Alternative for NC MP5 supercharger
Posted: Thu Aug 02, 2018 11:04 am
I'm planning this winter's garage project. Looks like the MP5 kit is off the table, but I have a few questions:
I drive 95% street Grand Touring (two lane touring preferred), a little track night, and enjoy the hands on work on the Miata.
I have a 2006 NC with the GT package. I have already installed the full Roadstersport header (w/cat & ceramic coating), Helmoholtz Midpipe and SuperQ muffler, AEM cold air intake, Ecutek with Dynotronics Tune license, Enkei RPF1 17x8 wheels with Michelin Pilot 225-45 Supersport tires, and an HD clutch/pressure plate kit.
* Is the Kraftworks kit still available, and is it suitable for every day driving? I would plan to use the low boost pulley.
* If the Kraftworks SC kit is still available (or you can recommend a suitable alternative) will I need:
- oil cooler kit?
- manifold heat shield?
- increased radiator capacity?
- forged crank?
* What suspension improvements would you recommend over the Bilsteins and stock sway bars to improve handling without screwing up the ride and with minor suspension height reduction (roads here are not good).?
