golftdibrad's build thread. MSPNP, old FMII GT28 kit
So at the last autox I noticed significant clutch slip in my current setup:
And today I bought a FM happy meal. And the more i though about it, the more sense it makes to just install the turbo stuff while its all apart for the clutch job.
The current engine setup is:
started as 94 C package
4:10 gears from a NB
MSPNP, MAP VE Tuning with IAT correction, Inovate LC2 wideband.
750cc RC injectors
early MP62 kit with TRD tensioner
runs about 8lbs of boost at red line.
So i have this pile of pipes to fit back together.
I think it started life as an old FMII kit. It has been modified.
Here are the pics of the install from the car it was pulled off of. I will not be using the MBC or the extra injectors.
I dont know what kind of turbo it is. It says Garrett, the cold side is .6 AR and the hotside is .48 AR. Any help identifying would be great.
Stuff I need to get: Rear main seal, maybe trans seals, might get a new exhaust gasket, gasket between turbo and manifold?, hardware, new IAT bung/sensor, and something else I'm sure I'm forgetting.
I plan on ditching the PS and keeping the AC. I think that is all. So what do you all think?

Friday night I discovered two broken studs in the turbo manifold. Lots of drilling and cussing later, I have some new 5/16-18 holes to put stuff into. They are so stuck that i tapped threads onto part of the bolt. I am also getting a 90 deg fitting for the oil feed line, and a new TB gasket.
Couple of questions:
1. The oil galley on the exhaust side of the block, what threads are it? Everything else seems to be 1/8 npt, just wanted to check.
2. Do i need an oil restriction for the turbo running -3 line? Its a non- watercooled journal bearing unit. (.1875 hole)
Also, my other car (my namesake) is jelious. Lost a voltage regulator/brushes Saturday. Of course right after i spend a crapload of money on the miata.
