265 Rwhp Msm!?

[srivendel]

LiNKiE.

Flyin' Miata claims 265 RWHP from an MSM with only four mods:

1. Hydra ECU
2. FM downpipe
3. FM exhaust
4. FM intercooler

That's a huge gain (115 rwhp) from $3,100 in parts. Can't say I'm not tempted, but if you upgrade to that kind of firepower, you're also looking at bigger tires, stiffer shocks, etc. Then where does the madness end and how does your car "feel" when you're finished? It feels fast!

PS: I know: FM's dynos are optimistic. But on the SAME DYNO this car saw a 115 rwhp gain. Maybe the 265 is high, but it ain't that high.

good numbers indeed... but you're missing one *minor* detail there, that car is no longer runing the stock turbo, but rather an upgraded one with a larger compressor wheel..

I also think that along with the hydra were bigger injectors, but I'm not 100% on that.

FWIW, theyr'e saying the turbo upgrade will only be about $500...
edit: here ya go.. details..
Setup on the car: FM downpipe and exhaust, modified IHI turbo, 550 cc injectors, hydra ecu, big filter temporarily stuffed on turbo inlet, FM intercooler.

standalone $1450
turbo, ~$500
DP 305
Exhaust 599
injectors? ~200 (?)
Custom intake ~200
FMIC $730

So you're already at just over 4k with no install... Good power, but I wouldn't call it cheap!

You missed one thing...

we modified the turbo so it had a better-flowing compressor side

Well that explains a LOT!

That's what I get for reading too quick. I think I'll just do the downpipe/midpipe and intercooler...

I have the FM DP.. It's definately a noticeable improvement...

Biggest gain is going to be seen in some sorta Programming improvement.. Keep your eyes on teh vishnu stuff... they're getting 180 with stock hardware... 200+ with and added intake and injectors.

Woh. This is making me rethink things. Wow.

So what is the best deal on an MSM right now?

Here's the vishnu miata link..

They've seen 200-205rwhp on the 1st few installed "Stage-zero' and about 180 with the 'sub-zero' kits. The info is changing daily..

Obtain a Gerber rebate coupon and a Zoom Zoom rebate coupon and you can knock off another $1k.

Gerber rebate coupon?

[Titus]

Gerber rebate coupon?

Info on the pointy board... search Gerber... it is a $500 rebate that was target marketed, but if you call a number you can ask to be targeted.

[EvilSpeeder]

Hm, I've got the Gerber thing. I'm going to zoom zoom live this weekend...but I don't want to wait!! I'm going to go look at a used one after work. We'll see how the drive goes.

Bingo. B. I. N. G. O.

Theres a 2004 MSM with 6000 miles in my garage tonight, and an NA. Both red. Oh, and a turbo celica. Something will probably have to give at some point, but I have 5 parking places and 3 cars so I'm not there yet.
