Well finally getting around to writing up something of a Build thread for this car.
I'm missing a lot of stuff but this is just so I can keep track. This is 1.6 that i had intentions on autox'ing but im not sure about its future anymore Mods to date: Suspension/Wheels/brakes wilwood 4 piston up front and hawk pads on the back RS*R Race springs (can't remember the spring rate, but they're stiff as ****) Tokico blue dampers Eibach 24mm fron sway bar (solid) Suspension Techniques rear sway (solid) Tanabe Strut bar (front) Enkei RPF1 15x7 / work cr01 15x9/9.5 Wheel Spacers (can't remember what size or who made them) Body/Interior AK Fast back, Wide body, Shorty console, hood rennenmetal Spec Miata hardtop brackets Momo Hub, Random Crappy JDM Wheel Engine and stuff. GReddy turbo kit with vibrant front-mount intercooler and custom plumbing HKS SSQV bov DIY 3" exhaust & downpipe with A'PEXi N1 turbo muffler CenterForce dual friction clutch kit Fidanza Flywheel Aeromotive fpr (not installed yet) Rev built ms3 (not installed yet) AEM Uego wideband AEM oil pressure AEM Coolant gauge defi boost gauge and control unit M-tuned coolant reroute Mishimoto Rad and here we go... Picked it up a couple years with a blown motor that was taken out and no idea what i was getting into. https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1383292354 Since I hadn't had experience on building a car or anything like the car just sat while I built motivation to do something with it. So one day a beat up Miata came along at a salvage auction with another 1.6 which was motivation enough to start dicking around with it https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1383292354 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1383292354 I didn't have an engine crane at the time so we just used what we had, lol. https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1383292354 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1383292354 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1383292354 Since I had it I figured might as well do a few things. So I took the power steering pump and brackets off. Took the clutch off to take a look at it https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1383292354 Which didn't look that great. https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1383292354 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1383292354 So I replaced that clutch with a -fidanza lightweight flywheel -exedy disc -center force pressure plate https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1383292354 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1383292354 After that i threw on the td04 turbo/etd shorty manifold that came with the car. https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1383292354 time to stuff it in.. https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1383292354 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1383292354 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1383292354 Hurray. https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1383292354 Now it was time to throw on the turbo and the IC piping that was custom made by some exhaust shop from the previous owner, very inefficient https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1383292354 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1383292354 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1383292354 Tied up little odds and ends's added cold wrap on the coldside and mounted Tanabe strut tower brace. https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1383292354 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1383292354 picked up a mishimoto aluminum rad https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1383292354 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1383292354 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1383292354 exhaust junk Threw that on as a test fit. https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1383292354 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1383292354 made my first (probably last) downpipe https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1383292354 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1383292354 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1383292354 Made sure that it fit on the car and moved on https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1383292354 Picked up a perrin foam filter but needed and adapter plate to fit on the MAF so quickly made one with 3inch exhaust pipe hah. https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1383292354 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1383292354 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1383292354 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1383292354 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1383292354 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1383292354 Hurray, valve cover was pissing out oil like crazy so had to replace that https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1383292354 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1383292354 Checked the plugs and they were disgusting so I changed those too and added MSD 8.5 high conductance wires https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1383292354 Also went with a bit colder plugs https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1383292354 Poorly polished the valve cover poorly and cut the timing belt cover off https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1383292354 yada yada this is how it sat in 2012 http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8170/8...c4394201_c.jpg http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8174/8...752d3db5_c.jpg http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8449/8...5179e63e_c.jpg https://scontent-a-lax.xx.fbcdn.net/...27319562_n.jpg https://fbcdn-sphotos-f-a.akamaihd.n...63951960_n.jpg https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1383292354 also dyno'd it at some point. made 227.23/179 @11psi ish (no tune) (yes i was an idiot) since then i've pulled the motor and did a few seals then popped it back in. but i will update a bit later. |

Started dicking around with quarter panel stuff for the rear overs
Attachment 99733 Never tried cutting and welding fenders, but eventually turned out alright. Not like anyone will see it anyways. But just need to seal off the bare steel/ paint it. Also fitted the Fenders. Attachment 99734 |
Not too bad of a build so far what type of management are you using and what fenders/flares do you have?
|
Looks like a dirty bastard, love it.
And yeah, what management? It's either not MS and you need one, or it is MS and you need to get rid of the AFM post haste. |
Well, he said "no tune" before. So does that mean stock injectors, no RRFPR or acu or anything?
If that's the case, it's a wonder it survived the dyno session. |
Get a MS and clock that turdbo and you could get rid of that chunk of intercooler piping.

But for management all it had was the Vortech FMU, you can hear it ping like a bastard on the dyno but hopefully i didnt do too much damage. Ended clocking the turbo and making the IC piping a little more efficient as well. |

Awesome progress man! That FP looks pretty serious though. Im surprised you didnt just replace it with a stock pump. Should be more than enough.

Yeah might be a bit excessive. Got it pretty cheap locally. Hoping that the aeromotive fpr will keep it in check. Can always sell it if it's too much |
Fuel pump should be great. I am a big fan of too much pump rather than not enough. The aeromotive FPR is an awesome unit and should control your pressure just fine. Great progress and I cant wait to see how this thing turns out.

Finished up the exhaust, not that pretty but whatever. Crush bent 3in that came with the car
Attachment 109137 Attachment 109138 Also cut these out and switched to v-band clamps (never going back lol) Attachment 109139 Basically have the motor in and running and all that. Ended up getting a wobbly crank, and found out it was from a used cog I had got from when I accidentally dropped mine and it had chipped lol...bah Attachment 109140 Attachment 109141 this was probably why.. haha going to order a new one this week hopefully... along with some cam seals and front crank looks like it started leaking too... for whatever reason... maybe the cam seals need rtv |

another small update:
Finished up with my exhaust stuff: Attachment 239175 hated the fitment of old one i made, was basically rubbing on the front sub frame, and was a nightmare to bolt back on. Attachment 239176 was using this collector flange initially Attachment 239177 and switched it out for some ebay v-band flanges Attachment 239178 exhaust is just a crush bent 3in (cause cheap) and basically 2.5 in DP then i wrapped it up, cause it looks pretty now https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1404069134 started rebuilding my front end a bit. did: -ball joints (upper/lower) -tie rod end -poly bushings in the UCA/LCA -ARP extended studs Attachment 239179 along with throwing on the wildwood kit i had bought from a member on here: https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1404069134 quick shot of the rear overs thrown on: Attachment 239180 |

I think the novelty wears off when you run out of funds and creativity.... Or it breaks/runs out of gas |

Few new things:
Bought a 96+ Miata diff via ebay for a good price and driveshaft/axles from some other dude. https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1406558256 Seeing as they had just cut the stub shafts off and he wasn't really sure whether it had a Torsen or not I wasn't too thrilled about grabbing it but for the price (about the same price as a typical 94+ open diff) I went for it anyways, With some help got the stub shafts out and cracked it open https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1406558256 Thankfully it contained a Torsen in hopefully good condition. Couldn't break the 25 year old axle nuts free that night but I'll take another crack at it this week and throw it together. https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1406558256 |
Cool project.
|
any updates on this? Very cool.
