so problem will be solved by getting proper sized rods

Well it's either you use standard length like the HKS 2.8 kit does or 119.5 mm (2 mm shorter) like the Tomei does. It's all about where your pin sits.

Either way, when stroking your rod to stroke ratio is going to fall, but really, 26's ain't the best from factory. It means a little bit more wear and harder on the pin, however, there are advantages also.

I noticed that you ran a pod filter in the engine bay in the early days with the car, and have since revised it so the filter is in front of the left front wheel.

Do you have any pictures that more closely show you relocated turbo air intake?

Did you have any concerns with water on the filter in the low location from wet weather driving, or do you have a rain shield around it?

Hey Guys,

I am trying to get in contact with Anthony, the owner of GTRB28 but he hasnt been on AUS for about a year. Anyone know how I can get in contact with him?

yeah its in kemps project 34 now, running low boost (30psi low) until he changes gearbox etc. he was going to build an elephant package so just bought it as the owner was selling for bigger better things.

no doubt powertune could build another if youre serious.

kemp doesnt work at powertune either., unless recently employed lol.

Hi AH_HUH, I went hunting through the thread and can't find a dyno plot for the RB28/PT7175 combo - what was the most power it made, and how was lag with it... if you don't mind sharing?

Do you reckon it needed much more than 5000rpm for full boost? Cheers :)

    • It's something we all have to consider as time marches on. Also consider lifted rally MX5 conversion at that point.
    • I should be fine for a few more years, whilst I do have arthritis I also exercise and do mobility training every day to keep as fit and healthy as I can, military life, which is the actual cause of most of my joint issues, has set daily regimes, which I weirdly enjoy I also train alot smarter now, not really focusing on lots strength or puffy muscles, I'm more focused on maintaining what I have for my future older self, I actually train as much mobility now as I do exercising Check out this "simple" drill I have been doing daily prior to training now for a while now, this has worked wonders in my all round mobility   
    • I'd say one thing that may make you sell is the same reason the guy with the hard top roof sold his. He got old, and his back was giving him too much grief stopping him getting in and out... Old guy said he was 73! He looked and sounded younger than 73 to me! Or maybe I'm just aligning with old people more...
    • Already looked at a few prior to getting the MX5, really nice car, had all the mod cons, but I wasn't really sold on the new "look" I did miss my 2017 Limited, and I personally prefer the "look" of the older car over the new model, but, when pondering I kept going back looking at MX5's But it was same same for the new ND's, I wasn't sold on the new "look", especially the RF with its weird roof, which only half goes down, like a targa top sort of thing As I stated before, I did look at NC's, but the cars I looked at were PRHT's, but I didn't like their roof line "look" of the PRHT, until I saw the soft top version, (someone on SAU posted a for sale ad for one with a soft top that caught my attention, you can blame them for my choice.....🤣) and.... that old style detachable hard tops were available for them, which keeps the old MX5 more smoother flowing roof line, and the more rounded body style, similar to the NA-NB, to me, the arse end of the ND looks to "modern" Much like how I prefer the NC1 front bar, over the later models How long will I keep this car for is unknown, but currently, there's nothing else out there that "floats my boat" for a small, fun, little "sports car", that I can play with and enjoy looking at and driving But, who knows what the future holds, and going off current new car styling, if I replace it, it will be a older model something something       
    • looking forward to your t56 swap man its a game changer if it works!
