I have spoken to these guys for the last 18 months or so. I plan to fit into my s-ltd once complete if finances allowMy concern is the spectacular carbon fibre inlet manifolds. Designed to allow the engine to be crammed under the MX-5 bonnet, and reduce weight, they don't look ideal for airflow to me. With cost of making them I'd have thought the shape would be more scientific (as were the huge Jaguar ones). They obviously work but what are the losses from the design?Must admit this would be the conversion I'd most like to do.....knowing just how sweet the Jag V6 is!
Only thing I wasn't keen on, was shown on the 'Car Throttle build' and that was chopping the hole in the Mx-5 bell housing to accommodate the Jag starter motor...
They seem to know what they are talking about and i would not worry about the inlet plenums (as they call then)
Here is some of the science behind the intake development..
