"I'm going to keep this car stock" turbo
Hi everyone!
My current Miata is a 2000 NB that I purchased 2 years ago and have since then put about 10k miles on the car. It now sits at around 170k miles.
Since then its gotten three new clutches, one new motor (sitting at 120k) , one new headgasket and three catalytic converters.
I've done all the work myself thus car, and recently decided to pull the car away from the comforts of being bone stock.
For a while I decided I'd never change the car from stock because I didn't want to ruin the car. However after having done so much work to the car, I figured it might be time to exercise some artistic license on it.
My current mods are:
I've had some issues with piping the intercooler thus far, but I'm hoping to run some 2 inch on the hotside instead of the supplied 2.5 inch. I will be getting a megasquirt 2 soon.
In terms of turbo, I'm looking for something small. I plan on going to 170whp for now. I'm alright with eBay parts for now.
I'm really not sure what size turbo to go for. I've found an eBay turbo with a .48 A/R that seems to fit my target. Here
