My 2002 Dakota’s:
700: idle
1100: where you dump the clutch on the second yellow
1500-2000: where you cruise
2500: where the party starts
3500: sweet spot, you can hear it, peak torque
5100: where the party stops
6000: redline, oil pump cavitates just beyond this. They mean it!

You just reminded me of my ford tempo that didn’t have a tach. It was such a slow car but could bounce on the rev limiter all day without breaking while the shift light flashed angrily. Ahh good times.

The cruiser is something like:
700 idle
700-4600 various levels of mooing
4600-5000 pain.

This is fun. My C30:
850 idle
850 ease the clutch out so you don’t just spin the tires
2200 turbo starts to spool
3500 break traction in 1st-4th
3600-5000 torque steer
5500 wails like a your mom does

Needs JDM 4-2-1 header and JDM intake manifold...or boost...or an engine swap.

Toyobaru:
700: idle
800-2000: only available in 2nd or higher. The throttle’s so sensitive at idle it’s impossible to blip it to less than 2k to take off, and if you drop below 2k in first once moving it bunny hops.
2000-3000: cruise
3000-5500: only useful for revving through while dropping 3 gears.
5500-7400: party (in a blender full of bolts)

Yeah, this isn’t my picture. I have white gauges.

I was wondering. Those black gauges look like an NB1 set, which would have had the BP-4W. That has more “boredom” in the middle without the VVT to kick up the mid-range torque.
I think the BP-Z3 does pretty well for a small NA motor. My autocross friend has a MSM with a boost controller. We found that off the line, his car struggles to keep up with mine, despite the more aggressive final drive. Once his turbo spools up into the boost, it is no contest. But until then that mid-range torque bump of the VVT engine is pretty sweet.

Yeah the VVT engine with a 6 speed is an okay combination (though I’d prefer the 5 speed myself). I just thought it was amusing how utterly useless it feels over 6k for a “high revving” low displacement DOHC four.

That’s what forced induction is for. The B-series Mazda engines just beg for turbocharging if you ask me.

I turbo’d my 1.6. I’d like to do a basic bitch intercooled 7psi build on my car. As long as you don’t max out the injectors the MAF can scale for any amount of intake flow, and the injectors are good to about 190 crank hp so 6-8psi (roughly a stock MSM). If possible I’d get stock MSM turbo goodies and upgrade the intercooler and call it a day.

so 6-8psi (roughly a stock MSM).
That’s essentially what the Flyin’ Miata Voodoo II turbo kit provides. Their piggyback controller lengthens the injector pulses under boost, and just about everything else is still controlled with the factory ECU. As you said, 6-8 psi is the practical limit before you need to go to bigger injectors (and more complicated fuel management that knows how to drive those).
I feel like the 200 hp level would be a whole lot of fun. Though I also feel like after a while I’d crave more and want to step up to the 250-ish level the stock internals are good for.

I did the “Turbo with an FMU and 1.8 injectors” on a 1.6 at 8 psi and it was an absolute riot. No intercooler, no EMS, no blowoff valve. Retard the timing a bit, dump 91 octane in there, add a rising rate FMU and #sendit with a mitsubishi turbo welded to a hacked together stainless steel exhaust manifold and downpipe. I badly want another boosted Miata. I had the chance to pick up a free MSM factory turbo setup but wasn’t able to make the drive to Texas and missed out.

Also used in Mazdas as well like the Mazda6! So swapping a Duratec V6 would still keep it (somewhat) in the Mazda family!
