The mx5 just needs a turbo.....

I've got one coming next week for a cage, apparently it's a turbocharged factory engine, goes well or so the owner bangs on about it going well.

Having driven one with a R34 GT-R turbo on it, I wholeheartedly agree. :thumbsup:

In stock for MX5's are mint little pieces of kit (Ignore the hairdresser comments, it's a rear wheeler)

With a turbo they are bags of fun and quite fast too.

My housemate is putting a overbored built 1.9 with a 2871R on it into an NA, fully stripped out, full cage, carbon hard top the works.

thing will be an animal.

yeah I did a motor in practice, and it's going to be sitting around for a while because my racing budget needs to go onto the house

the prod cars are getting damn quick....one of the guys was in the low 1.05s

Once you have raced one there does become a bit of a love hate relationship.

Mine was temperamental but when it was on the car was phenomenal. In the end once we got the thing sorted it was a winning car in the category's we ran it in.

There is something about them which draws you back ;)

the only thing I'd trade the GTR for is a GTR

and don't anybody try changing this lunatics views. I tried every option I could think of,,,including alcohol but to no avail.

When his bitch is running great she's a bloody missile,,,a 1.08 in IMPR traffic is quick,,,shit I've even done a 1.16 trundling around. What shits me the most is we always seem to be playing catch up. Never do we get a chance to actually improve the thing.

Neil.

    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
    • Yes then it will turn on but I want the car features to work  
    • My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.
    • Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?
    • What about if you just give it direct 12v and earth?
