Hey all i currently have had a rebuild now on my r32 gtr an atm i am running a full tomie catalogue really, an i have a t78-33d single on it atm. Was curious im thinking off going the next step an gettin a t51r kai but was curious to know the differences between the t51r kai an the t51r bb spl?? if thats correct! An its still a 2.6lt so it hasn't been stroked!

Atm my t78 full boost around 5000rpm was also interested if any1 knew about the t51 wen it makes full booost buy on a rb26? 272 tomie cams in/ex aswell 10.8mm lift if that helps anything!

Cheers Cliffo

surely if you were building an engine that needed a big$ turbo like that you would be buying it from someone that could properly match a turbo to your needs ? . or at the least know what horse power and look at the hp ratings on the hks website ?

      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

      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).
