Mostly a daily driver with occasional light track work.

Current mods are FMIC, Pods, Cat back zorst and rear strut brace.

Am I looking at around 180 kw @ all 4 paws?

Boost doesn't kick in till around 3,500 or so. Would like to reduce that

a set of twin dumps seemed to work well on the GTST same here?

I'm chasing moslty good low rev performance - daily driver with good

response minimal lag, as that is where it'll be 85% of the time. Keeping

stock turbs for now.

Am thinking PFC + PFC Boost Control + Dyno tune for the next stage?

14 psi average safe limit for stock turbs as in GTST give or take?

Only ran the GTST @ 10 psi to give me pleny of leeway prob do the same with

the R. I'm chasing a nice linear power curve not one of those nothing then all type crazy curves.

gtr will always be slower to boost than a stock turbo gtst , dumps will help a little as will front pipe .

stock turbos are better for low rpm response , i thought you would have full boost at about 3500 maybe 3800 with stock turbos , mine did when i had stockies .

power fc will do the trick as well , with a good tune , as far a boost goes carefull cause the ceramic turbos do fly appart and when they do they make a mess in the engine .

if you want to keep the stockers 14 psi would have to be max .

i have n1 turbos in mine and it pulls hard from 4000 ( 1 bar) and full boost at 4500 1.2 bar .

i dont have dumps but i do have front pipes and 3" catback with hiflow cat power fc , ebc , stock cooler and stock airbox .

it ran 11.7 1/4 @120 mph at wsid and heaps of wheelspin .

    • I usually source pressure on inlet manifold after throttle body
    • Where is the best location for boost pressure source when running mac 3port boost solenoid?  my new turbo does not have a fitting for that on the compressor housing.  how come Garrett make a turbo without that?  im confused 
    • From my memory, which isn't that great, we did have issues getting the large throttle body on my old LS1 to play nicely at idle, first it would stall, then it would only idle at 2k rpm, then it would hang at 2k rpm for a few seconds and then drop and stall, then, finally, the best we got was it would hang at 1.5k rpm for a few seconds then drop to around 800 rpm The tuner stated that large cable throttle bodies are a PITA, and if I wanted anything better than what we ended up with I would need a electronic throttle body and all of the aftermarket ECU stuff to run it
    • So, my intake arrived  I'm not happy with the coating finish so I went to Supercheap and got some black wrinkle paint and some prep stuff I was initially thinking about using grey wrinkle paint, but finding a quality product that gives the texture I want was "unfindable...", so the tried and tested black wrinkle paint is again finding its way into the engine bay for the OEM look I'll sneakily head into work and get the big ovens cranking to cure the paint over the next week or so I've also contacted MX5 Mania today to talk about the install and tune, so painting it is my "main effort" prior to sending the car off In other news, the correspondence from the US supplier is fair to midling to say the least, I'm still trying to track down the intake box thingie with the larger intake pipe to suit the throttle body, it still is "awaiting fulfilment" (no stock currently available), if it isn't here soon I'll just get MX5 Mania to fabricate up a CAI that is easy to service the air filter  
    • Thanks mate. I thought it would be that way.
