1.6 MP62 kit?

[mossy1]

Tom will this kit be available soon, I have my 1.6 on the market at the moment and was going to get a 1.8 to S/C but its hard to sell an mx5 with a turbo kit so a 1.6 S/C kit would be ideal.

Hey Mossy. Dan here. Dont wanna speak for Tom but my miata (1991) Was going through preliminarys for the 1.6 kit the PC-Pro is in and working fantasticly! However: on the dyno (see thread beneath this one) we discovered a poor compression problem in #3 cyl:hang: So Im trying to source a new 1.6 motor. Should have one ready for Tom to play with next week or so. Hey Tom! You want I should have Mike leave it out of the car when I get it to him so you can do initial fitment on the bench instead of bending over the fenders??:hammer: Test monkey out!

[Tom @ Fast Forward]

Latest word is that the outlet manifolds are in final inspection or something like that. :)

Should be soon now.

Not sure what WHP it will make but the goal is 190+. When Dan's is done, it will be 'damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead'.

[mossy1]

Excellent, so are we looking at around a month or so, I take this is a hotside also?

[Tom @ Fast Forward]

Yes. It is also a hotside.

[mossy1]

Tom, do you think this kit will be cheaper than the 1.8 kit, I thought I read somewhere the 1.6 can run off 1 pc-pro intead of two like the 1.8.

[Tom @ Fast Forward]

They will all be the same price. $3500

Tom, now that the new outlet manifold has been tested on Chuck's car, when will you resume development on Dan's car?

Do you think that you'll be done by April?

I'm not trying to rush thing, I'm just trying to figure out when I have to fit the purchase into my budget. ;)

Also, just curious, now that Moss is basically done with the 94-97 and is moving onto the 99-00; will your work on the 90-93 be done independently or jointly with Moss? If it was me, some sort of joint effort would make a lot of sense.

[Tom @ Fast Forward]

I believe my MP62 kit is shipping this week to put on Dan's car. Soooooo, I would say it will be ready pretty soon. ;)

As soon as I have the necessary brackets designed and the WHP dyno'd and tuned, I will be ready to take orders.

[Tom @ Fast Forward]

I should have the hotside kit in my hands by Monday. :) Then adapt the brackets to the 1.6L motor and off we go. ;)

[Elphaba]

:censored: Looks like it WILL be a problem getting the car to Mikes, Monday. He's backed up on large jobs most of which are SUPERCHARGER INSTALLS!!! I wonder whose fault THAT is??? Heh...:rolleyes: He's gonna let me know when he can get me in for the first half ( motor swappage)

[Tom @ Fast Forward]

I do what I can. ;) It's all them dern Californians that like the idea that it is CARB certified.

[Elphaba]

I know that there is a lot to be done but I'm crossing my fingers for a late April shipping date.
