Miata Virgin from GA
hey everyone, I just bought my first miata. I needed a everyday car that was fun to drive. I have always been into mustangs for the past few years. I am not as fimiliar with the miata as i should be. So I plan on doing more reading and searching.
Anyways here is some info, its a 93 with AC and PS. 230K, the guy "said" the engine has been over hauled (timing belt and I think new head).
its got sparco wheels, KYB AGX shocks/struts,unknown springs, Strut bar, aftermarket turn signals, Magnaflow exhaust, and im sure some other stuff.
Its a fun car but I would like to have around 150ish so a turbo is in the near future.
here is a quick picture.
and of my cobra (I know its nonmiata) lol

yea im looking at doing something on a small budget, and keeping the power somewhat low. It is my primary car, and i still want some decent mpg. lol
Ive looked at the Greddy kit and the Shanghai-S with the "china charger" haha that still cracks me up..
Honestly i know that kit is on the lower quality side, but i kinda just want a turbo car(never had one) and add 40-60 hp.. My only question i havent found yet, is if i run a Rising Rate Fuel Management thing and a megasquirt would this be all i need. Or could i just run a bipes acu(I know this is more of a bandaid). Keeping in mind i only want to run 5-7 pounds, and maybe intercooled later down the road.. Most of the board seems really leaning towards the megasquirt or a compete ecu takeover sorta thing..
Cobra has 2.76 upper,Steg. Stage 4 port, Mafia, Boost a Pump, JLT Rai, Spec Alum Flywheel, Spec 2+ Clutch, UPR Firewall adjuster,LDC freeplay mod,UPR X pipe,Magnaflow CB,Dynojet Wideband, Speedhut Gauges, Poly subframe, diff, control arm bushings, Diff brace
It put down just over 500. about 13-14lbs of boost.

If you go with a megasquirt you won't need the rising rate fuel pressure regulator. Well, what you should do is get a basic kit (Greddy or Shangahi - personally I'd do the shanghai), get a megasquirt, then pick up some larger injectors (300cc ish). You can get used injectors for cheap. Tune it up and then enjoy it.
