I am considering building my kit for production.. Do you think there would be a market for a lower cost 1.8 kit?

I am thinking somewhere in the range of 2000 - 2500 for a basic kit without engine management..

- Stainless Log Style Turbo Manifold
- 16g Turbocharger
- 38mm External Wastegate
- Stainless Intercooler Piping
- 18x6x2.5 Intercooler with Brackets
- Stainless Downpipe with O2 Bungs
- Braided Oil Supply Line and all Supply Fittings
- Oil return components (flange, barb, gaskets, line, etc)
- 4 ply Silicon Couplers and Clamps


I could also offer a non intercooler kit for like 1800ish..

Thoughts? Comments?

I bet you could sell some. Why the external gate though?

I like it if we get our 96 up and running i might try to hit U up on it. I considered askin about this months ago, but wasnt sure you where interested in miatas anymore.

I couldn't clock the outlet of the turbo in the direction I wanted to and keep the internal actuator.. I could possibly relocate the turbo on the manifold for a different placement.

This would be a personal project for me..

I could def' offer you a discount on this stuff, to use your car for i/c piping mockup..

Over or under/around the radiator IC?
Have any pictures of an example mani?

My current piping goes around/under..

Piping would of course be bent without welds

Mani looks good, alot like what I hope to end up with when I build mine.
So you know of a company that will bend pipe to your specs I take it, or do you have this capability yourself?

I would certainly be interested
can't be bothered to scrounge for loose parts to build a turbo setup, so I almost wished I had an 1.6 just so there would be a complete kit available..

Well even with welds it looks slick. Looks like you could get a pretty nice market for that. I mean it looks good to me.

What size 16G?

your intercooler piping is on the rag.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say evo III 16g, since thats what he sells with all his other kits.

I just need a NA to mockup piping.. we could do a non-intercooled setup for sure..

Big 16g, although a 14b or a small 16g would be a 100% bolt in option, but would likely be more expensive..

Example a big 16g retails for ~449, small 16g retails for ~545, and I think a 14b is about the same...

tylerdurden

I seem to recall the small 16G is about the same size as a T3S60, so it seems better suited than the EVO or big 16G which seems to be more efficient at higher boost on slightly bigger motors than we have.

Which is fine, they can have the small 16g, they just have to pay extra.

It used to be a different conversation, the small 16g used to be cheaper than the big.. so due to how close the compressors are, people would get the small to save a little money..

The difference between the two is like splitting hairs, but hey, I will sell anyone anything they want..
