I have fallen in love with the car, it really s an awesome machine, however it is not close to being as fast as i was expecting, it has been road mapped on a T25 Hybrid (which i dont the spec of) at 8psi... my first job is going to be getting remapped to 15psi or buy a T28 chinacharger and then get it mapped.. i know alot of people dont like them china chargers but i know a few people who run them no problem!!

Nice shots! Definitly crank up the boost, I could't imagine running around on 8psi ;)

Nice car.

I'm envious of your extra room on the exhaust side of the engine. Probably could use a heat shield still, for the intake's sake.

Very clean and seemingly well sorted out car....How bout some more details on any other mods?

I bet at 15psi you'll be where you want to be

Congrats

ps--whats the bloody price you'd expect to pay across the pond for a boosted mx-5 ya tallywanker?

Your British is amazing.

haha TonyV!! I paid £4000 for this, but a boosted Mk1 MX5 will start at 2500 and go up to around £5000 although i have seen them more expensive!!

Here is the full spec list of the car:

Do you think i will be happy with 15psi on the T25 or would you go for a T28?? Also unfortunetly thats not my garage its the previous owners lol!

Other than that clean car.

Those 305 injectors are why it's at 8psi btw, keep it there until you upgrade to larger units.

levnubhin 06-27-2010 02:46 PM
