What a shame they don't seem to mention PSI or power levels, let alone a dyno graph!

or whether there is still warranty :roll:

They are still building /adding to the site at the moment (and testing those kits). The guy that runs the show seems pretty good. If the NB kit is 200hp with the MP62 then this one would have to be 230hp at flywheel at least even with the same boost and level of electronics, but the power / torque curve would be different. The vortech isn't as good as the eaton but one big advantage, it does fit in there (JUST by the look of it). They are selling the NB kits about as fast as they can make em at the moment...

Uh Oh!!! Hope it was okay to post that piccy Brant :shock:

I'd hope that we would allow you to answer questions here, its not like your placing advertisements on the product, just providing information on it

Some may think it is, but you are asnwering actual questions asked by people on here, and you would be the only one who could give the actual answers rather than just speculation so I'd say go ahead!

Brant

Are you based in Australia?

Is the cost in US or AU?

Bein a "Miata supercharger market leader", when will a supercharger kit be available for an NA6?

These guys are in the States - Looks good

I'd like some further details too!
If this supercharger does work well, and produces prodigious horsepower - that folding roof NC will look very tempting to me.

Good to see you on board Brant, I've heard nothing but good things from the guys at BRPerformance, I have a turbo mx5 at the moment but an MP62 from BR is definetly on the cards.....a 250hp R4 kit maybe.....are you lookin for an aussie test mule :mrgreen:

A twin screw will make less heat than a roots.

Keep an eye out and see if Flyin Miata release the ubercharger (lets hope the next version is hotside!)

Thanks for your responce and help Joe.

Unfortunately the dyno comparison BRP uses between it and the FlyinMiata setup is fundamentally flawed as the BRP uses Jackson racing headers and Flyinmiata have tested theirs on a stock setup. :roll:

So after reading all that, as an employee of BRP would you be happy with the following statement â€¦

If you are looking for 150 RWkw or less on 92 octane on a stock engine then the BRP is better (about the same power as a stage 3 AVO kit)

But around 180 RWkw both the BRP and Ubercharger are on par.

If you want to build your engine to run boost then an Ubercharger gives more scalability and out performs the eaton roots supercharger.

i hope this doesn't turn into a slapfest like the thread on the big forum, as i'm interested to learn more on this centrifugal blower, arguing between brands is pointless IMHO, getting the facts on each one is more important..........keep it comin' Joe............. :mrgreen:

Joe R wrote:...They also use a different dyno that bolts directly wheel hubs meaning there is less of a loss from the engine to the dyno. We use a dynojet where the wheels stay on the car. It's been tried and tested that heavier wheels cause a loss in horse power, so imagine the difference if there were no wheels at all....

c'mon don't take us for idiots! :roll:

Admittedly their dyno is more accurate in the fact that you take out variables like wheel weight, how the car is tied down, tyre pressure, wheel spin etc.

But it's all in the calibration; didn't one of the BRP guys try and justify their dyno comparison by stating that the Flyin Miata dyno had been calibrated to produce similar results to a dynajet?

Are you saying the JR headers have more restriction than stock headers? And will make less power than stock headers :shock:

BRP still sells JR headers right?
