Ad one more to the list of members who joined in with the sole purpose of following this thread ... I am an MX-5 owner and really hope to see a DIY kit come out of this effort.

Great job neutron256 ... I hope you get back to it soon ... I had a couple of ideas / questions that I wanted to share and see if you have done some thinking / research about it ...

> For power delivery ... how about using a battery pack in conjunction with (parallel) some large caps ... This setup should be able to provide high peak current demands of any hi-power motor ..

> also, for tuning ... while closed loop would be ideal ... but given how well the Phantom solution is working with and on-off switch .. I think the three mode solutions is rather simple and elegant ...

1. TPS less than 25% off
2. TPS between 25% ~ 75% ... Ramp up the motor with the rpm
3. TPS 75% + run full speed
4. Also if the motor cut-off should be slightly before rpm redline ... to avoid surge (only in picture if we have a 7+ psi eSC.

Apologies if this these have been covered before ...
Also .. really hoping the LM5 motor/compressor setup is available soon and priced sub $1000... sounds like an ideal solution for this setup ...

Does anyone know what are the specs on the motors used in the Phantom setup ...
Thanks all.
