I guess it's time after going on four years
Hello.
After lurking for nearly four years, I guess it's time to make an introduction thread. Name is Corey, obviously. I currently own a 2001 Special Edition. I've also owned a '99 Sport and a '04 MSM. I purchased the car from an older gentleman who had it since essentially new (~2000 miles). He kept it completely stock except for a JRSC kit, header and a sweet grill (sarcasm intended -- I've yet to remove it as it's scuffed the paint some on the bumper where it rests).
After having the car for an afternoon I ordered wheels/tires, coilovers, and a roll bar. I also bought a BRG hardtop off a local 01SE for sale (trashed other than the hardtop) and removed the soft top. It currently sits at that point while I decide if I want to swap the supercharger for a turbo setup or do a KL-swap. I've also started collecting a black interior to swap out the tan.

KL wiring is CAKE if you go Megasquirt. It looks daunting in stock form because there's SO MANY sensors that are just completely unnecessary.
There's hardly anything more to it than a BP. If you are capable of pinning connectors, you can build a KL engine harness in a day.
But just to keep the peace, turbo the BP. The way to do it is:
Built BP bottom end with 8.6:1 pistons.
VVT head
Absurdflow or ARTech custom manifold
Borg Warner EFR
MS3x or MS3Pro
Anything else will get you ridiculed.
There's your friendly n00b tip of the day.

Thanks for the shopping list.
I've already for the head and a bottom end to build. Just not sure I actually want to go that way. Btw, this is coreyhendo from PT and vwnomore from the other Miata boards. :x
