Well its finally time for the turbo to go on "Thunder." I'm doing quite a bit to deal with the heat both in the engine compartment and the rest of the car. Basically the new setup goes like this:
BEGi 3071 twin scroll turbo kit
Tial 38mm wastegate
Lots of DEI Gold foil heat shielding
3" stainless exhaust/DP all wrapped in DEI Header Wrap
Hydra Nemesis ECU with wideband
Springfield Dyno triple pass radiator
Synapse BOV
Begi short runner intake manifold
Flyin Miata Fuel rail
Flyin Miata cam gear
RC 750 injectors
Integral Cams billet steel custom ground turbo cams
16x8 Time Attacks with 245-45-16 Toyo R888's
Race On USA fender flares
ATI engine damper
Bethania Garage DOM roll cage
Ultra Shield Race seat with Halo
Cool Shirt Clubman driver cooling system
Main Engine Harness tuck
Lots of custom CCR goodness as well
It should be done probably next week and ready to head to Top Speed for its final tune and official dyno numbers. I'll be happy with anything north of 360whp but I'm hoping to break 400 on pump. Its first outing is the NASA RA event in March to see what it can do. Then I'm sure we'll have to change the rear end ratio if not the whole rear end since I'm sure it will run out of gear on the back straight which is only about 140mph. Here's some pics of the setup as its going together.
