in trems of quicker or price?

the mazda just needs intake and exhaust opened up and you have a very well handling, very fast, legal car, ready to go.

(albeit ugly as a hat full of assholes)

the gtst needs another few g's on handling and a few more on power. Until then it's just a bag of dicks that will get defected anyway

If I was a crazy bastard, I'd get hold of a Eunos 30X and put the BPD-T from a GTR into it. 154kw in an 1100kg car and that's before you get to tuning it. Apparently a fairly easy and common swap around the world.

In every way yes, but I'm a bit tall for an MX5 and they've been turbocharged heaps before. I'm sure you could get one of those Eunos for 1500-2000. Be a 5k weekend and beer project.

Wait wut?

You live with your gf now? That was quick!

Where does she live? And when do we get to see her?

Technically living with? I guess... I'm there like 6 nights a week and go straight home there from work...

Royal Parade, Parkville, right opposite Princes Park... and literally walking distance to Garage Cafe ;)

When do you get to meet her... hmmmm, never? She's not into cars much at all, I might see if she wants to pop down to GC for dinner. She has lunch there sometimes since she works at Melbourne Uni, in the building that is directly opposite GC.

    • So I'll put filler past the repair area a bit to make sure I don't miss anything. Then I'll block it until it's almost level, put the guidecoat, then keep blocking until it's gone. Then it's still wavy.  In regards to hitting the panel, I saw this video might give more context - Skip to 0:47 he knocks it down. But yeah I'm sanding until the guidecoat is gone then checking because otherwise my filler is still well above the bodyline. Unless what you're saying is I should put guidecoat around it early, surrounding the filler then stip once it's gone?
    • I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.
    • Stop looking at the garage floor, and turn the radio up a bit louder if there's any strange noises...
    • No. Turbo shuffle and surge/flutter are not the same thing. Specifically, on a GTR, turbo shuffle has a definite meaning. On a GTR, the twin turbos are assumed to be the same thing and to operate the same way, exactly. In reality, they do not. Their exhaust sides are fed and exhaust a little differently, to each other. Their inlet sides are fed and exhausted a little differently, to each other. Consequently, when they are "working" they are often at slightly different points on the compressor map compared to each other. What this means, particularly when coming on boost, is that one of them will spool up and start producing extra flow compared to the other, which will put back pressure on that other compressor, which will push the operating point on that other compressor up (vertically). This will generally result in it bumping up against the surge line on the map, but even if it doesn't, it upsets the compressor and you get this surging shuffle back and forth between them That is "turbo shuffle" on a GTR. It is related to other flutter effects heard on other turbo systems, but it is a particular feature of the somewhat crappy outlet piping arrangement on RB26s. There are plenty of mods that have been attempted with varying levels of success. People have ground out and/or welded more material into the twin turbo pipe to try to prevent it. Extending the divider inside it works, removing material doesn't. There are aftermarket replacement twin turbo pipes available, and these exist pretty mush purely because of this shuffle problem.
    • You can temporarily* use lock collars to keep it in place until you can do the bushes, back the nuts off, slide them in, snug back up. *temporarily is often for ever
