well finally after a huge long rebuild time of 12 months its finally got a go on the dyno, and it went alot better than expected on the low boost setting so im lovin it :O even blowing flames on over run which looks maddd :(

boost is on a low 13psi and rpm limit is 9000rpm. no power figures are gonna be published on here due to the amount of people in the non stagea sections wanting to slag on others results so i think ill keep it quite.

ive got a couple of power runs

turbo and manifold glowing as it boosts up

thats all i can do at the moment as i gotta goto work, ill post the others of the flames, etc after work.

stay tuned :(

Brad :wave:

Brad, simply out of a matter of interest (yes, Im interested in your total buildup, LOL, and Im NOT a slanger, far from it - backslaps all round, hear hear) - would love to know what the 2.7 pulled on low boost. :wave:

Excellent work Brad. Congrats for sticking with it, I know its hard when they are off the road for so long, still waiting for mine! Should be back in a week though.

PM me the figure, would love to know!

Nice to see it all up and running!

Sounds very nice!

However (this is a good thing haha) i thought you were gonna go external gate or did you decide that it would be a little less offensive to plumb it back?

Either way can't wait to see Final Final (figures) result!

Keep up the good work!

    • Excuse me, but 2) does apply 1) Would also apply if you consider how much is spent in the alternatives. Also there's the option of 3), buy one pre-built that you can put your family in (it's me, it's my car)   That said, I went on a ~500km drive the other day. I didn't use anything more adventurous than 3rd/4th gear at about ~3000RPM and 50% throttle and I was going as fast as anyone has any sense doing on a public road, with enough grip to the point where I didn't want to go any faster. I was obviously under the limit of the current car etc etc. MX5 with 2.5 N/A to achieve the same speed would be more fun for any road scenario. Maybe consider cams. I wouldn't boost it. The use case is just not there and it won't actually make the car more enjoyable unless you really do plan on wringing gears from 1st to 3rd (at least) at 100% WOT on a public road to 150+kmh.
    • Great if: 1. You had all of the money for everything else that is required  2. Lived in a country where you could actually do this and drive it legally on the road Sadly, neither applies to me As for the turbo, I am having second thoughts, mainly for engineering/registration legality reasons and insurance  Not saying I've finished doing stupid things that I probably should do to the MX5, but boost, and V8 engine swaps isn't on the cards Strange, but true 
    • I like this page, better than that silly turbo kit   https://v8roadsters.com/product-category/engine-conversions/engine-conversion-lsx/engine-conversion-lsx-nc/

    • Yes shipping here can be a pain, was about to purchase timing belt replacement kit, but it tends to get expensive due to shipping (and customs if importing from non-EU which the UK now falls under).
