Awesome thanks for the additions! Where abouts is yours getting built? I'm getting excited now!

I was going to look at the Denso injectors, heard a lot of brands use them and rebadge them.

I've seen Greenline but I think they're pretty slow with shipping. I actually have Slide hooking me up with quite a few parts now :)

Nismo full gasket kit eh? I am going to go the Tomei one i think.

HP ratings, also the 044 isnt designed to be run in tank

BUT

There are so many people with 044 in tanks that have had zero issues, including 2 gtr's i know of which are thrashed properly, and mine. There will be a tiny bit of tinkering to get it in there and hooked up but its not hard, hell even i figured out how to do it and believe me im not a mechnic

Go the 044 :)

I've always found greenline to take atleast a week, and have always been spot on when they tell me when the items are dew in.. also never had a problem with nengun either haha..

I'm getting my motor built in Sydney by Pro form. who does alot of my friends work..

As for denso. i'm sure your correct there in saying alot of people rebadge them.. or with injectors really its just re packaging them.

the Nismo gasket kit is a full motor thing (all the oil seals, valve seals, all other engine gaskets there must be over 50 gaskets in the box, unlike the tomei etc which is just headgasket, intake gaskets, exhaust gaskets.

the only problem is you do not get all metal intake and exhaust gaskets. but you do get a metal head gasket. which i already have so not a problem to me.

i've always found its best to use genuine engine gaskets with rebuilds. had, seen and herd of many motors leaking out the main and other seals after motors installed.. and who wants to be pulling out a motor just after its been put back in... tho obviously head gasket is always choice

as for the fuel pump, your best going an intank setup.

Im confused.....

lol sorry, typed that in a rush

Get the 044, mount it in tank, any fittings needed can be sourced from motorsport connections in sydney. Ring them and tell them you're putting an 044 in an r32 and they should know exactly what to sell you

SCAT are made in the US....ive already debunked this myth that everything is made in China in another thread.

They all look identical to me, and on scats website, they say they make crank shafts in the us. but only say they finish, balance and pair up sets of rods in the us..

Thanks LTSJayce. But I'm sorted :)

LOL you are more than welcome to come for a ride. I have decided on all the parts it's just a matter of getting them here on time now!

Hi; me again. Maybe I missed your post, but who did you decide on? If you don't want to give away your secrets to the whole world, a PM will be fine!

I think it's in there somewhere :) No secrets. Won't be posting my final figure nor a full parts list so as to avoid unwanted attention but happy to chat to peoples about it elsewhere.

But work wise I've gone with Autotech and Pro Engines.

    • True, might get it looked at. Found out you can in fact flatten the 12v battery relatively easily too the other day (kids lefts the hazards on) so meaning to get that checked in the new year. What's odd is it'll blow cold from both vents if you have the ac down as low as poss (18), but anything else the passenger one blows warmish. Also has been summer since I got it obvs but noticed it didn't seem to want to blow hot last night when we had a cold snap. 
    • You ask for things. You specifically state you want responsiveness. A link was provided for a far superior, more responsive option. Find a MX5 workshop that will install it for you. Maybe MX5 Mania will throw on the Fab9 kit. It seems they want to charge almost 14K installed for their kit, so if they charge you $6K to install the FAB9 kit then you'll be ahead? Though really, the 2.5 with a 2860 running low boost will more or less feel as good as anything else. It's a lot of displacement and a small turbo. Think of a more modern RB26 with one stock turbo :p TBH, truth be told I've been driving my own car, and use about 50% throttle at most for 99.9% of the time. Mr Bogan is likely similar so this is all going to be semantics for the use case he actually has. (He'll be happy with anything relative to now) However, the EFR is hands down far superior in this use case. You really, really, really, really do notice it over the Garrett or equivalent.  
    • You are correct, the earlier the torque, the earlier things snap
    • Gents, it will be getting the MX5 Mania kit and the 2.5 will be staying where it is My query was about the 0.64 or the 0.86, whilst the 0.64 might spool a bit faster, would the 0.86 be better IRT EGT and mechanical sympathy, with only a small difference in spool And as I assume I won't need alot of boost to get to 200kw, probably around 10 psi, and with max rpm at 6500, would high EGT even really be a issue with a 0.64 I'm heading into MX5 Mania at the end of Jan to discuss the install, so any info is welcome prior to that Basically have a chat and book a time so they can throw on the turbo kit, and fit a oil cooler with a thermostat, drive in drive out of course  In other news: just finished cleaning the car inside and out, it's now all ready to get covered in bugs and dirt driving to Goulburn tomorrow to lunch,  and go for a stroll along woolondilly River with the daughter and her boy, and of course, visit my grandcats and my new grandpuppy 
    • Sounds like it has an actual problem with mode select doors, or something.
