Convince me to not get a supercharger… (3 Viewers)

Can you pass California smog with a SC and tune onboard? I know from personal experience an aux tank is an issue.

I know the Magnuson SC is CARB compliant. Not sure about anything else

I don't really follow, you don't drive around at WOT all the time do you? When you want to pass or jump at a stop light it makes a huge difference. If you're just cruising down the road at constant speed and not in boost your fuel economy doesn't move much if at all.

No but I drive "city" conditions all the time with plenty of stop and go which means acceleration

I'm just saying personally I wouldn't put a SC unless I was going to use (and enjoy) it. for example by passing or jumping at stop lights a lot more than I was doing before

I’d be curious of the rotor dimensions on that setup.

You can run the most epic caliper possible, but if there isn’t enough mass and cooling capacity in the rotor it’ll all just overheat too quickly to be useful anyway.

It’s the standard 6 pot Wilwood 200 kit with 14.25 rotors in the front with a slight tweak (didn’t specify). It works on some method wheels as the wheel barrel is flared in a way to allow more rotor clearance. Icon wheels and others don’t have the same flare. In the rear it’s a different story and takes much more work for the Wilwood kit to work with 17’s and the clearance is very close. His 200 uses 705 beadgrip wheels.

That costs more than the supercharger!

Because Miata is always the answer? How about a supercharged Miata?

Yea...and people think gun forums are bad.

It’s really bad when you’re in both.

Full disclosure, I love Miatas
