quick question, 500+whp w/ high compression (around 10.0:1) and 93 octane possible? anybody with an mx-3 like this? thnx.

yes.........

I don't think there are many NA Inline 4's on the face of the earth that push past 300whp, let alone 500whp. Your goals are unrealistic.

remeber if u have alot of money anything is possible

Hmmm, I think 500whp is a stretch; even for the KL-ZE... The doge viper is 500 Hp and its a v-10... maybe you ought to get a muscle car if you want outrageous hp?

i know its kinda unrealistic for n/a. but what about f/i? is there anyone boosting with high compression?

YEah i was about to say.. The guy never said it was n/a.. With FI Yeah i think it would be possible. Just tuning is VERY key. 93octane might be iffy but with the right Setup i think its very possible.

Just it will take a lot of reserach.

thnx for the responses. would tha n/a bp or gtx engines be able to take that power with stock internals?

not too likley. you would be looking at about 250 maybe 300 tops with stock internals. its possable with the proper setup to get it alittle higher. i could see it maybe hitting around 350 with stock internals but it probably wouldent last too long.

I would like you to rub that buy some of the miata guys..
Tuneing is the key. you will see this said time and time again. If you want a huge margin of error..lower the compression and get strong ashell componets.

There is some info in the files you can download from the front page on Daves mx-3 which details his internal buildup.
