yeh i understand about the dyno numbers and all, the car does drive well apart from fuel economy but thats to be expected and current set up was good for a 10 second pass but yeh more power would be nice.

i was looking around on rhd japan and they dont seem to sell the 22cm rear housings on their own anymore.

yeh ive already sent them an email the other day asking them what they think about my set up and just waiting for a reply. probably get it next week when they should be back at work

Heat treatments first hit the 7s with a T51R SPL, got to have been making some power to do that - was definitely over 1khp

Are you sure they did that with a T51RSPL? For some reason I thought they were on a GT45 or even 47R Garrett which given the level of performance of the car may have even been a special version.

Spent a little while then searching around; Yes GK and SPL are similar, GK has higher HP rating for the same level of response. T62R was made to (apart from other things) nudge out the GK, and naturally is bigger. The thing is though, for this discussion the SPL really isnt needed IMO, here's why; Garage Saurus using an old 34D ran in the 8's, so that's got to be enough power for Chris to enjoy :) .....or is it haha

Everyone here's 8's, 34D, Watch from 1.12.

I did ask him which rear it had when at his shop but it was ages ago and I forget. NYTSKY might remember, he was busy buying a bellmouth at the same time

    • 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 
    • I like this page, better than that silly turbo kit   https://v8roadsters.com/product-category/engine-conversions/engine-conversion-lsx/engine-conversion-lsx-nc/  
    • That would be my Shoei helmet
    • 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).
