    Right?? It's a work of art! Prettiest turbo hot side that is readily available and will be stocked so you don't have to deal with long turnaround times on orders. And you don't need to go nuts and run an EFR 7163 like me to run it since the 3 EFR sizes that are commonly used on the Miata (6258, 6758, 7163) are built on the same frame. So this isn't just for high horsepower builds. Get a 6258, make really good power with awesome spool all while having a super sexy engine bay.

    Moving the update to this page as well:

    Some more work was put in by John and Bryan last night on the mock up and looks like things are ready to be welded up. Can't believe how well everything has come together on this manifold.

    For anyone wondering how to get their hands on one of these as soon as they are available for sale check out this thread here

    loving the prgress so far. Can't wait to see it running and what kind of power it is putting down.

    Custom clutch kit from clutchnet.com to work with my TII transmission. Rated for 500ft/lb of torque.


    Intercooler piping from Vlad. I was an idiot and just looked at the picture really quickly on mobile when buying it and didn't realize they were black. Oh well, I'll make it work.


    Met up with Bryan from Fab9 again for a few more parts

    So I ordered a good chunk of parts last weekend that should be showing up soon as I get ready to put the car together.

    - 2 Mishimoto baffled catch cans
    - Innovate EGT
    - ID2000cc injectors
    - Walbro 430lph fuel pump
    - Fuelab 515 FPR
    - Snow Performance Meth injection kit
    - Setrab oil cooler

    I know the injectors are big, but I don't want to run into the problem of possibly overworking ID1300's so I figured I'd give myself some headroom. And from what I'm read, the ID2000's linearity is great and shouldn't be too much of a pain for tuning. Plus they're right around the same price for either one. Although there's always the possibility that I've made a terrible mistake.

    Car should be moving to a friend's garage closer to home this weekend at which point clean up and prep of the car will start and hopefully the engine will be ready shortly after that.

    Some serious parts there.

    Thanks Austin. I guess I've been slacking on updates on this site. When I get a chance I might copy and paste over a bunch of updates
