Project 200whp N/A
#283
My NA8 200whp mx5 is road registered in Australia. It doesn't get driven on the road except for testing and then its just driven around the block. At that power level with a N/A engine it doesn't really like to idle and the exhaust is a bit loud. I compete in a road registered class so I keep it registered.
I'm looking forward to see the dyno with the ITBs. You generally get big harmonic dips based on trumpet lengths.

I love this build.
One big question I have and see happening on your car as well.
At higher RPM's the factory oil pressure gauge drops off significantly, looked like it was in the 15's near the limiter in the video.
I've noticed at the track when I had my rev limit raise to 7200 rpms vs the actual factory cut of 6950 (94) that the oil pressure gauge would drop slightly. That lead me to short shift to eliminate the drop.
Is the oil pressure actually dropping that much or is the gauge and or reader get funky above a certain rpm?

My oil pressure gauge has been doing that same crap for 3 years, I've torn the car apart and sanded and star washered every ground and it still does it, I'm guessing sender or actual gauge issue. I figure if it were actually true I would have lost the motor a long time ago, has made it through thousands of track miles just fine.
Back on topic, that thing looks WAY more well mannered than I thought it would be. Looking forward to the dyno.

This car looked like an absolute monster Sunday. Before I knew the details of the build I was sure it was a supercharged 1.8 with its obvious combination of power and response. Also put my car to shame by 4.644 seconds
For anyone that wants a frame of reference for just how fast this car is, here's me with +50whp nowhere near the Taxi's pace:

205whp
Ran out of time on the dyno but got it pretty close. Another 5-10whp once we play around with injection timing, ex cam timing and fine tune VVT tables a bit more. Motor is for sale BTW. Email us directly if you are interested. We can build you something as simple as a blueprinted stock BP or anything in between.
edit: Somebody pointed out that I didn't set the display to SAE correction which was 1.01 for this run. So 201whp / 158tq corrected. Doh.
