Great post, a lot of things I hadn't considered there. Thanks for the effort you went to

. All of a sudden putting a BRP kit on mine sounds a lot more involved, the call of the NC may be getting louder :frown:

On a sidenote, it was good to see that StageOne weren't attacked for being a vendor.

Joe/Brant, while not NC supercharging specific, I see there's an engines section on your site. Will you guys be adding engine internals for BP motors? I've got pistons, and am shopping for rods, studs, an oil pump, welch plugs and other bits and pieces.

Speaking of Oil Pumps did you see a bloke on the big forums got a run of billet oil pumps made up. If you wanted to build a bullet proof motor I reckon that's the go.

Nope, dry sump would be better. I'll let you know how it goes when I start building one for my SE.

That's getting pretty serious. My rebuild budget is somewhat more modest. Impressive, nonetheless.

Yep, I'll give you that. Although, there's no history of failing oil pumps over here so I'm not sure it would be worth the effort just for a billet pump gear. The oil accumulators apparently work OK too, but there's a good reason why all serious race cars use dry sumps. The current prod sports championship leader is an MX5 with a dry sump setup, it's very neat and works a treat.

Joe whats the difference between the BRP kit which was I think around $3800 and the stage one kit which is now $2495.

Also around what price would a R4 kit be?

\"2006 Monster Miata
Among other things, plugging in an intercooled twinscrew supercharger capable of 270-290hp right out of the box. The prototype will be completed and debugged by Sept. '06, in time for the '06 SCCA National Championships\"
