I need to take some new engine pix.

http://revlimiter.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/DSC_6950.jpg
This one's kinda cool.

My setup is pretty simple. The no-electronics FM2 kit with the 2560, RC 550s, 2.5" exhaust, AEM wideband, and manual boost control. I use an old Obiwan Link ECU that I've had forever. It's yesterday's ECU, but I'm good at tuning it.

[urban]

nice i have a similar set up but with 440cc's and an mk2 link.

[concealer404]

Will have to get a better pic.... but here's mine on FM's lift. ;)

Details:

FM Big Enchilada + MAF delete
Blouch upgraded turbo
Hydra Nemesis 2.5

Should be a quick little monster when she gets a good tune. Looking for 270whp, and i'll have it.


Future plans:

1) modify intake to actually draw cold air
2) meth injection
3) Go Fast Bits G-Force boost controller

^ Nice setup you got for your MSM there. If I ever find a decent price on a used MSM turbo then I'm sending it to Blouch for the upgrade.

Thanks! She's a nice starting point at least. :)

I'd go BNR instead if you're bent on sticking with the stock turbo frame. ;)

FM stopped selling the Blouch turbos because there was a high failure rate. They either failed immediately, or lasted just fine. Near as i can tell, mine's been on my car for about 50k miles, so i guess i'm safe. :lol:

Started it for the first time in almost 3 months last night, it was warmed up and had a few low revs beforehand

volume is needed to hear the turbo...

I'm looking to go turbo in the next few months :o

I'm thinking of getting this turbo kit (http://www.ebay.com/itm/110811347556?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649#ht_6028wt_1008)

What do you guys think? I'd love to see a link to a 1.8 ebay turbo build :)

Take a look at the thread project cheap

[cbaylis77]

I just bought the car "as is" so I don't have much info yet but as I work it out I'll post updates. I'm hoping to have it on the road by April 15th.2180

Please God, no. You can't decently turbo a miata for less than $2500 properly. I'm building an ebay turbo kit as well, but there are some things you cant skimp on. Electronics and BOV for starters. If you want to go ext gated don't cheap out on that either. Some manifolds, turbos, intercoolers, piping, ect is ok to go cheap on, but do research on which ones actually last.

Stock-ish.....

[cbaylis77]

That is one crazy intercooler set up. What bumper and hood are you running to vent it?

[Boris]

I want to go turbo as well but having the hardest time deciding where to start.
Get a megasquirt first and set it all up on my 1.6 or start with a 1.8 swap first.
Either way, I want a snail under my hood.

[Darthteddy]

\\\Work bumper and hood combo. :P

Good luck finding one tho.

and now Im out. No mo turbo! Just two miatas to beat around in for now until I sell out!

[cbaylis77]

Wow! There are a lot of great looking setups on here. It's interesting how many different ways you can mount a turbo. I still have a long way to go on mine to make it look this nice but I'll post more picks as I go.

[ThePass]

A rather tweaked Greddy kit.

wow nice work. Function over form!!! Love this.

[SikSol]

Nothing fancy yet just got the car but plan to make some changes to the setup and would like to get about 250whp when done.

When are you going to dyno that thing Hyper? Looks incredible.

[Phatmiata]

Looking good Eli ! I think you are missing a hose clamp on the upper part of the radiator though?

[cbaylis77]

Still needs work (and a real camera). Turbonetics T3/T4, Tial 38mm wastegate and Greddy BOV. Manifold, intercooler and all tubing are custom. Just sent Hydra out for 2.7 upgrade and got 700cc injectors.

[cbaylis77]

At least the intake matches now. 6600

[Hyper]

Thanks!!! I am upgrading all the mechanical parts before I take it to the dyno. My next project is to upgrade the 6speed to something stronger. It will take sometime tough I need more bread

[Hyper]

Thanks Randy. I will create a build thread one of these days. The car runs fine but is not tuned yet as I still need to upgrade some minor engine bay parts. Thanks, take care. Where is your new Roadster??

Eli

[Phatmiata]

So will you be bringing the car up to Lakeland for the all Florida meet again this year?

[Hyper]

No, the farthest I will drive the car will be to Broward. Maybe on a a trailer?? I will to speak to one of my friends. who knows!

[maharaj]

what is the point in having a nice Miata if you cannot show it off?


BTW, Drew you need a MazdaRoadster sticker under the hood. or should it be a FordRoadster sticker?

I'll do the MazdaRoadster sticker! I need to make one of those fancy radiator cover thingies that Rubles has and then I will put one on.

[Hyper]

Please I want to ditch the CR.net sticker for MR.net sticker. Please send me some stickers for my car Randy!!

[benmiata]

Here is my old turbo installation, absolutely crap! Chinesse copy of Begi S4 manifold and T25 Churbo (Chinesse turbo) Powercard Pro, Over-rad I/C Piping, Turbosmart BOV, etc....
Plans are to install a new setup:
FM Manifold and exhaust line of 3", Genuine GT2560-R, MSII ECU, same over-rad I/C.

http://img130.imageshack.us/img130/144/imag0316ki.jpg

[Tungsten6]

Hrmm any issues with that manifold/where did you get it?

[benmiata]

I got it new, unused, from a fellow that sold his NB2. I installed a rod end strut from the elbow to the engine suport like Begi used to do, but for some reason one of the strut bolts got loose and the manifold not only cracked, but got some missing material around the cracks.
I thought my friend bought it on ebay years ago.

[roy obanion]

The bell manifolds are so pretty.

[psulja]

*fizz*

Installed my FM kit over the past week

http://i611.photobucket.com/albums/tt194/paulsulja/The%20Smurf/IMG_2286_zps202ff46b.jpg

[Phatmiata]

which FM kit is this Paul?

[psulja]

It is a used FMII no electronics kit with a GT2560.

[DK Wolf]

This is what a 500hp turbo looks like on an Okinawan FD. Man... my first attempt at going single was totally not pretty....... ew

no pic?

[I<3flippyheadlights]

Shits ghetto yo

[psulja]

I see it now. o dear lord... at least it was quick right?

Anyone else with a FlyinMiata kit absolutely hate the corner of the engine bay right in front of the throttle body? Hate that corner the most! So packed full of stuff. Really thinking about getting thin fans to try to help it out but still, its retarded.

[DK Wolf]

Yes its super ghetto. Got some outrageous power on the cheap but after my first motor blew, I needed to re evaluate my life.

Such a fun project. Ill miss my rotary.

I was quick as hell, and after my first batch of mistakes did it proper no shortcuts and had a mean running machine.
