As the title states!! Lets see some engine shots!! Also list your setup too!

I need to take some new engine pix.


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.

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

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.

Open Wastegate like a boss



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 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.2000T.jpg

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.
