That event turned out to be a little frustrating, to many cars that were not going to let a Miata pass them, even with me spending 5 laps right on their bumper. I remember seeing your car but I never made it over to check it out. Maybe the long course at BIR won't be so boring with a little more power. Hopefully I'll see you at DCTC, BIR, or RA in the spring. I'm looking forward to seeing what you decide on. My current plan is a Flyin' Miata Voodoo II with lots of cooling bits, but that could change as I think about it over the winter. I'm considering a turbo setup for this spring as well. I was driving a fairly stock white '94 Miata. What has worked for people and what hasn’t? I know the LS1 would be great but out of our budget range.Ĥshadesofblue: I think I saw you at the SCCA PDX at DCTC this fall. 120WHP this year, 200WHP next year( if we have the budget next year)ģ: Turbo the 1.6 short noise(which has 80,000 miles) and get to 180whp. The thought being with a 1.8 we could run less boost, so less heat and the issues that come with it. I am guessing we would be at 150WHP, is that a good guess?Ģ: Install 94-97 motor, Stand alone ecu and prep for a turbo next year. These are the options we are looking atġ: 99 motor, Standalone ECU(megasquirt), intake and exhaust. We have about $4000 to work with this year. The original plan was to install a 99 motor, Standalone ECU, intake and exhaust. Having a reliable car that can take up to 50 mins of track time is very important to me. The car is mainly used for lapping days and HPDE’s by two drivers. My home track BIR has some has a pretty long fast straights, and I would also like to start going to Road America which as 3 long straights. I have come up with those numbers based on other cars power to weight ratios, and just wanted to keep up with the rest of the pack and having some fun mixing it up with faster cars. I am thinking of power goals of 180-200WHP. This past year I have worked on getting the suspension sorted out, and I am now running 700f and 350r springs with Hoosier 205/50/15 SM6’s. The car is mainly being built for a track car but I still enjoy driving it on the street. I am looking to increase the HP of my 1990 1.6 Miata.
