Coolant Reroute on AutoX Turbo 1.8 NA?
I know the reroute is highly recommended for turbo track cars, but what about a street/autocross car? If it makes any difference, the runs are typically ~80sec, with 10-15 min in between. Gonna be shooting for ~200 WHP on a SR20 or similar turbo + mspnp2. Thanks!

For a 1.8 turbo doing track duty which kit is typically recommended?
|
A reroute is always nice if you can do it. However, if you care about auto-x classing you need to be aware that for most classes the reroute is not a permitted modification.

But if you're a non-stock turbo (i.e. not a MSM, you're already in a Modified class of some sort anyway). IMHO - a reroute is a good thing to do even for a DD, not track-focused NA or NB. |
Thanks for responses so far, looks like I should invest some bloody knuckles in one. To clarify I'm not concerned with classing, in fact the clubs I run with usually only classify race/street tire & novice.

Reroute spacer can be purchased from a mt.net member here: https://www.miataturbo.net/miata-par...r-mount-88962/ You will also need a kia waterneck, some hoses, and some bolts for the install. It's all well documented on the forum.

What classes allow the reroute? I'm assuming that street and street touring do not allow it, but what about SSM or CSP?

Bandit also sells a full kit with everything needed for the install!

SSM I believe allows it. Probably the Prepared classes as well. |
Anyone have a link to the bandit kit? Couldn't find it online.

Edit: Also Hawley Performance Online Store... I should be getting commission or something... |

I'm always happy to help!
Can confirm, CSP is a no go. SSM is definitely legal. :bigtu: |

How is the kit on a 1.8 turbo car? Does the coolant line need to be shielded? Any modifications to make it work?

Also what about doing this on a stock car, before I go turbo? It looks like bandit's full kit doesn't include thermostat housing or EGR block off plates?

EGR Block-Off https://squareup.com/store/hawleyper...-egr-block-off Coolant Spacer Kit (Select "Yes, All Items") https://squareup.com/store/hawleyper...reroute-spacer |
Does the 'allofit' option include the plug for the front if one isn't deleting it? I think I'd messaged you about this way back because I figured 'everything' would include all parts necessary to do the install!
|
All block off plates are sold separately. This is done basically to alleviate even more configurations of the same kit which has a tendency to confuse customers and make it easier for us to make mistake on the shipping side. Whichever way you would prefer to block off the front coolant passage (thermostat housing or cylinder head) would also be required. :bigtu:
