You'd also be curious to know that BEGi developed their NC turbo kit based on a rear mounted turbo for proof of concepts.

He'll let you know when it's finally completed.
So like 2069 |
That's too bad. Would have liked to see the setup.

I came into this thread expecting egg plant, I was pleasantly surprised. Op if you want to really make this cop proof just make a nice heat shield over the whole thing so it looks like a big oval muffler. You might have to battle some actual heat problems then so it might not be worth it.
For his setup WI is a perfectly fine charge cooling solution, especially to keep the stealth factor. |
would never do it. But I love the total stock looking engine bay.

WI is water injection.

How'd that work out? Any pics or articles? I'm curious how they did it.
BEGi - Articles - Turbo System for the 2006+ MX5 M - CP_06_MX5_2 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1450959226 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1450959226 |
WHATTTT
Why didn't I think to put the intercooler in the back? |
I mean, in direct path of heat from a 1800F hotside.
....genius |
And in an area where it's not going to receive the best airflow, presuming that it's tucked up behind the rear bumper cover.
|
I mean, before you all go crazy on the concept it looks to be mostly just tacked into place. For all you know this was just to test fitment and maybe then add ducting or something for rear evacuation of the heat.

Did you even read the article? Or look at the pictures. It was quite a finished system. Had heat shielding and everything.
"The turbo system photos are for a prototype system only. IT WILL NOT BE THE PRODUCTION SYSTEM SOLD. The turbo system is mounted under the rear bumper. The big secret was the rear mount congifuration, Corky was not sure if it would work much less how well. But it does work and throttle response is real good. So we can let "the cat out of the bag". This has probably been the most well know secret BEGi has had. The production turbo, which will commence shortly, will be in the engine bay with a relocated battery." |

Yeah, I mean, it says it right at the beginning...
