Finally received my Top Secret full intake kit (thanks to Henry at RMSMotorparts who sources all my JDM stuff)

Got my Zele skirts too but there's plenty of pics of those floating around

.... the Top Secret intake and turbo inlet pipes not so much

Intake pipes are 65mm going into 60mm turbo inlet pipes

I've downloaded a few diy's for the inlet pipes and it looks like a knuckle buster, not looking forward to it

agreed, always been a fan of Smokey's cars

my build will be solely Top Secret engine side - intake, ti intercooler piping, high flowed oem turbos......

Nice!

Looking forward to see the results.

Big respect to Smokey Nagata along with other big garage names ie: Mine's / MCR / HKS, just to name a few.

yeh the filters are from HKS but the cf makeshift airbox is TS's own work

most of the aftermarket inlet pipes end up looking all pretty much the same

Yes it was more my point that Top Secret have be re-branding HKS parts for years (same as Mines).

It's a great upgrade and one of the biggest restrictions on the earlier GTR so hope you have a nice tune to match for maximum gain.

You name by any chance isn't James is it? Can't wait to see the titanium I/C pipework.

Cheers

no not James

i dont mind if they are re-branded, the TS were a good 250 bucks cheaper than the HKS kit with their drop-in filters (which im running atm)

makes sense now then why they're using the hks filters

Martin has provided me an e-map for the intakes + midpipe, but i have a full 90mm ti exhaust setup in the air atm, so ill have to do some datalogging and get a new map done

i have to learn how to use the datalogger on the cobb

installed intakes today, fit of the airbox and piping was spot on

have gained some welcome turbo spool and some bov sound letting off at high boost - will be alot of fun on cold nights up in the hills, well worth the price imo, and the cf shroud around the pod filters should provide some level of heat soak resistance stuck in traffic

seriously considering some gfb hybrid bovs now to get some more bov sound at high boost

      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

      Uncle Duncan Yeap, FI Interchiller  Works well, normal IAT's cruising with the WTA only went from 50°c+ to 25-30°c with the interchiller  Before, when on it hard, the IAT would see 80-90°c, now, the highest has been was around 38°c IIRC IAT is measured under the blower hat I recommend it for the street or strip where your only on it hard for 10 or so seconds, but it wouldn't be efficient for sustained track use as it would heat soak from the AC turning off or whatever it does during WOT to protect the compressor It really needs the AC running for it to not heat soak and keep the WTA coolant chilled My WTA coolant temps when just cruising is around 2°c

      Hey Mark...sorry to interrupt your career change to hair dressing... but...did you ever fit the interchiller to the commodore, and if so how was it? And, who made it?
