Message zoom on this forum, he's all over the WMI shit.

It explained to me what you do is get the afrs down to say 10.5 and inject, change nozzles blah blah with wmi till you lean it back up by 1 afr point, ie back to where you were before. Then advance the timing as you would with E85.

My lazy E85 blanket is 5 degrees at peak torque and about 7 up top. Then use a dyno to determine where on the curve you can improve.

He reckons WMI is on par with E85, however with wmi you lose off boost torque because you're not injecting it on vac (well you could).

Was explained to me in a similar way, change nozzles until your standard no wmi base afr is only richened by around 0.8afr with wmi and either tune it out if you have fail safe or leave it if not.

Not having much power under vac isn't a problem for us auto guys, always on boost when you're above 10% throttle.

The kits aren't cheap. If I can't get an extra 20-30kw under 4K I don't think it's worth it for me. But peak power, $500 for an extra 40-50kw is money well spent.

My tuner said he doesn't want to run more then 20 to be safe.

Maybe I could go e85 have a eflex sensor and do the 30 bottom end conversion.. If I go 30 bottom end would I need a bigger turbo it has a .67 rear it's the atr45 from hypergear 600hp rated ?

you would just get a a .82 housing of him, no need to get another turbo.

cheers

Bigger cams will only move the power to the right on the graph. Yes there may be a tad more of it but you will loose a whole lot down low. Same goes for putting a different plenum on. So its a trade off. May be worth it, may not, depends on exactly what you want to do with the car.

Also note that if you upgrade to the wrong cams (generally anything massive) you will need to delete the VCT solenoid on the intake, which will also hurt low down torque and power. I think the HKS 256mm drop in does let you retain vct? (someone would have to confirm that) so that, or one tha tdoes, pretty much the only one you should realistically go with

Tomei make drop in where you can still use your VCT, or last time I looked they did.

    • You are correct, the earlier the torque, the earlier things snap
    • Gents, it will be getting the MX5 Mania kit and the 2.5 will be staying where it is My query was about the 0.64 or the 0.86, whilst the 0.64 might spool a bit faster, would the 0.86 be better IRT EGT and mechanical sympathy, with only a small difference in spool And as I assume I won't need alot of boost to get to 200kw, probably around 10 psi, and with max rpm at 6500, would high EGT even really be a issue with a 0.64 I'm heading into MX5 Mania at the end of Jan to discuss the install, so any info is welcome prior to that Basically have a chat and book a time so they can throw on the turbo kit, and fit a oil cooler with a thermostat, drive in drive out of course  In other news: just finished cleaning the car inside and out, it's now all ready to get covered in bugs and dirt driving to Goulburn tomorrow to lunch,  and go for a stroll along woolondilly River with the daughter and her boy, and of course, visit my grandcats and my new grandpuppy 
    • Sounds like it has an actual problem with mode select doors, or something.
    • Hope your all having a mean Xmas! If anyone happens to know any trick to using the insanely complex climate control system, I cannot get it to not be on dual zone no matter how many times I deselect it (will say it's not but both vents blow different temps). Also one side is always hot, one always cold 🤷
    • I'd be looking at the mentioned EFR kit, room to turn it up if decide on e85 (which we know you will) and be super responsive and fun on the street. OR https://v8roadsters.com/product-category/engine-conversions/engine-conversion-lsx/engine-conversion-lsx-nc/?srsltid=AfmBOorrJa2S76JR5ekXprxBOtU44a1UProbe64YaiVi9zTVp1Lj814w And add whooshy noise for extra fun C5 corvette prices are coming down locally here and a mate has a manual one and is a heap of fun on the street and track.
