Turbo Miata, How Fast? (Trap Speeds)
Hey guys.
You bastards make me want a miata, worse than before. Id want to build something simple around 200whp. Im curious what type of performance I could expect from a 200whp turbo miata. I know alot will depend on turbo selection due to its influence on power band. So obviously Im not looking for an exact answer. Just your personal experience.
Id like to know what type of 1/4 mile trap speeds you would expect to see from a 200whp, street trim NA miata?
Also if your personal car has more or less hp, I wouldnt mind knowing your trap speed and info on your setup.

Seriously though the only subarus I have experience with are the old slow as **** ones.
Normally run around with a slightly more domestic crowd, a lil experience with miatas and some hondas and toyotas here and there.
I ran a 230whp subaru wrx one time, thing was quick for what it was, he said he had drug higher hp wrx, because most owners just up the boost first and he said they are faster if you do intake exhaust mods first, even though they will dyno a lil lower. Dont know how right he was. Hung pretty well with a 300hp tC though.

Go put one of those triple the diffs, twice as many CVs, and half a dozen times as much rotating mass, 305 flywheel HP cars on a dyno and find out.
My NA6 is completely stripped (not even any windows, except windscreen) and has 275 degree cams, 10.5:1 compression, 6 speed, 4.1 torsen, E85, COPS, etc etc.
Yes it does beat wrxs.

Edit: Stock bugeyes WRXs were rated with 227hp at the flywheel. That's between 150 and 170hp at the ground. So they could have as much as 18 lb/hp.

I ran my car last weekend and trapped 101mph. No idea what it's making at the wheels but based on weight & trap a few online HP calculators suggest somewhere in the 170whp area. 12psi on a big 16g with conservative timing.
A few weeks prior I ran my friend with a basically stock Evo8 (had 272 cams, nothing else) from a 25mph roll and had him by a car at 90. Arguably the cams hurt him down low. This was on a couple more pounds of boost, before my clutch started looking at early retirement.

Nitrodann I hate to break this to you, but I highly doubt your n/a miata beating wrx's story, unless they are some poorly running tired cars driven terribly. There is no way an n/a miata, regardless of bolt ons, will be beating a properly running, well driven wrx.
at 200whp a miata is quick, not fast. its quick enough to take down your average wrx and possibly bone stock sti. a wrx with sti bolt on goodies and a stage2 sti both will trap in the 106-110 range easy and you'll need about 240whp to take those down in a miata.

Just saying Ive seen cars that according to hp/weight should win, get walked big time.
