MX5 turbo on the road again.......

[hbomb1905]

Really tidy example mate!

Mates got a mk2 (W reg) which he has supercharged - not been in it but apparently its running between 200 and 250 brake now its been remapped! His is a 1600 not an 1800! (I assume yours is a 1600 - did they do 1800cc in mk1s?)

I would love to supercharge or even turbo mine but it cost too much for me to warrant doing it Did he fit the supercharger himself?

Yeah mines a 1600. They did do the 1800 in mk1 but they came into production after mine in 94 i think. they then reduced the power of the 1600 to 90bhp rather than the 115bhp i have due to there being o little difference between the two engine sizes. IIRC 1800 was about 134bhp.

1600's are much more fun to drive apparently. i have yet to drive an 1800.


Alex - Once the cabby has gone to scrap heaven sell the 106 and get one. It makes sense........

Yeah fitted it himself and he's less mechanically minded than even me! haha

Only pic I can find...
