Afternoon FUN Romp into the local mountains in our Supercharged RF.

We have been using the Edelbrock Supercharger in this project without any upgrades in cooling and that has proven no issue for my wife's street driving and several road trips. Even in the heat of our late Indian Summers here up local pass using aggressive throttle and with ambient OVER 95 F the most we have seen is 215-220F coolant so far. But it gets even hotter than that here and we have two frothing motorsports journalists coming in 2 weeks and they are planning some hill climb fun! So we figured time for some insurance, we installed the used Mishimoto Oil cooler. As we did with the install in the turbo, we flip the unit here so it drains and intentionally overfill by half quart (do install per the Mishimoto instructions if you don't want to remember that, which keeps dip stick accurate). Note we had to flip the brackets around for the mishimoto cooler so it fit neatly between the supercharger heat exchanger and the A/C condenser and radiator.

That makes our car now a 5 quart fill. Added temporary oil temp gauge and ran it hard as possible in climb from sea level to over 6000 feet yesterday on lonely stretch of open curvy high desert to mountain peak road. Ambient was 80F at the starting point and I pushed it REALLY HARD all the way up. Happy to report only issue was that I smoked the brakes, this project now fast enough it could use a little more brakes and will cure that soon, oil temp nice and stable around 210, plus or minus 5....and we still have stock coolant radiator in this project.

After smoking the brakes on last mountain blast we decided to go with our Wilwood 12.1 Big Brakes for this car, it's NOT a track car so we figured our big 12.88 kit would be overkill and the 12.19 kit 'just right' for fun we have planned with this project. Now I can hand the keys to the journalists.

Carbon Miata Grille with Halo Lights Going IN. Stylish looks and further insurance on cooling thanks to a much BIGGER gulp of cool air through the nose.

The added black arrow is to point out we used some vinyl wrap to make the bumper bar matte black so it 'vanishes' behind the new grille.

With the added SPEED of this project we finally found the limit of the stock brakes as noted earlier, fried them in a fun supercharged blast up and down Mount Palomar. This project doesn't need our 12.88 track brakes, but did more than stock, so we compromised on our VERY price effective Wilwood 12.19 kit.

Shot from backroads romp with Grassroots MotorSports Magazine! CAR WAS FLAWLESS! Perhaps more important is that they loved it, no issues, ran it hard up and down the mountain roads.
