Post your turbo / supercharged setup

I've just finished installing a DIY Bullet Cars Kit on my 2002 MX5
Comes with a 30-84 Rotrex Supercharger
Supercharger Drive Oil
Oil lines, Oil cooler
Mounting Brackets
Belt and Tensioner.
I also put on an Inter-cooler
New Air intake Sensor just before the throttle body
Modified Racing Beat Performance Intake
Shock Tower Brace Mounting Bracket
No Pro Washer Bottle
Twin Core Aluminum Radiator 42mm
Mishimoto slim-line Radiator Fans and Cowling
Modified NRG Innovations MX5 Diversion Panel
Cobalt - Stainless Steel Engine Shield
Adaptronic Select ECU
Innovate LC-1 Kit
I made an inlet Restrictor to limit the boost until I get the 'H' beam rods and forged pistons installed - runs at 6lb
Also have a heavy duty clutch and a SMB exhaust to go on

Looks great Jaxom, love that IC setup.

Looks great Jaxom, love that IC setup.

Good numbers from low boost too.
Showing the non believers that SC is still a perfectly sensible option

How much torque at 3500rpm?

Or power if you prefer.

Interesting dyno sheet that one... max power is at 104kmh??? Was it dynoed in 3rd gear???

[NitroDann]

Rotrex' make max power AT redline so probably 2nd gear.

First time I've ever had a dyno done so I guess I didn't know what questions to ask.
It may have been 3rd or fourth in the 6 speed box.
The Kw's are at red line or close to it, but the torque max's at 88kmh.
This is a different type of graph to the ones I've seen usually posted.
The restrictor limits the boost, so maximum torque should be achieved earlier.
The intake air temp on the dyno was 2degrees above ambient, which was 27deg. I am happy with that because I have the oil cooler in front of the inter-cooler. That might account for the 'good numbers'
When driving "normally" you can feel the power build with rev's. If you hoof it there is a big rush around 4k rpm to redline, not a big turbo foot in the chest, but satisfying all the same.
Will be interesting at 1.0bar seeing it is just under 0.5 now
It's fairly easy to break traction in a straight line now, even with the torsen 2, but then I'm still using the adrenalin's I over cooked at a track day last year.
I'm happy with the outcome, it was an exercise to keep the skills up and learn about modern engine management.

It looks nice, with rotrexs in the states they are doing all sorts of funny things with them, from 5500rpm redline so they can have torque to turboing to get them bottom end to restrictors like yours.

I bet its fun on the street! makes you want to rev it all day long like a stock one.

Hi

I recently fitted a FFS supercharger
10psi and 170rwhp
adjustable coilover suspension
whiteline swaybar
Toyo R888 tyres
has taken 6 seconds off my usual track time, SO happy with the guys at FFS so helpfull and I only have to change the crank pulley to take it up to 16psi and 260rwhp ... But not going to do that as it is awesome as it is.

Awesome! I'll have to come say hi and a bit of a sticky beak at the next club event we're both at. I'd love to go for a bit of a drive (passenger or otherwise!) in a FFS car so I can assess whether it's for me.

Hi all,

I just thought I might post my setup for any who may be interested. This is my former daily come track toy which I have owned for several years. Over the years I have tinkered somewhat and it slowly changed into what is it today. Here is an image of the engine bay, it is basically a 1.8 with rods and pistons, a little light cleaning up of the ports, stock exhaust cam, inlet has exintake mod, a garret GT2871R with tial 0.64 v band rear housing for response and tial MVR 44mm wastegate. The turbo is low mounted on a steampipe manifold made by myself with full 3" exhaust from turbo to tip. Just running on 98 pump fuel.

It was making about 170rwkw/230rwhp on 12psi already and I had it retuned last week so it is now putting out 235rwkw/315rwhp at 18psi and is a hell of a lot of fun to drive with massive torque and awesome instant response! I don't currently have any plans to up the power as it is already around the level where gearbox and diff are said to start being an issue however I do believe there is a fair bit more in the setup if desired as we still haven't played with cams or cam timing and it should take more boost fine too.

Dyno attached below, I think the few lower lines are just from earlier runs as the tune was playing around with boost control etc.

Well done, good to see more big boost Aussie cars! got any good manifold pics?

Dann

[MrRevhead]

Very nice setup there Tim, making awesome power and a very clean, well presented engine bay!
