I would be excited to see the dyno plot myself once made public. I have toyed with the idea of using a tuned N/A VVT motor in my Exocet, but will be going the way of a turbo motor. It always makes me happy to see the attention to detail that seems to be put into this car. It makes me even happier to see it done by a group of guys that you know are doing it themselves to race against some of the factory backed teams. Kudos. |
The solid state relay system makes me wet. Super impressive car.

Those must be some pretty dam bright LEDs to house them behind the lens... same ones you had mounted on the hood last year?
|
^ I believe they also mount a second pair of those LEDs in the bumper opening for a total of 4.

Wow, that smartwire unit is really expensive. Unless someone uses all the channels it provides, it might be more economical to go with OTS solid state relays.

I guess you should use VVT to limit topend power to the rules.
Very nice job Emilio. |
Damn. Nicely done guys. I've always wanted an obnoxiously orange miata.
|
I need to change my pants now. Looks absolutely amazing Emilio! As always, best of luck out there!

Cool stuff!
What AFR's are you running? Runs on CA91 pump gas.

The stuff the Smartwire will do is endless. It ain't cheap but you are going into a cutting edge OEM realm of power control for even a home built project car. |
What is the matting in the driver's footwell? I need to get some of that as a bare floor is so freakin' slippery in the wet!
|
Soooooo fired up to drive this car! Honored to be part of the the team with one of the BEST prepared enduro cars out there. I hope I can figure out what all those switches do... :)
Cheers, Dean |

12.8 through midrange, 13.0 on top. Cal is very finely tuned for economy.
Runs on CA91 pump gas. Did you guys do anything like run the exhaust cam retarded to help control EGT? Or use Inconel exhaust valves? |
man that is a beast. What was done besides the intake to get the vvt to 148 whp. that seams like a very good power for a na bp motor.
high(er) comp pistons and tuning ? cams ? |

The inside of the tunnel has Thermo-Tec adhesive backed barrier. Image here. Header and exhaust are wrapped to rear axle with DEI 2" header wrap. Car has almost no radiant heat inside. Putting a ton of thermal barriers on the cockpit side of the tunnel is a waste of time. Exhaust will heat all the sheet metal from the firewall to the rear bulkhead to 180° and radiate buckets of heat even if the little heel protector mat is saving your right foot. Keep the tub from getting hot in the first place and you don't need to go crazy in the interior.

What kind of EGT's you seeing at the end of the main straight?

What size wheels/tire widths?
I'm planning on going this type of NA next year before heading into the boosted world. Should be a nice jump up from a 94 ECU controlled 97 motor. Need to know if I should order some 15x8s or 15x9s, haha. |
