More individual tests and a couple professional tests will and would be good, as it broadens the range of tests done i say, but will clearly watch this page closely

maybe they should like alot BIN Numbers to them like penfolds red wines :D how many bins it took to get the perfect one. But aggreed, its trial and error to which batch you get/got

ok as you know i recived my plenum a while ago got around to doin some work to it i have pics of before and after i will post up soon

well the casting was pretty average on the inlet ports they were a fair bit smaller in some cases which i can live with cause i had all intesion of match porting it anyways

i die grinded eveything came up a treat also clease up the water holes

i also cleaned up the inlet the inside was all pretty good wat you would expect form any plenum pretty much the same as my standard one

i then preped the top half of the plenum and grinded away the part where the greddy is normaly stamped

i then have sprayed it with this spray on bog stuff which give it a nice smooth fininsh only problem was i only done the top half not the bottom so that started to flake off cause of the crap dodgy silver paint that its painted in so im suggesting that you should get it diped n cleaned before any painting is done

i dont see how it will brake as it is structual solid no weakness

i can see improvment in air flow by a big diffrence but tune will only tell

all this was done in the matter of say 12 hrs (and i dont work fast lol)

pics will be up as soon as i can get them up

Thanks from the update, keep us posted :)

Just a suggestion.

I would not use any bog type spray on the plenum, as the aluminium expands and contracts as it heats and cools, which may result in cracks appearing in the bog, or the bog flaking off.

My mate had his genuine GReddy plenum powder coated, b4 install, and within a month crack were seen. The powder coater i/we use does awesome work and no cracks/faults on any other engine parts. My standard plenum is also p/c'ed and cracks can also be seen.

yer have progressed alot in fact is it finished but my camera died i have painted it gloss black to keep it well sort of stelth iov moved away from the polished look ill try n get pics up asap

i will put up my dyno result as soon as i can to might get it flow tested will its off

i spose you can i dont know much about the 32's im guessing the ports would be smaller but being a stock standard car i would not bother my standard manifold supported up to 280rwkw try and find one already done for a rb20

HAHA i hope these are the ones hydro'ing engines as the water port was taped into the intake runner..... if nto all good, i prefer the finish of the genuine ones but hey who am i to judge if it works. :P

    • What could be causing my clutch problem besides a bad master or slave then? Both those parts are new 
    • Just came across this, but in QLD I start leave again in 2 weeks, if it is still available I might drive up and check it out Unless, @MBS206 do you live near here????, if so I could hit you up with a finders fee https://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/hope-island/auto-body-parts/nc-mx5-factory-hard-top/1328976391
    • My hold point for future mods is that I want a OEM detachable hard top first, but, finding one is a pain, MX5 Mania are looking for one for me, but, as hens teeth are more common, finding one in Australia is proving problematic  I can get a OEM one from overseas, hell, you can still get new ones in 'Merica, but, shipping is a absolute killer and I cannot justify the cost, or the risk of it being damaged during transport As for the aftermarket hardtops, whilst they do the job of being a hard top, and are fine for a track car, they don't seal well (read: leak like a sieve in the rain), and you need a plastic/poly rear window, plus they are a bolt in option only and not made to be easily removed I liked how the hard top on my NB could be fitted, and removed, by myself, in less than 5 minutes I know it sounds bad, but I'm waiting for someone to write off a car with one so I can swoop in on their pain, it will go to a good home though, so my guilt of this is tempered
    • I’ve got one on mine and it’s fine, 
    • No, you don't want to plug the vacuum line, as that will turn that side of the booster into an air spring and probably make it feel worse. I'm not saying that the GTR master itself doesn't need a booster. I haven't paid attention to the GTR one to know what size it is cf the non-GTR ones. But when you think about it - they have to do the same job, which is to move a little slave piston a few mm to do what it is supposed to do, and that final action is the same on all the cars. So, it is very unlikely that the GTR MC is any different than the others, because it has the same pedal stroke and the same output requirement. The booster just makes it feel easier. I'd suggest you probably have an actual hydraulic problem. It's totally common on these old shitboxes.
