It's also a lot of grip. 300 hp is PLENTY to make good use of that.

 

Mine didn't last a year

 

I run more boost when mot doing NASA TT. For autocross I simply have more peak torque than traction in second gear even with 275 A6.

Too much feels about right to me.

 

Unless you're doing the texas mile or something, the moar grip is going to win every time. Besides, being a dedicated autoxer, what do you care about drag

 

So have you broken one at under 300 ft/lb or not?

 

I dont care about drag, which is why I never even considered anything besides the 275s.

 

yes I make right at 300 ft-lbs or a little under at the low boost setting. broke 4th gear in 3 of them including a Mazdaspeed box on track.

 

You can't tell if DynaPac numbers are legit unless the Sidebar is posted as part of the pic. You can show Axle Power or estimated flywheel power. On the sidebar the "AxlePOW" and "Power" numbers will be the same if the operator is showing you legit numbers. If they are different you will know that the operator has added in some form of "correction" factor to fudge up the numbers.

One of the easiest dynos to manipulate.....but the most easy to spot the manipulation of you have the whole dyno sheet.

 

I'm going back to Evans Tuning on Thursday morning on the way to Watkins Glen for some additional partial throttle tuning. When I get there, I'll ask him if he "added in some form of "correction" factor to fudge up the numbers"………..

 

I wouldn't ask him that. I would just ask for the whole Dyno plot including the sidebar. Then you can tell for yourself.

 

I'll tell him you asked……...

 

No need to do that either. I could honestly care less. I was just trying to help you out....you can take the advice or not.

 

You're a sensitive little bunny rabbit aren't you

 

No. Actually quite the opposite.

 

You'll do just fine here, sir

 

Ok, here we go!

All packed up and on our way to Watkins Glen via Evans Tuning

For all of the lovers and haters out there, I hope to have answers to all questions later today.....

I'm happy so now lets see how she runs tomorrow on the race track

 

Just back from WGI - car ran great - did a 2.14.9 = nicely mid pack in Porsche instructor run group - probably leaving a solid 2s on the table with better braking at 1 and bus stop.

video to follow (at some point)

 

Sooooooo, after 3 years of hard slog and just when my black turbo is running like a champ, we have decided to move back home to the UK.

As a result, I am selling all of my miatas including the black turbo in order to go Caterham Lotus 7 racing when get home



If you have been following this thread, you know this is a no expense spared, high quality build which started with a full caged SPEC MIATA and finished with a 300 rwHP Monster with 275 hoosiers and front / rear aero. This car was quicker that a new Porsche Turbo around Pocono and killed most porsches in the red run instructor group at the mighty Watkins Glen

Good luck with the move back to the UK. Is shipping/importing the Miata to the UK not practical for some reason or just want to change platforms?
