MX5 doner cars engine turbo upgrade.
OK not low cost but well sorted,there is an interesting article in Evo this month on mark one MX5's.
Brodie Britain Racing of Brackley have a new turbo charging package for mark one MX5's (they did the dealer fit ones originally).
£3995 for the kit,
£4995 fitted,
£7500 for a refreshed car with the conversion fitted!
"at 0.6 bar the Garrett GT25 turbo apparently feels more like a supercharger, and on a 1.6 gives 222 bhp".
I wish I £7500 lying around!

But for £7500 you could fit a cosworth YB Engine and get 350hp out of the box!

£3995 is a hell of a lot of money for a turbo kit :-o

4K for a turbo kit? Is it gold plated or something?

there are far better options than the BBR kit.
i helped avoneer build a kit to make more power than that for his 5 for under £1500 from used FM bits, including refurbing a T25 turbo for it. that
included plug and play megasquirt, so better tuning options than what's included with the BBR kit too.
if they think 7psi will give 220bhp on a 1.6, either their dyno's knackered, or they're lying....
makes me wonder how much power pat's was making at 13psi. the arse dyno said plenty!

wowzers thats a LOT OF MONEY, can be done for way less, or real cheap..................................... picked up a complete car off ebay last week
that has the whole shooting match steel crank rods etc just rebuilt with all reciepts to prove for 2k it has leather, tv, big barry boy wheels, koni
shocks etc so hope to get loads back for those bits alone. sensible power output / cheap kits can be had from flying miata in the the states, or gredy
performace off the shelf my first car had a second hand gredy kit on it bought from a breakers for £400 ( basic kit no intercooler etc and gave from
memory nearly 190 bhp when remapped with a piggy back ecu courtesy of dynojet ( £200 ish ) i have a m8 who did a locost conversion on his road mx5 and
got approx 250 and it cost him about £ 600 ( obviously he made a lot of parts i.e manifolds etc and did some ebaying ) but it can be done on the
cheap ( comparitively speaking )
cheers
