Trackspeed build plan

So I am going to order this exhaust plus a test pipe unless someone can point me in a cheaper direction in the PDX area. These guys seem to have a decent rep.
Racer, miata exhaust, performance

thats a good deal.
but the "big" maggie is still best
last 6258 made 330 without breaking a sweat. doubt its tapped out past 250
don't limit yourself with injectors. it's just wasting money if you built the engine. ID1000 if you want more than 250whp
you either do it right and forget a "budget", or you stay under 250 and your "budget" will be way easier to meet.

FF640s + Fuelab FPR is almost identical to the cost of ID1000s, and the FF640s+FPR option will idle a big fuel pump better anyway.
I honestly think a V8 or K swap might have made more sense. Especially since I could probably have sold my 94 1.8 engine off pretty easily.
Or buy a used S2000/ Vette
Anyway, my $0.02. You're on the right track. Definitely don't skip the 3" exhaust.

Hmmm, guess I was a little rich. 11.4 AFR. But nothing crazy.
Maybe my car is just weird. Idk. but nothing is broken. When I went back last month with a 60psi base pressure I only had 60% DC

Base pressure is actually 56ish according to my fuel pressure sensor.
68psi at 14psi of boost. Not exactly 1:1, but close.
Quarter mile times like up to 220hpish also. Who knows. Its just my data.
But back to farpole's plan.
Get your MS3 installed, there are a lot of locals around here who can help tune, but getting it up and running works great.
How much track experience do you have? Might make more sense to get suspension, brakes, and experience first.

There is a BMW club day at PIR this coming thursday. You should come out and get some rides.

Also interested in this thread as I'm about to pull the trigger on a turbo setup similar to this, though I plan to make it a track bitch. 220whp until I get an engine built. Waiting for Sav to email me back
Question to the informed - what can I expect to be different about my 02 engine with flat top intake vs OP's NA8?
