She's the best man. If you can find a girl who doesn't mind spending all her time in the shop and the track, you gotta put a ring on it.

As an old, I can tell you that is the arc of life. First person ignores you then you're really into them, then you're distracted for a while, then you're annoyed, and in the end, if you're lucky, you find the groove that works for both of you. Come to think of it, it's a hell of a lot like a car project. 😮

You guys have fun. Props for the TWSS joke. tbh, in the shot it looked more like six than seven 😉. Seriously though, I do love superchargers. I guess it comes down to whether you want a whiner or a screamer. Damn it. Back in the gutter again. Keep it up! Despite silliness and unintentional puns above, nice to see plain, no pretense, direct look at the work you're doing. Now I want a supercharger more than ever. 🏁

Supercharger kits are $4000 to $5000 right now for the ones that are plug and play. They can be bought off the shelf. If you want to do what I am doing. I am doing a DIY supercharger homebrew. Right now it currently costed me $2500. My car is a 2000 miata NB.

Superchargers are like rotaries. Its not economical to buy or make one but you have to reallllllyyyy love the sound of superchargers to commit to the build. If you want cheap power, I suggest going turbo. Trust me, this is coming from a mouth of someone who loves superchargers and built one himself.

@@WorstPaperCut totally agree with all your points about superchargers! Two more thoughts, though: supercharger is one of the greatest words that could ever exist, and yes, there is no rational reason to choose it, especially because I would go the pre-assembled route and it would cost more than the car 😱 It's sounding better all the time…☺️

I've built turbo kits and supercharger kits from scratch a few times. Was able to do both fairly cheaply. There are a lot of oem superchargers on ebay, like M90's and M112's. I put a cheap used Powerdyne head unit in my Thunderbird. Made all the brackets and piping. Worked great. I've been thinking about the possibility of putting a mustang cobra supercharger on my 350Z. There's a ton of them for on ebay for $600.

@@bryanmurphy26 sorry but M90 and M112 is not the right size for a miata 1.8. The parts for the supercharger kit is fairly cheap. The reason why my home brew costed me $2500 was becuz of the megasquirt ECU. If you have an NA and older you can get a speedyefi ECU for like $400 dollars. My homebrew supercharger kit would cost $1200 without the ECU.

Hey, I am finishing putting a supercharger on my Miata. What RPM does the boost feel noticeable for you? (I'm making about 6 lbs) Thanks!
@bryanmurphy264 жыл бұрын
If you're using the same M45 supercharger as I am, the power band seems similar to where it comes in on the stock naturally aspirated motor. It makes its power in the same RPM range, but there's just more power everywhere. Also, the boost gauge shows full boost when I stomp the pedal at almost any RPM, although it really starts pulling around 4k. One other thing I noticed was after switching from the FMU to a full stand alone, the better optimized tune allowed the engine to have a much broader power range. For instance I could lug it up a hill at lower rpm without downshifting. Just better overall drivability. The FMU and timing manager that come with the supercharger are OK, but they leave a lot of room for improvement in the tune.
