My build is in progress :) bought a worked and complete head with all the goodies, dan from erd is going to build my engine, happy all round :)

Nicely done! That motor should be wicked after receiving the Dan touch.

No I didn't buy it, rather spend the $2200 getting the engine finished first. And after seeing the 6266 result on the 26 engine punch out 500 rwkw or what ever it was I'm deciding between different turbos again

it will be interesting to see how long that 26 of simons lasts with the 6266. He is chucking a lot of boost at it thats for sure. Should make a build thread!!!

What Ideas do you have for the engine at this stage. Do you know what injectors, Manifold, Plenum etc you are looking towards?

I have a front facing plenum with 90mm throttle body

Engine will be forged with cp pistons and spool rods, arp main, rod, head studs. Keeping vct inlet cam as dan made a good point about it. Head is built with new upgraded parts.

Fuel system will be 2 044 pumps from surge tank with nismo intank, 2000 Id injectors. Dash 8 fuel lines. I want the surge tank mounted under the car though for simplicity running flex fuel setup

6 boost t4 split pulse manifold, 4 inch turbo back exhaust

Will be pushing what ever turbo I get to maximum capacity with what the fuel can handle.

I will start a build thread soon.

How's your car going to Scott? ANy dramas?

    • I definitely agree with you there - I never click on content for cars I would never ever be able to get or compete with/against/be seen next to. Seeing a MX5 compete with a FD RX7 will make people upset though, for sure. Even in 2.5L Turbo form which is pretty grass roots. (or at least as grass roots as classic cars can be) Yes we're all classic car owners now.
    • Wonder what the cause is, but here's hoping it's nothing too serious.
    • People don't always want builds that are overly expensive, or have engineering/registration/insurance issues and head aches that come with them Whilst big dollar builds, and complicated stuff is interesting to watch, there is only a tiny % of people who would actually use this information, or have the spare finances to drop on said builds, whereas the buy a cheap(ish) cool car, and make it better, with a average budget, that the average Joe or Jane could achieve will always be a winner in my opinion 
    • Bit of a thread revival, you mentioned wanting a bit more top end before, do you regret not going with the 1.01?
    • It's kind of interesting - They definitely do builds that split the difference between what they like and what will generate views and engagement. The NC Platform always surprises everyone in a good way, in an uncomfortably good way some may say. They could throw a LS in there and arguably have the best (and best performing) car of the entire stable. But that isn't necessarily what draws views, because people viewing don't want to accept the vegetables of a LS NC MX5 being a superior vehicle in every way (including fun) than a RB26 240Z. This is also why there's not a lot of content about the GR Yaris (on the web in general). They're too good, yet 'only a Yaris' The community doesn't want certain cars to be as good as they are - to beat their hero cars, and I believe the NC MX5 is absolutely one of those cars.
