Hi, NB2 Track Miata from Michigan
 

Hey there!

Been lurking awhile but figured I should post since purchasing my very own Miata. I have benefited immensely from this forum already and may have some experiences of my own to share soon. :ugh2:

2004 Mazda Miata LS 5spd

This car used to have the large tupperware kit on it but I have since performed an intervention and he's much better now. :naughty:

98,000 miles
FM springs
Koni yellow shocks
FM sways
15x8 Advant Storm S1
Dunlop Direzza ZIII
Aim Solo 2
Hard Dog Hardcore M2
Gloc R8 pads

Anywho, one day I would like a small turbo setup making approximately 180-200 whp with some sort of interesting track focused IC setup (h2o to air?).

In the meantime I'll be doing a lot of track days at Gingerman, Grattan, and Mid Ohio.

Thanks for stopping by! :D

Welcome from MI!

H20 to air would not be very track focused, maybe autocross or drag.

nope. that aint gon fly

I see I've been cropped out of the picture like an ex-girlfriend



Horton may be new to Miata but he's an excellent driver, hope to share a racecar and track with you again soon

Good to know. I only thought it might work because it wouldn't have to sit in front of the radiator which would hurt engine cooling.

I hate the idea of hanging a big ass weight on the front of a track car. Anything to move an IC more rearward would be cool.

The air to water makes a lot of sense for events that are really short, because you can fill the reservoir with ice and get the temps below ambient. A track setup would just melt all the ice. Then without someway to cool the water, you end up just heat soaking during a track session and your temps will gradually rise. A small but efficient air to air makes a lot more sense for long duration use. It does suck having the mass as far away from the CG as possible, but I don't know where else it'd package well and get good airflow.
