put some ARP headstuds in, moarrrrrrrrr boost man

Law of diminishing returns Dose Pipe - we upped the boost to 22psi and only made 306rwkw.  I think that unless I spend a lot more time on the dyno finding out where the weak link is and re engineer my set up I will see little gain vs psi increase.  Somewhere in every tune there is a point where power and efficiency cross over, right now I am at that point for this set up.

Maybe restriction on cooling and or exhaust flow, I found the stock manifold starts to glow about 300kW+

Might was glowing like the sun lol... once I moved the gate onto the manifold, the glow decreased, reduction in restriction and heat then motor just breathed better netting a 40kW gain (although turbo was revised, same compressor but CBB centre and updated rear housing by HyperGear)

Sututututuuuuuu do you have a picture of how your manifold was done? Who also did it for you? I know cast is supposed to be a bit harder to weld. 

 

Got an extrude honed HKS cast low mount so I would be surprised if that was the problem.  Maybe an exhaust restriction eg my Cat, but I don't know and the nearest dyno is 200km away so I live with it.

This was a post i think from Scotty a long time ago... Ive always wondered why more havent tried it... But looking at my car today, it's cause its a tight squeeze...

Whats the sensor thats suppose to be there, cause its in the way...?

Interesting thread, mines been at 250odd for a few years and will be doing a few things over the next 12 months to give 300 a nudge

Everything on my car at the moment seems to be pretty happy at 250, HKS 2535 turbo, Blitz turnflow intercooler etc. I'm in no rush to change too much as it's a great daily package as it is

Just add e85 and more boost or water meth injection with more boost and you should go close.

    • Oh wow, it's easy to forget how cheap these can be. Probably the cheapest way to travel. Though people in cars here tend to be morons and I would not feel very safe. Were scooters ever big in Australia? It used to be the thing growing up in Europe ~20 years ago. 50/70/125ccm Peugeot or Yamaha and some others. Utterly obnoxious Polini race exhausts. Kick stands that slant as much as possible. So loud. So much noise for really not moving very fast at all. But it felt cool at the time. Not sure where I'm going with this, but there is an aftermarket for mopeds! Though I'd have pictured you more for a Goldwing kind of guy after growing out of the Harley.
    • You need to know I am sorry for this.  
    • As the MX5 isn't apparently "manly" enough, and I need something for runs to the local shops, and also take to my part time job at the salon, basically I can keep the MX5 away from car parks and stuff......like "flying lockers", I was wondering what I could buy to fix this issue LOL, I pick up a new Yamaha 125 Delight this arvo from Trooper Lu, basically a R1 that you can fit a slab of beer on between your feet, also, it was $29400 cheaper than a R1, so actually it's 2 x better than a R1    
    • Nah. H2S. H2S is "rotten egg gas", which is what is associated with no cat. SO2 is equally nasty, and if you've ever smelt it you'll know all about it. More of a choking, acid in the back of the throat sort of thing. But you can only smell it in a narrow range up to about 1ppm. Above that, it irritates your mucous membranes, but you don't smell it.
    • Kicked the 34 in the guts, she won’t be seeing the road till I get the 31 mobile again.  wont be long and she’s a bit of a garage princess anyway haha
