I think it looks pretty bad ass without the headlights too

Kinda odd that i would ever use 'badass' to describe a miata, but yours is deserving of the title

:shock:

Stop spending money on that damned car and buy some socks!

Nice motor. Iwas going to say that a friend in the UK has a 99 AE MX5 just like yours, but his is stock. 500hp is going to be madder than a box of frogs.

that's gonna be one tail happy little bitch don't you think?
I just have this feeling something is going to break with all that power.

Since the Miata weighs about as much as a Macca F1, a 600 hp one should be as fast as a Macca, at least up until 250 km/h. It's weird that you're making a dragster out of an agile roadster. :shock:

PaulGT2164 · 07-14-2005, 11:21 PM

haha yeah i know, its a agile car, i can always turn down the boost a bit, and with the new rubber and the already upgraded suspension, it should still be kinda agile. i was like, only running 15psi is a waste of this motor (i built it to handle 30psi) so i might as well see what it can do.

i have already anticpated everything thats gonna break and have parts on the way
the tranny/lsd/clutch is the weak points, and thats being addressed so it should be bulletproof, and the TEC3R is a awesome standalone EMS so i can have traction control, launch limiters, to stage rev limiters, etc etc

Whoa, niiiiice car. I really love Miata's and it was the first Roadster I had a pleasure to drive

I'd love to buy one just for kicks, but I'm waiting for the NC model to come out in order for the NB (the one you have) version to go down in price as a discontinued model.

Do you post on miata.net? A 600rwhp Miata is a 'monster' for sure, but is the tranny stock? I've read that a stock Miata tranny is only good for 250hp or so... Let's hope it holds up ok, coz at ~600hp, you're really pulling the last bit of power from that engine, and it might blow a gasket or crack a piston :shock:

p.s. are you gonna add a wing to increase downforce at speed? Probably might need it...

the stock 6 speed and LSD are good to 350hp or so, but as i stated in the posts i am going with a mazda rx-7 turbo 2 tranny and a guru LSD

the engine is built for 30psi, as i stated earlier (did you read my posts?) I am running Wiseco Forged 9:1 compression pistons and pauter rods, and everything is held down with ARP fasteners. The heads were also treated to a full race port and polish with 1mm oversized valves. The head that is on the car was actually going to be used on flyin' miatas shop race car, but then i aquired it.

I dont post on miata.net anymore, because all the people there are whiney, biased, hateful little people. they basically have no respect for someone trying to venture into uncharted territory and do something out of the norm. They also made me mad when i sold my old stuff cause they were offering me like a thousand bucks under what it is all worth and bashing me cause i wanted more than they wanted to pay (it was sold any way to a guy who was very happy with what he got for his money spent) not everyone on the forum is bad, but the majority of the people there just pissed me off with their snide comments and constant "your stupid for trying this" or "what a waste" etc etc. oh well the people there that say those things can just keep being slow.

i wont be adding a wing, i dont like wings. the miata doesnt start to have actual lift till about 150-160mph so i should be ok

i dunno know about the new new ones, but the 94-99 has the best flowing heads of all the miatas, and the iron block can hold alot of boost. The stock internals on a 94-99 miata can handle 12-15psi boost with ease, and thats enought for about 220 HP or so properly tuned

Shinigami · 07-15-2005, 07:30 AM

Had I not read your post, I don't think I'd be responding to your message... I did read the part about 30psi of boost, and I also read about you redoing major portions of the engine in order to take this kind of a beating, but are you actually replacing the current tranny with something else, or just using the existing one with stronger bits and pieces?

Concerning miata.net, I guess the audience has changed somewhat. I remember the 'general' audience inside used to be much cooler several years ago, but nowadays has a few more whiners then before.

I just attribute that to the success of the internet. More people, unaware of proper netiquette, come along and generally act unpleasant. However, I do find that there are quite a lot of very knowledgeable people in there too...

there's more to it than just power and weight...tire size, gear ratios, drag, tire grip may also be an issue lol

You want to say that again for good measure paulgt?

PaulGT2164 · 07-15-2005, 10:12 PM

glad im not the only one who noticed

PaulGT2164 · 07-15-2005, 10:18 PM

"nd I also read about you redoing major portions of the engine"

this is already done, the car will be operational buy next sunday.

PaulGT2164 · 08-03-2005, 08:02 PM

More miata parts yay!

Vishnu High Flow Fuel Rail, much much better than stock, and looks quite the part as well

AEM Uego Wideband O2 sensor and controller, this will help out drastically when its time to tune, and its looks nice as well, and i got a good deal on it!

Titanium Valve Springs and Retainers, these will allow me to raise the redline to 9200rpms

should be fun.

I mounted the TEC3R EMS in the glove box for easy access when tuning with the laptop, when i install the Ignition and Fuel advance/retard knobs, they will go in here as well, and prolly a switch for valet mode

Hrmm wiring...alarm wiring, EMS wiring, stock wiring, stereo wiring..guage wiring..when will it ever end!

anyhows ill update some more later,
happy motoring
