That would be cool. You say that because of the Karcepts decal on that Civic? We've known Brian Karwan for a long time from the Honda world, nice to see him doing Miata stuff now.

Check out my build thread. See page 5 and page 16 for my precision 600 intercooler install. I have mine installed with AC and ducting. Hope this helps!

This thread is awesome, the development in the past couple years is insane. My next miata just may need a turbo K series.

Thanks guys. 99mx5 - I'll check it out.

So I did a thing and ordered dark red carpet to match the red Elise seats.

This is my literal dream build.


@Shibby do you have Red carpet to match your Elise seats? This is like your younger brother version of your NA whose all about leg day, creatine, and getting swole

I still have black carpet. The only thing left that I may do is the crash pad and upper door cards in 93le red.

Proper post with pics, video, and numbers coming ASAP.

Come on already! Subbed to this thread waiting for results. No cliffhangers!!! Spill the beans on the numbers at least! Quick dyno pic wouldn’t hurt either.

I am sure it's totally undrivable, probably spins 4th on a hot day. Probably like my car in the rain.

I'm getting pretty moist thinking about this thing. And my entire day at work is going to be spent refreshing this page.

Sorry to keep everyone hanging! I've barely been at my desk today. I still need to get some videos up, but here's some pics. We had to stop at "only" 523whp at 18 psi because our wastegate setup was getting weird as you can see from the graph. We'll eventually make some changes and turn it up some more. We had a couple glitches to sort out at the dyno, so we wrapped up at about 2 AM Tuesday night. So this is a really solid start. Haven't gotten to set up the boost by gear yet, and still need to smooth out the tune a bit on the street, but wow is it fun. Our tuner did a nice job of evenly ramping up the boost so it's actually a lot easier to drive than I expected. 1st gear is useless, 2nd is okay if you don't go WOT, and 3rd hooks decently well but definitely gets squirelly on you. 4th pulls really hard right up to 135 mph at 8500 rpm. It's really wild. The drivetrain is geared perfectly and it handles the power very comfortably.

Overall I'm pumped. I'm looking forward to getting it fully sorted over the next couple weeks. I'm taking it for a 2 hour drive tonight, should be fun

I had to throw a final interior picture in there too, the brand new red carpet looks so good with the Lotus seats, Sparco wheel, and KMiata shift ****. It's just a super nice car all around. Very comfy on the street and not loud until you rip on it. I love it.

That interior is so good, wow. I need that. Great power too, looks like it ramps up in the midrange and doesnt hit all at once. nice
