I just made this post in random thoughts because I've been thinking about this for a little while:
"I've been thinking of just throwing a really small turbo on my b16 that would spool super fast, I'd rather have good midrange for throttle response than crazy top end...like my dad's mazdspeed miata. It spools at like 4k, its only got 178ish hp and 166 tq @ 8.5 psi, (I think) but its the exact kind of powerband I would want, and I'm sure on my b16 it would make a lot more than 178bhp. He's been thinking of getting a flyin miata turbo kit for his car, if he does I might just jack his turbo and have some of the parts I need for free... All I know about the turbo is its a non ball bearing single scroll IHI turbo...and it's small. What do you guys think? Maybe I'll just make a thread about this in forced induction."
Yea, so what do you guys think? I realize it's a small small turbo, but that's kind of what I want, and it's small enough that I wouldn't need to build the internals (for the boost I would run) or worry about reliability. If my dad got an upgraded kit for it, I figure all I would need to get myself was the piping, fuel managment, bov, manifold, and to get it tuned. I'm not looking for 13's, just a nice little bump in power with good throttle response...comments?
