Timing belts are cog belts and they do just fine at all revs with valvetrain load. And shock. And rapid acceleration.

Still, the motor in the photo is clearly a brushless 3-phase AC motor.
It could be brushless DC. But i don't know much about those, i think some have 3 leads for the 3 / 6 commutators. |

Why is it using such thick gauge wire? An AC 3 phase motor of that size would typically be no greater than 5hp. It's probably drawing 5 FLA. These motors typically ouput a low torque at a slow shaft speed, so that seems pretty useless.

It's hard to judge the size of that motor given the context, but it looks like it might be a Curtis AC50. Here's the spec sheet for that motor: https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...05a4965e02.png It makes a respectable amount of torque at 0 RPM, and delivers peak HP at what is probably the point where the engine is running out of airflow. https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...203663b073.png |
I see. What a unique application.
I'd assume just hook a couple of them to the drivetrain. https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...cd9b7b419b.jpg |

I'm pretty sure the main function of that motor is providing low rpm torque to help the engine climb to its powerband..
I struggle to see any other explanation for the cog belt setup. That belt would be unpleasant under load at high rpm. Or, I could be wrong. Edit before I am publicly humiliated: I guess I am wrong. Timing belts are cog belts and they do just fine at all revs with valvetrain load. And shock. And rapid acceleration. So there. My phone takes shitty pictures, but I won $75 in a costume contest today. https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...d0f428c30d.jpg |

what am I focusing on? the unnecessary splitter support?
|
???
I'm pretty sure splitter supports have been 'cool' for a while. |
In unrelated news, I usually go to a nearby pastry shop for breakfast.
And, I share my food with the less fortunate. https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...c4331b20d.jpeg |

Speaking of just seen on facebook - another Miata swap kit:

Intercooler from a 2016 Focus RS that a buddy let me have. Test fit on Saturday but it looks like a good fit from my initial measurements.

definitely looks like it will fit the mouth perfectly
