Talking fw power.
|
400 at the fw is still over 300whp. Have you ever driven a 300whp miata?
|
No, my current setup is around 300fw so the next upgrade is to around 400fw.

You're definitely going to want a better manifold than a cheap eBay one. You'll want a real turbo, either EFR or GT3076. You'll need the FM happy meal 2. You'll probably also want a brake upgrade. I suggest driving a miata with 300whp and decide if the monetary investment is worth it to you. Also remember that things tend to break often when you're at that power, so anything preventative that you can do you should such as a BE oil pump.

patsmx5 run 500hp with ebay cast manifold and a cheap ebay turbo.
FM2 maybe come to be a must, I have FM1 NIB. BE oil pump will go in so is ATI and forged rods+pistons. You say that 300whp will need less spending ? Thanks |
Pat also breaks things all the time.
|
Not the manifold...

With great power, supporting mods will be needed. Try driving a 300rwhp miata with stock non sport brakes....... Also add tires/wheels to that. I can spin my 15x9 225/45/15 R1Rs through 1st-2nd and I'm only close to 300, or at least not dyno confirmed. |

Pat also changes things all the time, fixes things all the time, modifies things all the time, and does really crazy things all the time, none of which you seem to be capable of. If you are really foolish enough to compare your build to his, well then you're in for a surprise. You're missing the big picture here, and it's really sad
I mean....................you can't even seem to get your current manifold and turbo to seal. After multiple tries......lol |
Skimps out on using a 12pt socket for head studs... wants to build 400hp miata

I am going for an ebay turbo, what spec do I look for ?

VVT could help make up for a little bit of spool on a china charger, no?

That is a fair statement but that 9th time is scary. Nothing like slamming the brake the the floor and not slowing down :eek: Some decent pads, SS lines, and brake ducts would be a cost effective approach. |
Drive a 70's fiat and talk about slowing down
