MX5 BBR v Corten Miller supercharger

Supercharged v 200 BBR. Same car same runway at Elvington comparison

[@gettingbettereveryday350]

absolutely flies with the supercharger - got a stock NC 2.0L & would like to upgrade the power - how do you find the driving characteristics of the supercharger?

[@mx5gaz709]

Cookie Monster - Cookies & Autos hi, it’s fantastic low down below 3000rpm it’s fine mid range it’s brilliant really kicks on and full power awesome. Normal driving round town is no trouble at all.

[@gettingbettereveryday350]

@@mx5gaz709 sounds good... had turbo (not mx5) before and i would want to keep it super linear and responsive this time.... is the throttle response and accuracy as good as stock with the supercharger on?

[@mx5gaz709]

Cookie Monster - Cookies & Autos yea I can’t fault it. Best way to describe it is it feels exactly the same but imagine a bigger engine up front.

[@Kamal-me5cx]

Hi mate, Im looking to get the BBR super 200 for my NC1, did you had any issue with it ? Is the power gain interesting for the price ? Thanks.

[@mx5gaz709]

Aitelhous kamal I loved the 200 kit, did about 15,000 trouble free miles including the ring and many track days plus loads of road trips. I just got hooked on a supercharger otherwise wouldn’t have changed it.

[@Kamal-me5cx]

@@mx5gaz709 Perfect ! Thank you for your feedback man.

[@mx5gaz709]

Aitelhous kamal no worries fella, let me know how you get on 👍

[@courtneyrager2166]

This was meant to be a comparison, but I haven’t a clue what the times were for the BBR - would recommend a summary at the end

[@mx5gaz709]

Thanks for your feedback. As the video says if you want the times then time it yourself, I didn’t want to post any unscientific times because of the variants involved and it’s not fair on the different tuning company’s involved, it’s just for fun.

[@petervandermeulen6641]

Can you make a new video with the supercharger driving around, showing more what its like. Tnx

[@mx5gaz709]

Yea absolutely no probs. That’s one for the summer. If you check out my other videos there are some 0-60 comparisons and also some driving about ones as well.

[@90albert0]

I also have a 2.0 NC '06 with identical compression on all cylinders. Can it take the supercharger on stock internals without throwing a rod?

[@mx5gaz709]

Bertie G Yes no problem, blink motorsport who fitted the charger says it’s fine upto 300, after that you need to start looking at internals. I know a few people who are running just over 300 on both charger and turbo with standard internals. With all NCs as you will know critical to keep an eye on oil level.

[@LorenzoClara97]

@@mx5gaz709 what's the cheapest and less stressful way for the internals? Reliable for some pulls or also for like 30 on track? Thanks

[@mx5gaz709]

Lorenzo Clara I’m sorry, I don’t quite understand your question. Reliability has not been an issue, I do sprints, track days and weekend driving

[@LorenzoClara97]

@@mx5gaz709 that's what I wanted to hear. I was wondering if it's possible to save a little bit by picking components one by one, for example is not hard to find a second hand rotrex for around 600€ here. Brackets etc can be made.. only the tubing for the NC are one off

[@mx5gaz709]

Lorenzo Clara yea I guess you could. Mine was what’s called a turn key conversion, so dropped off and picked up a week later all done and dusted, it’s the most expensive way but I haven’t got the technical capability of both buying the parts and fitting. I wish you good luck if that’s what you do and let me know how you get on

[@SportsterS2021]

what clutch are you using

[@mx5gaz709]

I’m on the act 6 puck, thing its a classed as a stage 3. Bit heavy round town bites really hard. This videothough is when I had an exedy, didn’t like that at all

[@Godzilla-tu8ty]

This is NC1 model (2006-2008)?

[@mx5gaz709]

Vanja Stojkoski hi fella, yes it’s a NC1, 2006

[@Godzilla-tu8ty]

MX5 Gaz thanks bro ! How much is setup for 230-250 hp with supercharger?

[@mx5gaz709]

Vanja Stojkoski, if you check out Blink motorsport website all their prices are on their 👍

[@barrycomer3688]

Forget the music and let us hear the engine

[@mx5gaz709]

Thanks for your feedback however I have lots of other videos without music so have a look at those. I mix it up because some people like the music and some don’t. Take care G.

[@barrycomer3688]

Kill the music when doing runs.

[@mx5gaz709]

No, I like music

[@barrycomer3688]

@@mx5gaz709 better to hear the engine during the test.
