Gonna be badass!!

[turbotyla]

Hopefully.

Man I was kind of looking forward to seeing this swap. But that wheel setup. This is still going to be awesome.

[turbotyla]

Hey thanks.

As far as the v6 swap I wish I wouldn't of gave up. Because the v6 is so nice.

But it is in a good guys hands now. It will still be completed by warhorse performance. Look them up on Facebook. I will have their fastback and diffuser on my car.

Jessie is one hell of a guy and awesome to deal with. I drove to Wisconsin to meet him and it was great. He has knowledge and resources that I didn't have. And he is taking the v6 build to a whole different level.

Like I said look them up on Facebook he is actually planning on a few products for the v6. So if your really interested in it. There's where to go.

He should be updating the build soon. I think he is planning a high revving na build but I don't know. I cant really say too much. you will just have to find out soon

[MiataMatt]

That'd be awesome. This thread actually got me thinking about boost alternatives. We'll just have to see what happens when I get serious about some more power. Keep up the good work man.

[turbotyla]

Thanks man. And if you look more into the v6 swap it retains the factory transmission and rear end. And they are very awesome engines. I just had to notch the subframe and make an oil pan.

I would almost look into seeing if jess is planning on making a oilpan because the v6 is in many ways better than boosting and it had so much room in my car. just some thoughts. ill keep bugging him to release what he is working on. on the facebook page. Me and him keep in contact .

here is my lame attempt at a microsoft paint chop of his fastback on my car haha

Do the welds on the v8roadsters oil pan bug anyone else?

[turbotyla]

Its actually a kevko racing pan. And I agree you would think that some companies would clean their products up a little.

But. Honestly the rest of the pan looks great.

[LostSoulMiata]

Function > Form usually wins in the engine department. I'm just anal like that, especially if just the pan costs upwards of $500+, I would expect "dimes" on all the seems. I'm at about "nickles" on my welds right now, but have yet to use TIG.

[turbotyla]

Yea I am a welder myself. But on train cars. And I agree.

But after making the last pan and fabricating and welding, 60 hours a week. I gave it a shot to buy this one.

I agree with you. Although I will say it is welded inner and outer and has the diamond baffle. It is a nice pan. But even mig welding you can trigger some very impressive welds especially in clean metal.

Also lost soul I'm glad your still around the miata community. It reminds me when I first started over on cr. Net now that place has went down hill.

Well I'm back and here to stay. Picked up an NB and starting from scratch all over again. Bike accident gave me time to think and I missed my little go kart, lol. Your welds looked good, ntm you were building your own pan for the KLDE. Paying someone else is a different ball game, lol.

[turbotyla]

Nbs are the shit. Can't wait to see how yours goes.

And I sold my bike also I'm taking a few years off on riding.

My bike wreck opened my eyes to a few different view points on things. So long long story short.

I'll wait a few years and re evaluate riding. I love it and miss it. But I can admit that I need time to think on it. And my happy wrist.

Maybe a pit bike to rip some wheelies in my yard or something until then haha

Not to take your thread off topic, but I have a 108cc stroked CRF50 that I mess around on, lol

[turbotyla]

Love pit bikes!!!!!
