Engine Build - Not sure if it will be NA or Turbo!

[daffyflyer]

Man, its a good feeling, we built an engine (and honestly we are pretty special in the head - russellb can tell you!) and it pulls well, and has not exploded yet... im happy

[Jeo]

What is the idea engine wise? Turbo im guessing?

Dunno, more of a see how it goes for the moment. Turbo would be nice but at the same time I'm fairly happy with how it is now. Spent a good while talking with Russ the other day about this that and everything, including looking into the legalities behind a turbo conversion.

Ok, Shock announcement -

I don't think im going turbo anymore - just had a good drive of the mx5 round some twisty roads and frankly all i want now is about 15kw more and sharp response/angry sound - not like 100kw more

im now thinking of just doing a few more N/A mods and leaving it at that, I know all you guys are going to say "noooo thats not good value for money" but i decided my heart was never really in going turbo, and in the end i want my car to make me happy, not be faster than everyone elses


So I think im back to the old plan of high comp and quads


Yep, it does mean pulling my motor apart again, but what the hell, its what i want to do and im aware im sick in the head

Also considering diy motorcycle based quad throttles - i value my car just as much as a project than as a finished object

Or perhaps not, im still not 100% sure yet, will think on this one and save money for whatever option i go for
