1000cc injectors is way to small for 500kw on e85.....

Or at least a Aussie 500kw that is.

this finally someone hit the nail on the head

But we are comparing American pony power vs Australian horse power

Odd..... I have made over 900whp on a 3" exhaust. Even that much must cover our apparent over zealous dynos.

I think low 500 horse power at the wheels on a gtr your pushing shit uphill with a 3 inch exhaust!

how you achieve an extra 400 horsepower Power from the same size exhaust has me wondering if mushrooms are to blame [emoji23]

Sorry, I mean that camaro. I'm interested in what it trapped

Sorry but no. That car was built for speed competition such as standing mile events (see: The Texas Mile). The car did 168mph at the half mile & 203.8mph at the mile marker.

We have another camaro that made a touch over 750whp. Also through a 3" exhaust, it frequents the 1/4 mile often. Best pass to date on a stock short block & stock auto trans is 10.3 @ 137mph @ 4160lb

That car has a similar turbo system as the higher power car, just a much smaller Precision 7175 turbo.

This is the best result i have seen, this engine is about as built as they get,

2.8 stroker

Naprec/HKS prepped and ported head with OS valves

260 x 10.85 custom cams with very serious springs, forget brand :)

Port matched manifolds attached to Racepace modded -5s

Full maf less hard pipe kit from air box to plenum

Nismo intercooler and Nismo Plenum

ID2000s with twin 044s on a custom surge tank

Ross trigger wheel setup

And twin 3" exhaust

Plus heaps of supporting gear

    • 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).
