Miata + V8 + turbo!!!

Yea, I just came.
|
yeah, that's pretty ridiculous. i like how you can tell how much throttle feathering is necessary by how often it gets a lil squirrely when he (she?) is on it in any sort of turn...

Car is awesome, video sucks.

A guy locally had a Supercharged V8 (Rustang Cobra engine) with a 200 shot of NOS. That car was retarded. Torque FTMFW!

Still didn't catch the two cars ahead of him/her:nono:
|
yeah i was waiting for it to catch something. I guess it was one of those "just because" builds, a much more simply modded ls1 can be just as fast, most likely a bunch lighter and easier to drive without the turbos to worry about.
|
thats pretty crazy.

That Lexus V8 sounds nothing like an F1 engine. Matter of fact, there is nothing I've heard that matches that sound (and yes, I've been to a couple F1 races).
I'd drive that car in a heartbeat though! Anyone have a link to pics of the build? I think it'd be cool if someone did the LSx swap and used a remote turbo.. |
i said ish
|
Come on guys... How can yall argue over how an engine sounds when everyone knows Fords sound the best....:gay:

Yes, it sounds badass, yes it sounds like a race car ought to. No it does not sound like a 19,000 rpm screamer honda v8.
|
i guess you can do anything if your rich....

baddest 2.4 L on the block :cool:, i still prefer the quadcam P86 though |
Sholdy Shit man!

hey I asked on our local maillist... guy doesn't seem to have a web page, or anything.
BTW - I really really doubt he's rich, being NZ it's more likely to be a couple guys with beanies, tolerant g/f's and a shed full of gear... :D ... this is actually the 2nd lexus-v8 mx5 ... there was another one in the North Island. I have a video of him doing a monster burnout at the skidfest if anyone's interested :P . |
This is the nicest Toyo/Lexus V8 swap I've seen: http://picasaweb.google.com/alaivins/Miata
He's probably the 2nd or 3rd to have done it. He just recently swapped in a manual tranny (after having it successfully smogged and registered in California with the stock auto tranny temporarily installed). |
never gets old.
