Nice, how much did that set up cost? i'm interested in SC my 1.6, this is probably the best looking set up i've come across, any info on the set up? or where i can inquire about it?

Supa, I reckon you should PM orx626. He's supercharged his 1.8L MX5, and his general knowledge of mechanical engineering and MX5's is amazing. He's a good bloke and should be able to help you out.

Supa, PM'd you with mine and Danny's numbers. Danny = 0RX626 but he's still in Japan.

Danny fitted a JR to my 1.6. beautifully engineered and goes really well

On my 1.6 with M45 I get about 150 RWHP, compared to 85ish in standard trim. You certainly notice the difference :mrgreen:

Like I know it's going to be noticable, but HOW Noticable..

Hi Supa

Its definitely noticeable, getting up to speed on an onramp, overtaking etc are all very much easier than the old n/a 1.6 Its hard to convey just how noticeable it is in writing really. If you have the money to do it and enjoy your car then I definitely think it is money well spent. For me the only drawback is having a crappy idle and cold start at the moment (MSPNP currently managing everything), hopefully that will all change in the next few months though.
