That was our 9th or 10th run. Called it a night. To hold 25 psi up top we need to give it 29 ish early. Cams are set to 0 - 0 still. They will have a filddle next week.

With the controller off (20ish PSI) it made 441 RWKW. I got my goal of 400RWKW @ 5000 RPM which is awsome. AHhhh let me drive it!!!!!

Great results ...Now max those snails out , i wanna see 500 kw :P

They have nothing left. Thats it. If I could run more I would :(. Could fiddle with cam timing but i want that bulldog midrange!

I know 29 psi would be maxing them out , shame it drops off a little though.. Im just shit stirring .

Congrats on the awesome figures ..could still squeeze a few more with some timing , but those are killer numbers.

It should be real fun to drive ..And now i know which cams to get too :thumbsup:

massive power & being low mounts would put those arguments to rest :)

great result - congrats paul

i never expected this level of power, just goes to show the results you have yielded comes down to a great setup & as u said before, all these small percentages here & there = big numbers!!!

atleast you know the std airbox works just fine

For shits and giggles we are gonna open the box up so it's just filter. See what happens there!

Well done Paul. Awesome to these numbers especially so early in the revs.

What turbo actuators are you running?

Standard Garrett item's that have been tricked up by Racepace. I have backed them off to 20 PSI.

    • I find I am using the MX5 for everything except long overnight cruises with Jackie, or, if picking up the kids to go somewhere, the SS has so much more room inside, and is much more comfortable if your going to be doing Hwy driving for 6-8 hours And the MX5 isn't bad in stop go traffic for a manual transmission car, whilst the clutch kit has been upgraded from stock, it is still light, and also not having a stupidly light flywheel in it helps as well, I've spent alot of time sitting on the M5, M4 and M7 stuck in traffic when plodding around the Greater Sydney Region in it
    • I can totally get why you like it for that sort of commute. I was thinking BoganDore because it's such a lazy drive, for things like stop start traffic.   I used to do over an hour in stop start shit from one side of Bris to the next, twice a day. My choice of car was larger displacement, with an auto. Basically for torque in low rpm/very low speed, and no clutch pedal. But loved a fun manual for the weekends, which the partner has (plus had the LandCruiser too for other fun drives). I now have an EV as a work car, and I tell ya what, ultimate daily driver, especially if youre out of energy, like I often am after work. I don't even need to touch the brake pedal   That said, I'm presently rebuilding the Liberty GTB to get it setup for weekend drives and track abuse! So small high revving turbo engine with 6 speed cog swapper!   But for your style of commute, I'd probably take the MX5 too!   For those choices, I'm ignoring fuel economy. Because I know how atrocious V8 daily life is for fuel from when I used to daily a manual SS, ha ha. Hence why I know I love the daily rumble of a V8
    • II know what u are saying after 9 years of hibernating my stock engined  110,00km gtt I got it registered 2 weeks ago. Took it for a drive a couple of days ago and some fresh bp fuel, I just couldn’t stop grinning and dreaming of when I will start my build thread. its just such a primal man feeling many forget to enjoy I wish u so much enjoyment with your little racer mate
    • People just don't understand how good MX5's actually are and how fun they are to drive, park, manuever. You feel like you have got some fun cheat code, while everyone else is sitting in their luxobargeSUV like normies who missed the point of living. It really is that noticable. As long as you/your stuff fit, and you're comfortable (they are), a MX5 is the best car on earth to daily around.
    • Before and after, headlight's done along with bumper.
