turbo intake?
|
Frankly, the car drives amazingly as is. The only thing I'd want is longer gears and a higher redline.

If you only make 550whp at that psi then there is zero hope for me to break 600 with my s366 at the same psi. Balls.

putting a short runner mani on this car would be incredibly stupid
we're all drooling at his torque under curve and you're suggesting he reduce it? lol |

Awesome numbers, congrats.
Fae said "stock crappy 1.8 head" is that a NA head? 99-00? 01+? I guess I need to go study your build thread, I want my car to be just like yours when it grows up. I have a VVT head in garage and while sure, I may not necessary pick anything up from just having VVT vs 99 head - the purpose with the VVT head is to build/port it for a higher revlimiter and better flow. |

I want a nice intake but its the lowest priority item right now. Gotpsi IM is close to $1000 and I need to spend that money on tires :party:
This would just get that much more crazy with VVT. If you had to guess and without becoming physically ill, how far into this build are you dollar wise? |
Is the boost rising to redline? Just wondering what's keeping torque up as typically the stock manifold was "blamed" for torque drop post peak with rpm rise.
|
I'm very interested in this too. But then usually its not just torque drop that others experience. Its power drop too. This thing does neither
|
So with the VVT, are people actually noticing HP difference? I just don't understand why the factory didn't use it on the Speed Miata (Mazda hasn't always been known for good decisions, so this might've been another case!) My 99 head is ported for my engine and so on, but just for future since the engine will be rebuilt once a year at least anyways.

VVT does nothing past 3 or 4k rpm iirc
Just lowend/spool |

- obviously bigger compressor wheel with different compressor map - VICS works and activates at 5000 - magic timing map made by Faeflora, with timing ramping up about 6* from 5.5k to redline - sacrificed a goat??

have you tuned the timing latency? |

HAve you checked if the timing retards as the RPMs increase? should do it with the timing locked and using a timing light. This is part of the proceedure during initial setup.
