Anyways... this is still all int he planning stages and I have to figure out packing as well. Bottom mount but I don't know where to put the wastegate. |

In for teh win. Falco mentioned this in another thread many moons ago, I'm hoping this is for the reals?
Right now though, I'm just trying to think of how much boost the motor can really take. 20PSI? 25PSI? Who knows... Crank it up and see? Lol... |
If you decide you want something bigger than that C30-94, I may know someone that's interested in your old one.
|
Its built. Number of "PSI" is irrelevent. What is relevant is correct setup and tuning.
You can have the wastegate on top of the turbo if you're going bottom mount. The torque curve shape should be interesting to see on a 1.6. I'm predicting an LSx replica. |
Haha, if anything I may go down to a 74. Right now the Rotrex is pushing 16PSI at 8k and with a turbo, even pushing only 5psi it would make 26-27psi at the motor which is a bit out of my comfort zone. We'll see I might just put a bigger pully on it and gear it down a bit.

I sense a pending trade in your future... |

Going to take some measurements and see what Abe can come up with. If anything I doubt this being completed for a few months so don't get all excited just yet guys! :P Oh and I need a job first... haha |
Your engine bay will look like a plate of spagetti

Yeah pretty much.
For reference, what it "kind of" looks like right now, sans piping. https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1332970750 |

Lets just say that the motor will be seeing a substantially higher amount of boost than what the turbo will be pushing out. A turbo for low RPM, and a supercharger for high RPM is really going to confuse the super/failcharger crew. You should get a couple 60mm TiAL wastegates. |
What about having the compressor feed directly into the mouth of the rotrex?
...but then you might have supercharger surge ( LOLWAT) |
Why not just run a turbonator?
|
^^ Thats kind of the plan, but there will be a blow off valve of some sort in there.
And Hustler, you know me... all about making people go "why the hell did he do that?"... c'mon who else spends a ludicrous amount of money building a 1.6L motor then putting a Rotrex on it? |
people that wished they drove a honda

So I can put some boost in my boost, so I boost while I boost. http://t2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:A...S8WvSKuCf1GnzQ |

yet you replicated their power and torque curvehttps://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1332971324

In a RWD, light and much better chassis.

hehe, look what I found. C30-74 w/ Holset HX40. 4AGE
