We finally have an update for the Miata intake project!
With our prototype now in working order, we were finally able to hook up our ND Miata to our dynamometerand get some pulls underway. At this point in the process, we knew we’d want to play around with some other design ideas while the car was hooked up to the Dynapack. AFRs, power output, and sound clips were all on the agenda for the evaluation of this prototype system.

The most exciting part of product design happens during the final stages. Product testing reveals any flaws in the design and also provides insight into possible adjustments for enhanced performance. In addition, testing validates our existing design and makes all our efforts well worth the time spent. So far, our team is having a great time developing new ND Miata parts.
Our ND Miata oil cooler kit will be no different. Since the stock vehicle with … Continue Reading ››

A catch can install is an easy way to slow this progress, which is exactly what we will be working on … Continue Reading ››
