This IS the one and only Big Gulp superchardged Miata. It includes a custom billet milled intake manifold and all billet custom bracketry, etc. The only car like this in the world and the FIRST cold disde MP62. This car has been running with NO problems since 2004. Originally at 340 rwhp, it was alost too much car to drive, i.e. extremely quick. Detuned several years later to the current power level of 270 rwhp, but NOS was upped from 75 to 100+ shot. Water / alky setup was changed to a Devil's own system using meth, post intercooler. Motor also has a custom coolant re-route setup. Brake pads are Hawk Hi perf.
I have receieved a few questions about the car, and thought it best to answer here as well....the original engine had a problem at around 17k miles, so the current bueprinted engine has around 23k on it. The car drives fine in bumper to bumper traffic, it is not a race only setup. The rear differential is a torsen (similar to posi-trac or limited slip) with 4.3 gearing. With the 5 speed transmission, top speed is around 150 mph. Engine redline is 7800 rpm's. Exhaust is a modified 2001 header with 2 1/2" exhaust. Currrently running a resonator, turbo style muffler and crankcase evac setup, 75mm Mustang throttle body with Biggulp VRTL and cowl induction intake. The exhaust is not that loud, but some power was lost from the original numbers as per www.biggulp.net. Some due to the exhaust and some from lowering boost. Original boost was 21 psi, current is around 13 psi.
Any and all questions are welcome
Thanks

Also, notice he's NOT using Hyper's reroute :rofl:

Couldn't he figure out a better place for the coils instead of right above the header?

Ick to excess heat.

That looks like WAAAAYYYYY to much work. But, still extremely impressive amount of engineering and design.

Would be a good car to buy cheap and part out.

the work is already done...


or keep and enjoy 340rwhp/310rwtq:

Amazing numbers, I never thought Id ever see a miata make numbers like that with a supercharger.

The answer is always more boost. IIRC that's at 26psi....

So my thread title sucked and it was in the general Miata section:

Yea I know, but still its awesome. Im guessing without the meth it wont survive long at 26 psi?

Makes me want to supercharge my car, in addition to the turbo ;)

that was back in 2004....look like the motor has held up since ;)

If anyone is seriously intrested or know's someone who is intrested, this car is pretty local to me. I wouldn't mine have an excuse to go see it.

All I can say is "wow"! For a car that's on e-bay, I am impressed. Looks to be a legit rocketship that's not slapped together and craigslist worthy, and a coldside MP62? Way to go! I say nicely done, except for the coils over the manifold. Is that a stock mani? You'd think a car that's supercharged with this much boost would have a header...oh well, I still like it.

I had a chance to ride in that car and was very impressed. I'm sorry to see him sell it.

Kids, this is what we call a "sleeper"...

I have a sleeper too... Mine's more of a sleeper than his.

nice.

I wouldn't worry too much about having the coil packs over the header. GM didn't seem to see a problem with it in their LSX cars. I haven't heard that GM coil failures are common. Building a cheap reflective shield under the CPs should be trivial.

I have a sleeper to. Although mine just falls asleep when I stomp the gas :)

lol:giggle:
