mx52nv,
New setup is the bastard with a Nissan heart.
S13 SR20det with Nissan gearbox and Rx7 SIV diff.
Motor is stock bar the dry sump until it is engineered but I have forgies, rods, turbo and a few other bits to go on once it is engineered, registered and the suspension sorted.

12.9 on street tyres...not too shabby. My old NA could only muster a 13 flat. I tried quicker, but would only end up blowing diffs.....it had:

Wiseco pistons
Carillo H beam rods
Balanced Crank
Ported head
Up-spec valve springs (cant actually remember what it used)
Bosch 440cc injectors
Genuine SP manifold, turbo and dump-pipe
2.5" Custom exhaust
Mania CAI (Yes, we did it with turbo)
Wolf 3D ECU

Put out around 180rwkw. Will post pics and details of new car when I have time haha

New setup should make more power and heaps more torque.
WOAH!!! 12.9 second quarter mile on street tyres :shock:
Very nice :mrgreen:
What is the new set up may I ask? :)


I did that time slip when I used to own it. that was before I got the new dump pioe made up and before I got some street slicks for it. Was running worn 195's and managed a best 60ft of 2.1 on that run due to wheelspin. Man I miss that car.

Jake, How long till its on the road with the new setup?

there no point in posting a pic 'cause it aint that different or interesting( and i dont know how :oops: )

but

bought the 99NB ( bright red as factory standard performance addition :lol: )at 16k on the clock...put about 10 k on it over the 6 mths ive had it...a daily driver , not a trackstar.
it has had a jrsc45 since day 1. lowered with standard shocks. simmons 16inch wheels( noiice!). factory everthing inc body kit and bliggy interiorwith timber and chrome. hard top.
all fully engineered

ive added
adaptronic ecu.
380 cc injectors
full 2.25 stainless exhaust inc xforce heat wrapped headers and high flow cat.
front and rear signature sways
fm butterfly brace( a very good thing!)
torque box twin hoop roll bar.

mania tuned to an alleged 132 rwkw with 380( or perhaps i misheard...280) nm

interested to add
front and rear shock tower braces...front is a little complicated due to room
more psi...it only does 5 psi ....( too much is never enough)
more underhood cooling....intercool or hopefully just upgrade radiater
better than the currently standard brake pads
maybe new seats( why not!)
and maybe a sub woofer for the ubiquitous heavy reggae bass.

suggestions re adds/ suggested adds are invited...but i will probably ask specific ? in a new post

ENJOY

very very old AVO stage 1 kit, mated to an mx5 factory CAI.
not using the electronics from the avo kit , instead running 460cc rx7 injectors and a jaycar DFA.
custom made mandrel bend 2.5inch exhaust by unique exhausts.
cooling pro radiator.
running a very mild, low boost tune atm, only 118rwkw but still heaps of fun to drive.
probably will be updating parts of this set up soon, stay tuned.

there aren't as many Forumites with superchargers as there are turbos, but here's an SC install that's happening this weekend:

Here's my S/C instal on a '90 Import. The system used to be fitted to Sabatours car

I've heard comments that these JR kits are only for old blokes who want to save changing gear on the motorway, I'll take any of these doubters for a ride and let them see for themselves. The HP figs are not corrected for sea level, so could be about another 10 RWHP

Needs more intercooler. :D Plenty of room for a cooler with a hot side.

I really like the colour matched valve cover. Looks great in blue.
MX5 Wanted. SE or NC (forced induction preferred :twisted: )
