Hey everyone, im always looking to squeek out an extra second on the track so im looking for insight....

my suspension is pretty dialed konig 8way adjustables 1.25" sway bars lowered about 1.5". i have lightweight rims and hoosier slicks. LSD

FM turbo @18psi, FM heat shield, 800cc injectors, air ducting through the mouth, raised hood, blinker vents, exturnal BOV, removed cat test pipe, LINK ecu(changin to megasquirt), 8lbs flywheel, stage 2 clutch, camber set 2clicks and 2 click toe out in the front and 3clicks rear camber.

big brake kit in the front 11.5" cross drilled willwood rotors still stock in the rear(hella breaking! www.hyedracyl.com <---cheap big break kits!!!), brake proportioning valve, pretty much gutted interior, removed a/c, o-ringed the head, polished the head.

hella light kit, nice dual lights, sleepy. body accent kit(nothing major), rollbar, 5 pt harnesses


I have a 1.6L... My turbo falls off... looking for a manifold that is like the 1.8Ls... anyone know of one?
next on the list.. godspeed rad, fans(any suggestions... ive had slimfans as a suggestion, but what cfm should i look for?) and coolant reroute

your last paragraph makes no sense. elaborate.....

I'll look for fans that pull something like 1600CFM each.

the part about turbo falling off?

konig 8 way adjustables? you mean KYB-AGX? I'm unfamiliar with konig shocks. Giant sway bars and lowering car too much don't improve handling always.


oh, and i hate kyb-agx's. i wouldn't put em back on my car if they were free.

Braineack

yes that part. and the difference between the 1.6L and 1.8L manifold you refer to.

needs more pc-pro
other than that, i would address one issues at a time not to confeuse people...

1fastmiata

well the 1.6 litter is straight out, and the 1.8 has a curve downward to it... so ive seen anyways

mazda/nissan

iTrader: (2)

yeah and they also aren't interchangable, different distances between the cylindars

Zabac

iTrader: (39)

huh?
are you talking manifolds?
there are many different stylez out thur you know, you kan pik an chuuz
how about you post pics and dyno plots of your **** so we can get a better idea of your setup

paul

iTrader: (21)

there are many different designs for both the 1.6 and 1.8. i'm sure you could find both those styles for either block size.

paul

hey mazda/nissan, did you edit your sig or is that Braineack having fun?

either way i got a chuckle out of it

sometimes i wish i could make **** like this up...

i figured that i had screwed up badly enough that no one would ever let me live it down so i saved braineack the trouble

1fastmiata

paul, I would like to find a manifold like your cycling display pic

1fastmiata

i find that it handles quite well on the track.... i didnt put the suspension in, my uncle put it in before i bought it from him.. all i know is they are konig, and they have a dial that has 8 different settings on it.

what do you recomend for a suspension system? i thought about a spec miata suspension... but i was told you can mix and match and make a better combonation that handles a lot better on the track

~$600. it was custom made for my car by Tim at Shore Motorsports. PM him if still interested, username is TurboTim. The setup with my 3" exhaust that Tim also made is ******* amazing! The car spooled like i had a T15 on there. We actually had to modify the turbo by hogging out the internal wastegate opening to reduce the boost it was building with no boost controller. I was seeing 17psi, 15 psi with the waste gate stuck open. We were able to reduce the boost to 12 and I bring it up to 14 with the boost controller. Here's a link to the dyno graph at 14psi max http://www.miatamx5.com/dynoruns/12-..._hp&tq_300.jpg and thats with just 1 morning of tuning on my way to the dyno place on the highway.

1fastmiata

nice! does the $600 include the rest of the exhaust and hog-out? or just the manifold? is your motor a 1.6 or 1.8?

it's KYB. it's red with a black ****. They are very low-end shocks. Did you know what springs? You could probably benefit with talking to FatCatMotorsports.com. He can build you up something nice.

paul

thats just the mani. i have a 1.8. he is building the same manifold for BRGRacer I believe who has a 1.6

1fastmiata

red sway bars, white shocks with a red dial, and i believe they are Eibach springs
