Turbo'd eunos?

[twailbait]

Having dirty thoughts in my head recently about bolting a turbo onto the mx5.
Contemplating whether or not it is a good idea.

A few options out there at the moment.
I can get a so called full bolt on hks t25 kit, everything i need, for in an around 1400, second hand. Comes with T25, mani, downpipe, 5th injector, some kind of piggyback management.

Or i can try compile the stuff together myself?Ebay has everything you need, i just dont understand how the management and fueling is supposed to be done!

Any help or idea's. Only want to run low psi, 6ish??

Wouldn't buy the turbo itself off ebay, but i'd get all the other parts.

What i dont understand is, say i get a turbo, mani, downpipe, boost controller.
Then i could fit bigger injectors to cope, but how do i manage the fuel and shit?!

why would you get a boost controller? never mind that, a t25 jobby that youl be getting would be grand boostin away at what it wants i reckon!

ull need a bigger fuel pump anyways, thats a start. bigger injectors will need some form of mappable ecu/piggyback chip on standard ecu to work at all. also with the bigger injectors and more flow, you may need an uprated fuel pressure regulater, so that when ur ecus been told to give more go go juice, and ur pump can pump it, the regulater will actualy let it do it!

or something.

Remember reading a thread on DW about this, have a search on there Tim!

I'd go for the "bolt on, everything you need for 1400" kit.. that way you know you have everything and it SHOULD work, you wont save much money "compiling stuff together" then trying to get it to work!

Get a boost guage and shity boost controller too just to be safe!

cooper s supercharger,either larger injectors or 5th injector, fmic, ecu mods job done!ask joe if he can map a standard eunos ecu if he can you could flash the standard ecu and have a nice safe system. There was an issue of banzai i think a while ago with a load of supercharged mx5s in it ill try dig it out at the weekend.

i see trouble up ahead!! ahhh ahah nah it would be cool!! wonder what the power increase would be!!

Awful awful ideas to do this have been going through my head recently. I scraped the idea of sr20ing it! Too muc effort!

So a simple low boost turbo set up is on the cards. 5-7psi.

should make it move that little bit better.

Am I mad to bother???

[PeterT]

just fucking do it. The amount of them around turbos means they must be easy as feck to do.

do it fast, or your an.....ass.
