Re: billybunters - from a bmw z4 to a mx5 se
nothing too big on the scale. ecu - injectors and exhaust plus the tune
and maybe another trip to the centre to do a 7500 top gear pull....lol

Re: billybunters - from a bmw z4 to a mx5 se
I've been thinking it over for a day or more so today i shot off another email to nitro Dann. To cut a long story short if I can sell one of my motorbikes as I can't ride two - I might try a 260 rwhp or even a hit at 300.
I am curious to see what it would be like compared to my current 190 which I think is pretty powerful anyway. So if I can get a bike sale I think I will go all out - if not its a computer/injectors and exhaust only.
Time will tell on this idea
but all I want to know if you care to chime in -will that kind of power push you back into the seat!

Re: billybunters - from a bmw z4 to a mx5 se
Mine is at 300 thanks to Dann. Very drivable but when you plant the right foot hang on.
There is a definite push into the seat.
It's addictive and so much fun.
My 2 cents worth is that if your going to spend money and your already thinking about 300, then wait until you've got the money to do it, otherwise you'll be redoing it again and spending more once you get bored. You won't regret it.

Re: billybunters - from a bmw z4 to a mx5 se
If I could afford it, I would want to build the engine and plonk a Borg Warner EFR 6258 off the side, and shoot for a solid 300rwhp. That's my dream, but it's a ways off just yet.
What turbo are you looking at? Other engine mods?
If all it takes is the sale of a bike then go for it. It will make that unrestriced top gear run all the better, I'd love to know what the VMAX ends up being.

Re: billybunters - from a bmw z4 to a mx5 se
well the bike in question is a royal enfield limited edition dispatch in battle green but it wouldn't appeal to you young guys
when you look at the photos. but it is a numbered bike with 200 units world wide. but I plan to keep my blue bike

Photo isn't working 
Personally, I like older bikes. I can't ride though, and probably never should. But if I were to get one, it wouldn't be a modern monster, it'd be something classic.

Re: billybunters - from a bmw z4 to a mx5 se
I will reduce the size and try again. both are nice bikes and only 3 months old. but I don't need 2 and it was more an impulse buy.

Re: billybunters - from a bmw z4 to a mx5 se
decision time!
nitrodann will supply almost all of the parts and the work
lokiel -supplied the injectors
myself - nothing! just told by my son to get the mods done with a new gtx turbo
so that's it in total
