Even better (I didn't realize he had the car on a dyno dynamics with the -7 set up)...

164rwkw @ 4500rpm

205rwkw @ 4500rpm

From other graphs on dyno dynamics his set up does look down by 40odd rwkw at 4500rpm but that still does not cover the 100hp it has improved with the 35R

Here's a decent -7 result, more boost could've been used but stayed conservative (98 BP PULP);

This is a silly comparison anyway, a 35R is designed to make more power than 7's ever will so of course its going to seem lazy and have a bigger top end. Anyone who doesn't understand that should give up modifying cars right now.

But the previous dyno graph shows the 35R has more response and more top end over the -7s??

Do you have the 35R one in RPM vs boost?

i know it may sound like a "how long is a piece of string" question but how much boost would you run on a healthy standard internal rb26 with -7's? im currently at 19psi @ 296rwkw, thought 20ish psi is the safe limit? and you cant run much more then 21-22psi? on pump fuel ofcoarse...

You mean the one where we know the setup wasn't running properly?

Your "decent" -7 set up is making 25rwkw more at 4500rpm that the one that "wasn't running properly". Funnily enough the GT35R makes 74rwkw more at the same rpm...

Yeah great - so that's agreed

Maybe i've missed something here (and it's looking that way), but explain please how you got 74rwkw difference between the two at the same rpm - I simply cant see where the numbers come from for this 35R.

At 4500 the -7's are making around 210hp (157kw) and the GT35R is making around 320hp (239kw), so it's actually more like 82kw.

No idea about boost vs RPM, it's snozzle's graph so maybe ask him :)

Ah ok now I see where.

Lets compare that 35R result vs the one I put up then, the 35R is close enough to 239kw and the 7's are close enough to 230kw.

So for a bolt on set of turbos, vs new oil and/or water lines, dump pipe, exhaust manifold, intake piping, turbo to FMIC piping etc, with a goal of 300 odd rwkw (remembering which thread this is), the 7's win on cost while they come in an ever so slight second place to power in midrange.

A 35R will go so much further power wise than the goal of this thread, so IMO for 300 odd rwkw throw a set of 7's on at 23/24psi and with the other basic supporting mods the owner is there.

EDIT: Checking my last graph, i'm at a touch over 260rwkw at 4500rpm with the EBC turned off. Hooray for low end :)

I would be going a 3076R for 300rwkw and you would only need 19psi :) They are so much better than a GT35R!

Plus I think you will find the cost comparison would be fairly similar, how much do you think it would cost from filter to cat to get the twins going?

Checking my last graph I'm at around 270rwkw at 4500rpm with 500cc less that you :P

are the -9s really that much better then the -7s?

If you only want 300kw, then the extra $400 for the -9s is a waste of money. If you want to go past 320kw, then they're the right choice.

are the -9s really that much better then the -7s?

I've had both, I prefer -9s over -7s. Some say it may make no difference but if I were to buying another turbos I'd go for -9s.

ive checked the specs on -9s and -7s and they're identical apart from the comp wheel & trim.

so for example if at 19psi, the -7s will make 290kw, what will the -9s make on the same boost?

is the -9s the same response as the -7 or slightly laggier?

I managed to justify (to myself anyway...) my purchase of the lift table. It made taking the rear subframe out a lot easier than it would have been without anyway! Everything is out and stripped down ready for a clean then powdercoating.  She's pretty grubby under there but pretty good condition for a 38 year old Japanese tin bucket. 12 years of zero street time have obviously helped that...

    • Turbo gods, some assistance and recommendations please I'm looking into a turbo kit for my 2.5 from MX5 Mania >>>>> https://mx5mania.com.au/products/copy-of-mx-5-nc-2-5-litre-engine-conversion-turbo-2005-2013 Power wise I would like about 200kw atw, and of course dose noises, apparently if you keep a stock 2.5 under around 200kwatw the engine and drivetrain will not hate life even when ragging on it a bit Max RPM on the 2.5 is around 6500rpm The turbo MX5 use is something around the disco potato size as  packaging room for the turbo is pretty limited, which will, I believe, give me my power goals I want and not have the turbo either under, or oversized, but the rear housing bit is confusing  It comes with either a 0.64 or 0.86 From my understanding, which so far is based off googling, so make of that what you will 0.64: spools faster = good Makes more EGT heat on boost = bad Less topend power than 0.86 = I'm only looking for 200 atw so that point may be mute????, I don't know, hence my questions  0.86: Spools a "little" slower = how much slower??? remembering 6500 is my max rpm Makes less EGT heat = good Makes a little more power up top = again, power goals is only around 200 Also, this is a street car, so there will not really be any long track sessions, in saying this I would want it so it was happy with at least 3 hot laps at Wakefield Park if the need arises  I already have a fancy pants triple pass radiator, and a oil cooler with thermostat will be getting installed as well Thanks for any information or recommendations you have 👍, and of course, the comments about me wasting money on drive in drive out modifications, or any other snide remarks about my manhood for owning a MX5 🤣    
    • Tape some wool onto the vent then take it for a drive I did this to my reverse cowl and was instantly unhappy, as anything over about 60kph would have the wool enter the engine bay, thus just adding underbonnet pressure and stooging my coolant stack, it did let alot of heat out when stationary though, which really didn't help once the car was moving, with the reverse cowl you could watch the coolant temps cheap up the faster you went on the hwy, I assume it would be alot worse doing track day speed With the vented bonnet (just after the radiator and about 1/3 up the bonnet) on my old R33 the wool on the leading edge sat at about a 45° angle as air poured out of it From looking where your vents are, and their size, I believe you should be fine at speed and air should be evacuated from the engine bay, I think it will be a night and day difference when stuck in traffic though for removing the trapped heat, and not sitting there cooking when parked up after driving around... #convection  Post wool tuft pics and data for science  This beastie is one nice and unique rig, enjoy
