2000 Supercharged Miata (yea..not turbo)
2 Attachment(s)
So here it is, My asphalt eating street machine Known as "Big Gulp"
She was built in 03-04 by RJW on Miata.net, Or Richard as most know him, as a proof of concept. The First Coldside Supercharged Miata and as far as I know, still the record holder for highest RWHP from a supercharged Miata, at 347 i think. I purchased her in Feb. 13th and drove her from Miami to Tennessee. I intend to clean up the motor, repaint the black and have everything red powder coated this winter. Currently I have to get a good tune on it so I can run past half throttle. However, she is pretty damn fast at half throttle :D |
Something different......Nice.

Whipple? Eaton M90?

Thanks..

Haltech E6X stand alone computer Devil's own methalyne injection post intercooler 100% meth used, not mix…?? custom coolant re-route redline is 7800 rpm crankcase evac setup Biggulp VRTL cowl induction intake 75mm Mustang throttle body Driveline Centerforce clutch torsen with 4.3 gearing Suspension mods Racing beat front & rear sway bars Eibach springs KYB shocks (adjustable) manual steering rack Emilio 6 UL wheels, with 205/15 Azenis Brake mods Hawk Hi performance brake pads Interior Mods custom gauges custom switches Exhaust modified 2001 header 2.5" exhaust turbo Camaro Muffler I have a few plans for her in the future myself ;) |
Looks good, +1 on cleaning up that hideous engine bay. Also be careful and make sure to get her tuned before you end up with a hole in the block!
Looks rad. |
Nice car, I bet it sounds sick at WOT, I love that SC whine.
|
At WOT it sounds like an Indy car!!! And gets the attention of EVERY Single cop for a mile radius!!! 2 tickets in my first week. I wore earplugs almost the whole way back from Florida. But I did make the Drive from Miami to Knoxville in 14 hours :D
My wife says it sounds like a Tie FIghter as it flies by. |
omg
wtf happened with the fucking red spray paint?!?! |
I'm confused, everyone with a supercharger complains about driveability issues. I had driveability issues with my turbo. Then I pressed the "autotune" button and it's smooth as silk now. What's stopping the supercharger guys from adding a MS and doing this?!?
|
As I understand it the huge volume between the TB and the head is the primary cause. Thats pretty hard for a speed density system or an AFM system to deal with I guess. I and not entirely sure, but differences in temp (there would be very large ones with a cold-side SC in the intake post TB) would make for some odd behavior with so much volume and thus mass of air to deal with. AKA, a 1L plenum wont fluctute much in terms of mass-air-contained even as temps change. A 4L will.
|
Very clean! Great job on keeping it simple.

Thats what Im here for, hehe
|
That car made 340rwhp/310rwtq at one point....pretty damn nice numbers. I was always drooling over that site when I had s/c'ed Miatas.
|
As for the red spray paint.... yea......
As I said in my original post, this winter the black is getting repainted black, all the red is getting powercoated. The PO painted it with caliper paint while still assembled. No biggie, just not the best look in the world ;) Doppleganger, the basic plan now is to make 400 RWHP by the end of next summer :) |
Pull that valve cover off, spray the area around it black and then put it back on...problem solved.
|
Different... Nice! That charger reminds me of the Lyscomb screw on the Millenia S I had years back.
|
so 347whp, with or without NOS ?
Gordon (Trackdayhookey), makes 330whp on his Rotrex Miata. that's on Superflow chassis dyno, if on Church's Dynojet, it is ~360whp. |
That was 347 WithOUT NOS. :) With.. closer to 470...

Consider them stomped
|
Awesome!! Then we will film it, I will set it up to loop on my projector, which will be aimed at the neighbors house... constant reminder of what happens when you touch the car!!!
|
February 4, 2010 - Fast Five -- that's what Universal is calling the fifth installment of the Fast and the Furious series -- is happening. And yes, Vin Diesel and Paul Walker will be back for the film, as will director Justin Lin and producer Neal Moritz. |
Wonder if they need a Supercharged Miata for the movie.. you know, to show all the "fluff" cars up :D
|
They are up to 5? Gawd.
|
Last one I heard of was 3!!
|
Wow your car is loaded. Keep us informed with updates man.
I was thinking about the fast and furious today. For some reason. |
How much did you paid?? I was screening this on autotrader. Nice ride just a bit too much red :wavey:
|
$7500 for the car. There is more red to come on it too. :)
|
Damn I sent the guys a couple of emails, even call him a couple of times also but he never got to me. Good buy try to keep the red to a minimum :giggle:

|
Oh god!!!!! You kidding right o_O
|
Hahahahaha nope. This is to be my trackcar next year. That is for the track.
|
|
I'd say no to the shark vinyl sarry
|
Actually, not. Wrap. It will be individual smaller graphics over the silver paint.
I know it is not to everyone's taste, but then it is my car. :D And I happen to be a HUGE fan of the Warhawks and the Mustangs. |
7500 was a steal on that car.
|
Knowing how much it costs to have a pro build an engine... I know that I got a steal on the engine. The car, wheels and all the spare parts.. were just thrown in for free :) I was utterly astonished to learn that the car had been listed for that price for over a year.
