Have you got a pod filter installed? that will make your spool louder aswell as the low revs fluttering but, if you want the flutter louder again get a metal intake pipe and if you want Vl style tsuuuu tsuuuuuu tsuuuuuuu fully hectic brah flutters you need to block off your bov altogether.

You can pick up a lot of good basic mods cheap second hand btw. Other than that simple things like intercoolers, boost T's, pod's and exhausts can be had on ebay cheap new. People will tell you that "oh noes is not japanese it will break " Which is a crock of shit Ive used plenty of cheap basic parts and none of it has failed me yet nor had any side effects. Theres cheap parts you can buy new and then theres stuff you dont buy at all.

If you were I (CWHUTIDIDTHAR) my first line of mods would be:

  • pod/panel filter (Imo I prefer pod filters in a cold air box compared to panel filters in the stock airbox ) *You can make yourself a cold air box out of aluminium sheet pretty easy or steel if your on a budget.
  • exhaust
  • FMIC Intercooler 600x300x75 with 2.5 inch piping max for a standard rb25
  • Electronic boost controller or boost T + gauge (to wind the boost up a little)

That should get you started on the power train and not cost much if you dont go electronic boost controller

Go and do a skid now :P

      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?
