hey guys, this is my 95 M edition.
stock: https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1386652822 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1386690037 well, this is how i ended up with this car! my friend bought it from an older man, its been sitting on grass/gravel for awhile. so the day we drove it home, the rotors and brakes were rusted. I had to drive it home for him since he couldn't drive a 5sp all to well. a couple weeks of him owning it, he took it to my dad's shop and i did a couple things to it. timing belt, water pump, valve cover gasket, tune-up, brembo oem pads and rotors, rim and tires, and coil overs. well he drove the car for a little less than a year before i decided i wanted to try and boost a car... up until this time I've only rebuilt turbos on a couple volvos and fixed a couple turbo diesels hot/cold pipes. i was looking at a couple miatas but he called me and told me he would sell me his, and i couldn't pass up that because, well, i knew what was already done and how he drove. soooo, that's how i ended up with this miata! i got the car back in, i think, early august. I am uploading pics to Photobucket as im typing so ill update you guys in a couple minutes! Edit: here is how it sat for a couple months before boosting it https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1386690037 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1386690037 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1386690037 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1386690037 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1386690037 after turbo build! https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1386690037 http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t...37286193_o.jpg Attachment 185047 |

i ordered the the intercooler kit separate, one off of ebay along with a knock off type r BOV, instead of the one from Begi because of the cost....

first night! https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1386665320 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1386665320 the build took less than 6 days, working on it about 2-4 hours a night. I'll let the pics do the rest https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1386665320 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1386665320 |

the longest time spent was on how to route the hot and cold pipes and mounting the intercooler!
since i still have A/C and P/S, i couldn't route it the way i saw begi and a couple other builds on here... so we cut and torched some metal out of the way! https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1386667031 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1386667031 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1386667031 tapped the gm open element into the coldside of the intercooler. https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1386667031 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1386667031 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1386667031 |

i also bought an 2.5'' cat back exhuast, i already deleted the cat.
Beluga Racing Mazda Miata 1990 1997 MX 5 1 6L 1 8L Performance Catback Exhaust | eBay it was supposed to be a direct fit, but you know how anything aftermarket never fits right. i had to space the bracing, cut the exhaust and extend the part by the axle to keep if from notching up and destroying it. https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1386667246 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1386667246 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1386667246 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1386667246 spaced the bracing https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1386667246 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1386667246 |
