Rotrex with CVT
#4
Hello,
I am in Ohio.
I put the Kraftwerks base kit in. I have a LS 2002. I put 550cc injectors, removed the restrictor, IC and engine management. I have 234WHP now. I am disappointed. I think the CVT (Rotrak maybe is one outfit) would be the ticket for more torque down low. Yes, I am over there at mt.net. There is not much info or interest on CVT over there.

I think I would disagree with your assessment that there is little interest in a CVT Rotrex; my assessment is there is lots of pentup interest, just little to get interested in.
where in Ohio are you, I live in Tenn, but am working on long-term project in southern Ohio; I dont find as much miata activity in Ohio as I do in TN, but continue looking

A rotrex with a CVT is called a turbo. Now that the various track-duty issues have been solved, with Inconel studs and Vbands and wired nuts and whatever, I cannot see how a CVT rotrex is going to be simpler/less complicated than a turbo. A turbo with a wastegate has a CVT.

I do agree with you on the complexity that will accompany a CVT-Rotrex
[what to do with the surplus air quietly when not in boost just being one]
been a while since I have been on the board, and I see I should update my profile
The Rotrex (C30-74, and related A/W intercooler) is in a box headed across the Atlantic to it's new owner in France.
When removed, the JR header, Cobalt cat-delete midpipe and Borla dual is headed to it's new owner in Florida.
My 94M is headed to Spring Branch, TX late next week for a BEGi "S-4" (GT 2860 RS, S/S SGDP, 3" dual; and yes, Inconel studs).
Stephanie says the install should be complete about Halloween, all the better to scare the pants off any lovely lady who might dare occupy the passenger seat that night.
Boo!
LOL
