Hey Guys and Girls, Took my mx5 off the road for about a month to do a turbo conversion
Thought Id show you all what i've been busy doing.
At the moments, All that needs to be done is getting it engineered which is happening on Monday. So excited to get it back.
Got the car tuned and with a standard heavy duty clutch it made 171rwhp. They said it has a lot more potential, just need to change the clutch. Ill wait till it wears out before i do that though.

What I done to the car:
Begi manifold
Garrett GT2554R.. i think
720cc injectors
removed afm
front mount intercooler
aem wideband sensor
aem tru boost controller
custom exhaust system
custom cold air induction system with k&n enclosed box
Custom heat shielding
Tial Bov, not on the car yet.. waiting till its engineered haha
Wolf V500 ecu
Probably a lot more stuff i cant remember atm..

Some Pics..

Mate, that looks hot!

Love that colour too.

Digging the purple!! The Gt2554R is awesome too
This build reminds me of someone elses

Enjoy it!

Thanks guys
I did buy the main turbo parts from someone on the forum

Love the paint.

Nice job on the turbo too. Those are some HUGE injectors!

Yeah I thought that too. I bought 550cc ones, but they didn't fit. So the workshop said they can order some 720cc ones in. They said they're good and can be tuned own low. So I went for it

Picked up the car today from o2 autosports. Cars all finished now, besides the bov..
cars engineered though and goes really good.
Heres the final engine bay pics.. with the cold air induction and heat shielding etc..








Thoughts guys and girls?

ill take some videos off it soon

not bad not bad..

gestalts look good on the car too with a turbo u might actually get some wheel spin on chromies how many pound boost was it i didnt see if you wrote it or not

Yeah they look alright, but ill be ordering some work wheels soon. probably cr01s. haha it manages to smoke them up pretty easily. im only running 10psi atm. need a better clutch and actuator before i up the boost a bit

Love the paint job. Probably my favorite colour.
cheers novice1

Probably has 220rwhp in it at 15psi.

Looks neat. Lots of bling. A bit much for my taste.

Are u running 15psi on stock internals? Isnt that a bit too high?

Slim he's planning on upping the boost. I wouldn't be too scared to run 15psi on a stock na6 with all the supporting mods. My old na8 used to see 15-16psi for years without any issues. Just need a good tuner..

Isn't the weak spot the rods?
Which would bend due to torque??

Does boost psi really matter as long as you keep detonation in check?

The small restrictibe exhaust housing of a 2554 means it wont produce as much torque as a 3076 would at 15psi, so its safer. The PSI of boost means nothing. The torque it achieves does.
