2.5L ITB NC built for TimeAttack (with some goodies)
Hey guys!
I'm Domi from Germany. My MX5 is a NC '08, with around 60k km. The journey started 2017, after I crashed my first, softly modified NC on the road. After some hospitalization I've found a new NC with my preferred spec: -2L -Niseko -low km -black -"near mint" -rust free So I started modding again with SPS Motorsport. Stage I & II (Cams) with ECUTek tune, wheels, coilovers, some other stuff. 2018 was my first trackday, and this was a game changer! 2019 the engine blowed up, so we started the ultimate N/A Build! Here are some points: -2,5L Engine completely built, forged, higher cr (15:1), Stage 2,5 cams, milled head, lighter crankshaft, lighter flywheel, dry sump system (tank in trunk), Jenvey ITB with some minor changes -custom exhaust, AWR engine mounts and engine bar -Gearbox changed to 6 speed with CAE shifter, shorter Kaaz 1,5way differential -Liteblox battery, Megasquirt 3, Race Technology Dash 2 with CAN Adapter set (tbd at the moment) -custom roll bar, Recaro Pole Positions, custom seat adapter (low as possible), 6 point Schroth harness, Momo steering wheel - JR5 17x8,5 with 235/40AR1; Rota Titan 17x9 with 235/40AR1, BC Racing with changed springs, whiteline sway bars, Stop tech big brake kit I've sure missed some points, but yeah, that's it for now. There are still many many ideas tbd.:hatecat: The car is now mainly used for Track (e.g. German TimeAttack), but is still street legal! Here is a video of one of the last dyno runs: A video from SPS about the whole car: Power output is 300hp and 320nm. with other cams we could do even more, but would reduce the low end torque. The car drives perfect with way more punch I would expect from a N/A car, for me it's the perfect NC! Here are some pics:

That car looks and sound fantastic. Since it is a track car, are you going to start adding aero now?

Yes, that's one point; But I want some removable Aero, because here in Germany you can't drive on the road with some serious aero. Was looking for something like the 9livesracing Aero kit, maybe some DIY. |
This car runs fully on an MS3, in case people missed it. :naughty:

Is there any problem? DBW works, original speedo works, even the original CAN controlled cooling fan works perfect. Runs like OEM, but was a very hard way haha |

Yes, why?

hahaha, Yes, Dimi and Jan gave everything to make that possible, all day 'n night.
But now it works like a charm. So thankful, recommendation 11/10. Is MS not so common in here? Now I'm about to drop in the Dash 2 with CAN Interface, so there is a small "reunion" with Dimi hahaha I hope I'm gettin the last bit working. |
Reverant = Dimi ;)

Oh, to get things in here up to date.
Dash is installed and works correctly: CNC'ed a carbon mount and covered with alcantara. https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...375a5ac5ff.jpg |
Looks sweet! What sort of CNC machine do you have? I honestly had never thought about milling out a carbon plate.
|
3 axis portal with 1150x560x250mm space.
The carbon plate was easy haha, can go steel with this machine. |
