Hi guys,
i have been on this forum for a while now. Mostly lurking and reading. I have never dealt with a turbo system before and figured that this would be the best location on the forum for some easy questions. I have slowly gotten my miata to a point where i feel that i am ready to add that turbo that i so sorely want. At the moment i have about $2000 to spare. I already have a GM IAT sensor, and electronic boost controller kit from DIY Autotune. I also have a boost gauge. Everything else that i have done is listed in my sig. I am looking at buying begi's shanghi s turbo system with the following options... -bypass valve -oil pan drill and tap -mild steel separate gasses downpipe -ceramic coating on the manifold -wb o2 bung with this i was going to order a 3 source vacuum fitting for the wg, map, and boost gauge will this get me started out, running 5psi? what other odds and ends am i missing? would i benefit in the future by splurging on extras like stainless steel dp, braided lines, or heat shielding? my future goals include... -larger injectors 460 or bigger -ebay intercooler kit to run 10-12 psi. Would it be possible for me to easily switch to an external WG setup in the future with this kit? Thanks for helping me with my shopping list. -Jared-

That should get you going. You can add the rest later. I made my own heat shield. I don't know what they charge for one, but it is a good idea.
Mild steel DP is fine. I mean, what do you want, a lifetime DP or a 5+ year DP? Some would argue for braided right off the bat. Again, I didn't but was careful with routing and protecting lines from heat. I also slid some spare 5/8" silicone lines over my water lines for extra abrasion and heat protection. |

thanks guys,
the heat shield is $89... I know that i can beat that price if i do it my self, but the quality would probably suck. I like that trick with the coolant line inside another line, i think i will try that. This will definitely leave me with more money to put toward an intercooler or injectors. BTW: Stein, how do you like your 600cc injectors? How much did they set you back? |
