at 3-5psi on a 30R i will be making considerably more power than stock which will work fine.
I dont plan on doing auto-x because its not my scene. Go out to the big track and kicking it is the full plan.

If you mean drift faggoting around, sure you'll do that fine.  When you say "big track" I hope you don't think a non-linear and robust powerband in an NA chassis tin can is going to be remotely controllable, or in any way shape or form faster.  A good driver in a stock Miata will tear you up on a technical roadcourse... if the track has mile long straights like VIR the roles will be reversed, but you're going to be waving by a whole lot of cars you passed on the straights when the first curve comes.

He came out to a local autocross, got his ass handed to him by stock cars on snow tires (no I am not joking) and left verrry pissed off according to some prominent locals.


matt even on a track Rob Switzers 1.8L na would ass rape you on a track , and Bill Rogerson would make you his GF with his measly 12psi  FM kit.

you aren't about "tearing up the track"  you are about sicck drifiting, and thereis a biggg difference. Nothing wrong with it , but this has already happened where the stockers put the hurt on you.


Auto cross isn't drag racing where all tracks are the same length.  Yes, elevation and track conditions vary, but autocross is all of that plus a completely different configuration track.  In a very small, tight, parking lot auto cross setup, a closer to stock car could beat the piss out of a 200+whp car.  I don't consider one car better than another.  One is just better suited for the track that day.  3 weeks later on a different track, the 200whp car could be lapping the 120whp car all day long.

In the end, drifters are retards and don't understand that if they need 25hp more they need to buy a $15 CDM manual boost controller and crank it up to nog.  They could also buy a proper boost solenoid, wire/plumb it correctly, and run nog levels of boost.

Yeah remember beating a Evo8 in auto-x raw times with my stock CX HB.

The owner was so pissed he never should up to another event since.

It's funny I did not even know I beat him in raw time for 2 wks.  ;D

What's up with stretched tires? I don't understand that one. Is it because they can't afford larger tire or what? That's ugly and you have less contact surface.

If you can't afford tire, don't buy these large wheel...

IIRC, ages ago before tire technology really began to get developed they would stretch tires to increase the stiffness of the soft sidewalls.

The stretched tire fad is a extremely queer fad started by the VW homo's.

im looking at a precision 5557 with a 0.64 hotside.  debating on the ball bearing or journal bearing.



Bingo! I was going to suggest this turbo. This turbo will spool very close to a GT30 and kick the shit out of it at anything over 15 lbs. Make sure you get the billet one though.
