May I ask what your mods are Kevin?

Kevin M · 2006-06-08, 07:00 AM

Flyin' Miata springs, KYB AGX, Racing Beat front sway, 15x7 Ultraleggeras.

cody · 2006-06-08, 07:01 AM

So you're beating me with somthing like half the horsepower?

Kevin M · 2006-06-08, 07:22 AM

On a really good day, I have something like 105 to the wheels. I think it's closer to 95 right now though. That motor is tired.

cody · 2006-06-08, 07:25 AM

On my latest log at this elevation (65*F) I'm putting 200HP/210TQ to the wheels according to Ed's road dyno. So yah, pretty much.

Shit.

Actually, my miata is a pretty heavy example of the species. 2540 pounds (me included) in Club Trial trim, 1/2 tank of gas.

Hmm, maybe covering the entire inner surfaces of my front doors with Dynomat Extreme wasn't the best idea then.

Really, that's slow. My RS made 200 to the wheels on west 4th street at 65*...

What motor did you have in that bitch?

Kevin M · 2006-06-08, 08:36 AM

EJ251 w/Cobb intake, Borla header, custom catback, and uhh, custom software.

JonnydaJibba · 2006-06-08, 08:46 AM

You had 7 there before... so I was trying to find out but I can't find where the different numbers come from. Like I know I have an ej25x (x is da variable) and I've seen ej253, ej257, but I don't know what the last numbers mean. an ej251 is from a JDM car?

I know, horribly off topic, thought about taking it to pm but...meh.

Kevin M · 2006-06-08, 09:00 AM

No, EJ251 is a stock RS EJ25. Phase II SOHC. EJ257 is the USDM turbo 2.5 motor. EJ253 is (I think) the Phase I DOHC motor.

Kevin M · 2006-06-08, 09:00 AM

Also, I'm being facetious.... I once made a 200 whp road dyno just to prove a point about reading dyno results to compare numbers.

The thing I love the most about that photo is that anyone else who uses it already has my response staring at them

Well, I bought them. ^^^

Part number and Stock number were the same.

Dang, that was quick. They're here already. Now if my UP gaskets only get here by Friday, I'm going to have me some good old fun in the garage on Saturday.
