No, he's talking about the electric motor on ebay, which weighs 3 Miatas worth

He's saying that what you want is possible, but to get to it you need to do things properly.

I.e. you're going to have to stop holding your car together with zipties and use garden hose as IC pipework.

I'd like to hear what Tech thinks of soviet's torque curve.

He wants to see it from 2k rpm

Who the hell drives at 2k in an MX5? it's virtually impossible it's that low geared.

Actually...he sorta did.

I autox and tune in 5th gear.

I don't have a long enough flat road to tune 5th gear

Braineack

iTrader: (62)

bro you gotta tune for the gear you'll be driving in.

Damn, I forgot, guess I have a 3 gear only MX5 now, FML

You guys must be F1 drivers spinning your motors to 7k, everyone knows ideal shift points are at 2k.

Guess I missed out on that just saw pics of water hose intercooler piping and gave up on reading this.

I acutally think it's clever.

I think it would be great for the track, but not for street or autocross.
I say lets see acceleration G data for all gears if possible. See how big of difference this turbo unit is between the different gears.
Also like to see how minimal the turbo lag is acceleration G data say 5th gear
starting at 2k rpms to 5krpms vs 3500 rpms to 5k rpms.

How much do you suck at auto-x that you constantly find yourself at that low of an rpm? I only ever see below 4k rpm on the start, after a spin, or if I really really ---- up an element and have to practically stop in order to recover.

you seriously need to driv ein a car with a turbo that doesn't output like a used tampon.

1-2-3-4-5 gears. I lifted at about 110mph. I started at ~5mph. In 11.8 seconds


here's 2-3-4-5 at less boost. Speedo reads a few % low, actual gps speed is higher.

Skip shifting is whats hot in the streets. Keeps the revs down where ya want'em.

Braineack

but youre shifting at 6K bro...you need to get better gears so you drop back down to 2K.

soviet, you should check out your decel fuel cut settings, looks like its entering it with the clutch in, which it shouldnt.
