Mazda MX-5 Miata? Those things have 145hp stock at the flywheel, 121hp at the wheels.

The Flying Miata turbo upgrade puts then at 295hp to the wheels, at 14psi.

I currently own a '90 miata and planning on doing a full blow turbo. If you say it was a '93 miata then it is pushing around 110-120 to the wheels stock. So he must have a nice size turbo to have smoked you. If you want to get some pay back on the miata just come find me, my car is slow.[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-frown.gif[/IMG]

MX-6 Turbo?

Was it a 6 cylinder or 4 cylinder?

Up to 1992, the Probe GT & MX6 GT were turbocharged 2.2 liter 4 cyl rated (some say conservatively) at 145hp.
From what I hear, they aren't terribly difficult to modify for a little more power.

After 1993, the GT versions of both (they shared the same platform) went to a small (2.5 liter) V6 engine rated around
174hp.

My friend has a 1988 (i think) MX-6 GT. It puts out around 145hp, but he got some valve thingy that let's him change his boost. It only cost $35 because it's not what it was designed for. It makes WICKED horsepower!! He regularly plays with newer V8 mustangs on the streets... of course he's got it lowered with an air damn, intercooler, giamungous pipes and wheels to get grip. it's kind of a beater now, but it's still a blast to smoke people who aren't expecting you to even stand a chance...
