KaiserRolls Posted February 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 approved. Boost is always the answer. Linear, track-friendly boost is the better answer. ....unless you have an S65 like me in which case boost is insulting. 4.6L stroke when my motor grenades!! Is the new miata intended to replace the current one, because it's already turbo'd? Or does Brooke need a spare turbo yata around for when you blow up the tune on the winter project? New Miata is intended to be summer driver I think? Idk, I don't ask questions anymore lol. Also edit: it shouldn't blow up hopefully Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaiserRolls Posted February 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 Cool, what does something like this set an E30 owner back? If you're comfortable sharing... New VF/RMS stage 1-bro kits are anywhere from $4500/$5500 as far as I can find. The few used dinan kits I could find where selling from $2700-$2900 I paid $2500 for this. When comparing that to the cost of turboing, it made me feel less crappy about spending money i_love_cars 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
straight6pwr Posted February 24, 2017 Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 that's a good deal. someone has a used vortech SC kit over on r3v and is asking 4500 if i came across a kit for that price, i think i would be forced to buy it too.

Depends what it the kit has, I know of a stage 2 12 psi kit that is being sold for $4,500 thinking about getting it, swapping blowers & selling my old kit.

patsbimmer1 Posted February 25, 2017 Report Share Posted February 25, 2017 15 - 20% is pretty average drivetrain loss estimate. 20% is leaning more towards AWD but not outside of the realm of reality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SamHolzmann Posted February 26, 2017 Report Share Posted February 26, 2017 Just seeing all the updates now, sweet to see another boosted s50 especially in another e30. We'll have to run supercharged s50 against turbo s50. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SamHolzmann Posted February 26, 2017 Report Share Posted February 26, 2017 Maybe ill have to come to an auto x event sometime this year, on the downside to that is the car is built to do the exact opposite of auto x and i would probably end up getting kicked out.

KaiserRolls Posted February 27, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2017 car is built to do the exact opposite. I avoid drift events for the same reason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaiserRolls Posted March 18, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2017 Finally had some free time and dropped the head off today. He pulled vacuum on it while I was there. Intake and exhaust valves he said looked really good. So there's hope. Will be picking it up sometime next week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B C Posted March 26, 2017 Report Share Posted March 26, 2017 Its interesting the changes they made in the oil and coolant passages between the M20 and M5X/S5X cylinder heads. The number of oil feed passages is reduced, the size of the coolant passages is reduced (this doesnt mean less cooling, just look at the pinhole they put in a stock head gasket to meter the coolant flow) and all of the passages locate near a head bolt to maintain sealing when the head lifts ever so slightly. The oil returns also have more real estate around them (inherently from the head being much wider) which allows the gasket to be designed for reduced chance of external oil leaks. What im trying to say is, get it back together soon so we can break s'more axles KaiserRolls 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
