yes but if he had smaller injectors that would only take you to a certain point.

More than 500whp is really not useable on a track with these cars. Im not building a top end straightliner.

I think 500-550whp is achievable with just 93 pump gas? Any reason you want to run e85? Is it easily accessible in your area? Can you give us more info on where you'll be placing the turbo? I love custom builds and curious to see where this will go :)

With Racelogic it works amazing. But I do see your point. I deleted my original comment about the injectors after I seen your post about buying them used. Makes sense.

I look forward to seeing pictures!

+rep I too love custom builds. The lack of them in this community is what is giving me the want to do it. We need more variety (:

And yes e85 is extremely available here. 8 stations in 15miles. Lower chance of predet, gobs more torque, and better timing.

Ha no worries dude. I know its overkill. I'm sure others are questioning too.Lol $600 for 6 id1000s + harness's was too good.

I'm really hoping ecuteks system will be able to assist with the traction control once it is developed.

Sub'd! I have a lot of respect for people that do custom work of this magnitude. Good luck brother! :)

Yes they peaked my interest, that is for sure.

I've cleaned this thread because I didn't like what was going on. Civil disagreements are fine, and even expected on technical discussions. If you have something PRODUCTIVE to say, terrific. Otherwise, move on. The next person who resorts to name calling might just get a vacation from the forum to cool off.

Uhhh...update?

I'll post some teaser pics later. I got a bit distracted when the exhaust and everything came and sorta stopped working on the wiring... Also I started summer classes so I don't have all day to work on it anymore

We have some little stuff like fuel pump upgrade is done, removed the window washer fluid tank, moved the power steering fluid tank and ran new hoses. Not much got done last weekend either as we had another Z stop by for some mods. Other than that though its been mostly just Boosted Mx5 doing some welding.


I added two picks. The one we were just testing turbo placement t and mounting and seeing what space and clearances we had. Its not in its final resting position but its close. Also this is with almost everything tucked now. Mind the hoses that's just temporary you won't see them when its done.
