Yes, buy a non VVT head, throw in huge cams, and a mspnp.

So in another basic mod package
say for an NA8...
intake + exhaust (extractors cat back hi flow cat) + adaptronic + 255 or 264 cams = 90-95rwkw?

would it be worth adding injectors to that?

See my thread ( actually posted by Administrator)under Dyno results.That sort of power is available and entirely tractable. I didn't change injectors.
Go for it!!

If no one got this yet, Im always looking at a way to perform mods and make some beer money, and Im thinking about what can be offered as cheap streetable packages I can offer from home.

So ive been thinking about this.

Anyways,
Injectors? No reason. They have plenty enough flow for basic N/A bolt ons.

NA8....
I mean, you really want to an ecu first, as without it all your other mods are limited.

But, intake, exhaust, all proper ones. Intake heatshields galore and sealed up properly.
Then cams, and a head shave, thats what I would do. maybe with a DFA.

Found the thread pcmx5 alludes to.
http://mx5cartalk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=43&t=23240&p=284154&hilit=pcmx5#p284154

Exactly what Ive been saying, Cams and an ecu :D

pcmx5; Can you please confirm everyone needs to get off the 'im scared of drivability' bandwagon ? :D It would be nice to get some support here :D:D

Dann . i can with a 6speed and 3.9 diff it has amazing tracability( but actually had that with the 5sp 4:1), pulls ok from 60 klph on the flat in 6th and will rev to 8000 rpm( not that you need to)

A few people on this forum , Johnd, Chrish . Fun mx and Sav have dríven it and have all said it is amazing, sorry if that sounds a bit up myself, but they said it!!

Just did a run down the GOR yesterday and it is truely a great drive,you can drive it like you knocked it off or like a grandma and it just rewards you every time.
They should have built them like this in my opinion!! However you do need someone who knows what they are doing with the ECU tuning !

I woldn't go much further then my spec for an everyday driver though.

This is exactly what Ive ben trying to convince everyone of.

Mine is the same.

Incredible power and drivability. The only thing is *you need a proper ECU*.

:mrgreen:

I hope this convinces some people

Stock injectors will be just fine for that I reckon.

Also I have intake, exhaust, adaptronic, tighe 805c cams and porting and that got me 101rwkw :)
