If I bought up this intake, I wouldn't have to cut my glorious FM hood. Steve@Powercurve and I have an arangement worked out in trade, so I could get it on the dyno quickly. Stephanie |

Not yet. I have three out there that should see results in a few weeks. The previous version only saw benefits at the top RPM range. So I do not know about the low end stuff. We will have to see.

And to further show that lack of drop off... my 1.6l with a custom IM.

those rpm #'s are not accurate. It hitting max torque at 4krpm, and 15psi there too. I know it could be better, but I think it may be fast enough. Its "orange gt3rs-fast" on a highway roll in 3rd to redline in 5th. Once I get the new suspension on...it will hopefully "orange gt3rs-corner" too. I've heard that long-runner intakes help add torque down low, but then I look at that dyno and think that I can add more power and torque, but what about the additional heat and stress on the drivetrain.
I don't really know that I want to drive this car at its current power level on the track. You can ask anyone who's ridden, driven, or seen it...this car moves. |

that's your same turbo on a 1.6L (.86 A/R and all), with a chewed up turbine blade no less.

I've moved this to the appropriate thread. I really want to track my progress and thinking there for the next guy who does this.
https://www.miataturbo.net/forum/t30388-6/ now, back to the intake plenum discussion. |
The Intake Manifold for a stock NB is off today. The end user will install and test it shortly!
Stephanie |
nice
|
any results come in from other testers?
|
+!
|
bueller? bueller? anyone? bueller?
|
To my knowledge, two are being installed now. One is installed and one is waiting for warmer weather. I will let you know as soon as I do. Promise.

Mine installed again, hopefully next weekend i can get it running again and dynoed soon:

The next test car I need is a 1.8L running ~ 12 psi, GT2860/GT2560 Turbo with stock internals. Need to test the bent runner intake manifold.

Boo on not making it EGR compatible.

Steph, do you think it's possible to do something for my 99 that won't give me a CEL? You know the car; 99 S4.
