Jokes aside, let's do that sometime. I'd like to put BRG back to back with the race car and the turbos. I need to know HOW much I want want to swap the blower for a snail. I might be able to organise a dyno at the right price.

Sounds good - let us know when and where.....

That would be a great idea as the last two club dyno days have been at Mercury Motorsport....This would allow a fair comparison with the MX-5's that have already been on Mercury's dyno.

Whats it gonna cost me for my 1.8 ?

And yes... how long is a piece of string ?

I WANT BOOOOOOST !

(p.s. China sux)


Piece of string? Usually it's twice the length from the centre to one end.

Turbo kit for 1.8 - around $4500 for an AVO kit?

I'm keen Cal! I was going to see if I could get down and dyno straight after UA. Are you up for a Tuesday morning?

I have also booked the engineering inspection. Fingers crossed I should be insured and blue plated next week. 8)

And Sabre, I didn't go into their groupy. I didn't want something that squirted any better than what it already does. :shock: I know their rates are cheap, but i'll keep my $15 thanks. :lol:

Is that overstepping the mark? :mrgreen:
