it still a 1.6 or motor swap maybe? there are a couple of rotors running around....

learnt to drive in a 1.8 mx5.

sweet little car to drive. to date is still the best handling car i have driven stock. its pretty zippy too. but not powerful.

as for the twin turbo setup. seems like a f**kwit. have a look in the interior. look for some form of engine management..

erm google the bullet mx5 conversion

thats a serious car!

weapon of a car, but hardly an MX5, its a full custom chassis with a fibreglass shell that looks like an MX5. have you seen the first prototype they did? the 13B one? that looks like a bit of fun too

    • Hi. This is just my curiosity because iam sure the tuner figure something out...but either way i want to ask. The "problem" is that the Nistune ECU (Stagea FW and RB25DET NEO from Stagea) sees many times the speed than the speedo does(he says the speedo show 120 km/h - correct speed and the ECU shows like 510km/h ) I told him that this car/tranny getting speed from rear diff. If iam not mistaken the RB25DET NEO "need" to see tranny speed sensor? (my tranny has the plug for it). So couple of "question" If he connects/wire the speed sensor to the tranny...are the signals gonna intervene and if...what if he disconnects the rear diff one and the speedo stops working? Or the "new" sensor from the tranny "take over" and will not going need the one from diff? As i said i know he figure/get that done...iam just curious to know what are the solutions 🙂 
    • Your IACV is set to idle too low. You need to adjust it via the screw Duncan mentioned. From memory it should be 650rpm with the valve electrics unplugged. What is it trying to idle at with the IACV plugged in?
    • Ahhh, I need the whole head unit. I definitely needed to roll back through and review your setup, ha ha! Neat setup they have going on. I just need a full double din head unit. But I want good and responsive. I might have to review what the likes of pioneer have out these days.
    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
