I am seriously considering getting the Upsolute chip and Kleemann boost kit (bigger pulley, spark plugs, new belt, air intake hose). What do you guys think? Or maybe I should just go with the boost kit, since the chipping might create problems in the future.

Exhaust:

I like the dual exhaust from Lorinser. Does anyone know if there's another manufacturer that has dual exhaust? Single or twin tips. Thanks for your help.

do it....you will love the power!

hey benzy230. what mods do you have on your mb?

benzy230

smaller pulley, hard piping, HKS exhaust, N2O, and some various odd and end things that I cannot speak about at the present time because my mechanic (Rob) is still testing, and he wants it to be a "surprise".

If you do the boost upgrade, you will notice a big difference, while your at it though, also do the computer upgrade as well!

what kind of HKS exhaust do u have? can i see a pic? was it custom made it can ii buy one similar 2 it.

thanks

Christo

hey benzy230. how come you didn't chip your mb? i'm just waiting for some results/info. before i go ahead and chip mine. definitely will do the boost kit and exhaust.

question about the boost kit. i heard it only kicks in at high end? do you really have to blast through 4000-5000 rpm to feel the boost or you can still feel it under normal driving conditions let's say 2000-3500 rpm? please let me know. i'm sure the exhaust works the same way?

thanks

I will post some pics when i get my camera back from my brother! The HKS exhaust was custom made, and as far as the boost goes, you can feel it at low rpms, but you can really feel the difference at higher rpms.

Since I have the N2O on my car, I hit it normally around the 2 to 3000 rpm mark, and it turns the car into a complete beast!

Christo, I'll be installing the UPsolute chip this weekend. I had the car on a dyno Monday, so it'll be easy to measure any increase in power and/or torque after the chip's installed. I'll post the dyno after it's done

Larry, thanks. I am really looking forward to your post. Could you please post the dyno after the chip on this topic for me. Thanks. Tell me about driving your mb chipped while shifting between 2000-3500rpm. feel the boost?

Does any company make a bigger supercharger that works well with the 230 engine?

benzy230

at the present time....no

Christo

do you have computer mods? benz230

benzy230

somewhat....but we are working on more complex system that just a chip....

benzomonterey

Benzy did you decide to keep your car?

benzy230

Nope.....im waiting on the IS to get here, and then I have a guy that suppose to buy my car. If he does not come through, my mechanic might buy it for himself to do more testing.

egregory, contact Oscar at Jackson Racing. Rumor is they put an Eaton M62 blower on a 1.8L Miata making almost 230 RWHP.
