Hi gang. I recently made the decision to boost my car and i figured this would be a great place to gain some knowledge. I drive a 99 which is my fourth miata and first one to be boosted.

I started ordering parts last night and so far I have...
A td05 16g Turbo
Tubular crap manifold
Mishimoto intercooler
"DIY " piping
7mge 305cc injectors
4 bolt down pipe

I know this is nowhere near complete. I'm waiting for Braineack to get back to me about a megasquirt and I'm also looking around for oil/coolant lines, wideband, spark plugs, and some other misc things. My goal is somewhere between 8 and 10psi. Hopefully I can figure out everything I need to know from you wise guys.

Now for pics.

Welcome to the site, I'd contact ARTech for water/oil lines, Innovative LC1 or AEM UEGO for wideband, NGK BKR7E is the spark-plug most of us run. Good luck!

dliverance

Yeah I have heard quite a few good reviews on the lc1. If I have anything left over after the MS, I will definitelty be picking one of those up. As for the lines, I am going there right now.

Welcome to the Turbo Miata world.

Welcome to the site, sounds like you're putting together a nice setup.

And if they look at you like you're retarded and tell you they don't have a BKR7E, then tell them part #4644 and they'll bring out the same plugs.

dliverance

Thanks for all of the advice guys.

Madvillain, I just got back from Spain last night. Can we arrange a good time to pick up that cluster?

dliverance

I'm having a bit of a pickle here. I can't seem to find where the measurement for the 99 oil feed line is. I'm pretty sure I saw it in the sticky but now I cant seem to find it. I really wish i had a 94 block right about now. I would hate to order a line and have it be too short. Maybe I should just wait til the turbo comes and measure it with a piece of string...Unless one of you guys knows off hand how long that line needs to be

36" should do... I bought mine from stealth performance fits like a charm. I did not see you listed any injectors. Rx7 460s should be more than enough for your goal.

no

dliverance

Thanks Buffon01. I do have injecors. 7mge 305cc. They're going to be maxed out but they should work for 180whp.

As for the tubular manifold, I didn't have many options. I'm using a td05 turbo and I needed a cheap manifold that I didn't mind cutting and welding.

Heres why, notice the flange on the turbo.

You should upgrade your injectors to something a little bigger. Head room is always good. Also running a high duty cycle can be a liability. Do you have pics of your manifold?

dliverance

The manifold has not yet arrived but it's an s4 knock off (sorry begi)

The injectors should be at 328cc to retain the 80% duty cycle. That's assuming the setup will make 200bhp.

Alright, it will be nice to have another boosted go-kart in South Florida.

hector

I want to share in the Florida love! Too bad I wont be boosted for a while. Something also tells me you guys dont hang out at weenie places like autox's. Sigh, maybe some day when Im alls growned up I will feel the need to hit the track. Good luck with the build. I wish I couldve afforded one and still had a budget for suspension bits.

yo trey, can you pick up the gauge cluster tomorrow or wednesday?

dliverance

I can do Wed. but I'm not sure when I get out of work. I think I still have your number but if I don't I'll PM you here Wed Morning and let you know.

Ebay Begi mani copies often last one week or less. You should shop for a good used mani or you will be redoing your downpipe again.

Don't use positive pressure without a wideband.

Welcome.

dliverance

Thanks Sixshooter. I intend to chop and weld a lot of the ebay manifold. Which is why I went with a cheap one. I have to weld a td05 flange to it and strengthen it up quite a bit. If I knew for sure that it would work in the first shot I would have purchased the Begi manifold but since the manifold/turbo/downpipe combo are all experimental, I would rather test it out on something cheap.

Edit: And I do have a wideband.
