NitroDann's Long Awaited Garage Thread

Postby **NitroDann** » Thu Apr 04, 2013 11:21 pm

I got some advice from a B series expert and did the work alongside a local builder who has a LOT of race engine experience and with a flowbench.

However on this engine which will for now be run as a stock engine, with just intake and exhaust I imagine the cams will be the bottleneck and therefor the ports wont really help much in this stock configuration, Ive been wrong before though.

It can be a bit of a dark art from what i've read too.... like if you open it up but the cams arent big enough the velocity of your gas is less than ideal... bit i know a lot of Dads ports... particularly with rotaries are much more about the shape to get the gas moving fast.

Which is a lot of why I kept it tame.

Yeah i just sorta started having a bit more of a browse and found some stuff i could jam my 2 cents in.

I'm Chris, Daniel's 21 y.o. son

...I am by no means an expert in this stuff just constantly peeked over Dad's shoulder since i was like 4 and I developed my own interest and read up on stuff and then talk about it with Dad and ask questions, and I am always fascinated with physics... so the physics of motorsport is extremely interesting... It's nice to have an interest to escape from the dry studies of a commerce/law double degree haha.

pats first ever time at the strip, only got 3 runs in.

99mph first run, he dropped the clutch at 2000rpm not knowing he could leave the line whenever he wanted. Then smashed the 1st 2nd 3rd rev limiters and missed a shift.

2nd run 105mph, bogged it smashed the limiters and missed another shift.

3rd run went good but the timeslip says it ran a high 11 at 120mph so not sure if thats right or not?

Video of second run.

But, you know you still owe him a 10 second car right? :lol:

Love seeing the 5 at the drag strip!!

Do you know when he will get to Wakefield?

Was good to watch him reel that big V8 in haha.

high 11 at 120 seems quick ET wise unless he REALLY nailed the launch and shifts, either way, high 11 is moving, not many B series powered MX5s can make that claim, 120MPH is moving too, so if either or both are right he's really going well.

For reference I ran 120+ MPH a few times and never cracked into 11s with 60 footers of 1.6 to 1.8 region. I'm not 100% sure, but from memory I ran those on a 2871R and was at the pointy end of genuine street MX5s, assuming you're still on the 2560 he's driving the wheels off it!

This GT2560 is making 325WHP and may i remind you of the power curve..

Im gonna put some sneak peaks of Lokiels SE up now :twisted:

Lots and Lots and Lots of porting. Did I mention hours of porting?

Kind of stealthy install?

Its pretty tucked up and very low mountedm it cannot be mounted and lower or more tucked against the block, its impossible.

What do you all reckon? Hopefully will make over 400whp, and AC and PS compatible, and pretty hard to pick with the covers on and with the engine bay assembled.

Hold on, isn't that the graph you conceded was an unfinished tune that you've since cleaned up and lost a few hp? :oops:

Regardless - He's still driving the wheels off that thing if he posted those MPH and times. :twisted:

The SE fitment is stealth, just the way I like them - Please tell me the factory heat sheild fits over it - That'd make it as near to perfect as any I've seen.

Postby **NitroDann** » Thu Apr 25, 2013 7:18 pm

No it never lost a few HP.

There were like 50 runs done that day, or more. The 325hp run was on the 3rd or 4th last run, On a part of the map that WASNT where it made 325hp it was cleaned up and gained power, on the part of the map which was cleaned up.

However doing 3-4 runs at 320+whp on a 250whp turbo obviously heated it up a lot and on those runs, despite the tune AT PEAK HP not having changed AT ALL, it made 98.8% as much power Here is an example run.
