Hey guys, I just got my first Miata! Pretty stoked on it, its a base model with PS and AC 115k miles and I am the 3rd owner. How I got the car,
Exterior ===== Garage Vary Rep Lip Paint Matched hardtop (w/ headliner+defrost and pigtail) blacked out turn signals NRG Extended Lugs Great Condition Soft top w/ plastic window Riceland one piece coilovers Rolled Fenders w. SLIGHT pull Debadged (need to fill holes from badges) Interior ===== NRG Drifting Steering Wheel (i think) Head Unit with AUX+USB Autometer Procomp Boost Gauge Apexi Turbo Timer Upgraded to kenwood 6.5"s in the doors Engine ===== Garrett T25 (from an eclipse GSX) rebuilt 400 miles ago with genuine garrett parts Home made turbo exhaust manifold, intercooler piping (2.5") 2.5" Turbo back exhaust with stock NB02 as well as WB02 sensors Tial 38mm Wastegate w/ 8 Psi spring (plumbed into exhaust pipe) Tial Super Q BOV MAC Valves Electronic Boost Controller (not installed) Link ECU w/ keypad, seriallink, IAT sensor and MAP sensors Flyin' Miata Level 1 Clutch kit (rated up to 318 ft/lbs) Ebay Front Mount Intercooler (keeps intake temps around 20*C) KAAZ 1.5 Way Clutch Type LSD (set for 66% lock, can also be changed to 33% or 100%) OEM Front Strut Brace from JDM Eunos Roadster I have already ordered a bunch of parts to get the ball rolling 15x8 et25 Konig Wideopen wheels with 205/50/15 Bridgestone RE11A tires AEM Uego WB02 New Heater core Materials for a knock sensor Gauge pods Ralco Short Shifter Just did the timing belt/ water pump and all the gaskets up front. Raised the car a full inch. Going to replace these shitty "coilovers" in the future. Need to add some sway bars as well Hopefully will have all of this installed by the start of next week. Then I need to get some data logging going, get a boost control solenoid and start turning the boost up. Goal is 250whp. Thinking about 1 bar or maybe a little less. Will update as I get further along. https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1378928728 Untitled by fail wagon, on Flickr https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1378928728 Untitled by fail wagon, on Flickr https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1378928728 Untitled by fail wagon, on Flickr Puppy approved https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1378928728 Untitled by fail wagon, on Flickr |

Nice to see someone un-fucking a car for once. Not sure if the link will support your fueling to 250whp though. Time for a megasquirt.
|
The car only has 440cc injectors, what is the general consensus on max power level for them on a 1.8? Any specific reason why the Link can't support 250whp?
|
Sick man. Love the white wheels and black paint.
I don't know jack about a link, but I know there were more than a few people making 240whp or so on them back in the day. Glad to hear you picked up some wideopens, I love mine personally! |
curious to the story behind you username? pics of said "fail Wagon"??
nice car btw |
Ah I was thinking of the piggyback ones with stock or near-stock injectors. I think I got the link confused with the doodoo box.

Paint is in great shape for being original. I got pretty lucky on this one. Hoping to be in the range of 240-250whp. I curious what my 440cc injectors will support. Any input? Thanks guys |
In for pics of fail wagon.
Any shots of the engine bay? Looks like you're setting up for nice build. |

Here are a few more shots
https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1378935988 Untitled by fail wagon, on Flickr Intercooler piping runs through the wheel well, rubs for the last .5 turn of the wheel, hoping that the lower offset wheels will help alleviate this, I don't really want to re route the pipe as it is short and direct, might flatten it out a bit to make it more oval and gain the last .5" of clearance I need Wastegate setup https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1378935988 Untitled by fail wagon, on Flickr Old Sprint JR I have had around forever, thrashed and covered in dog hair but I threw it in for the time being. Low mount with no rails. I am 6'3" and 200lbs, the stock seat wasn't really cutting it https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1378935988 Untitled by fail wagon, on Flickr |
Also going to watercool the turbo this weekend when I drain to coolant to do the heater core, oil cooled only at the moment. Running a turbo timer.

I have a pretty clean example besides some of the shitty parts the PO put on it, last thing I want to do is go bang it up and wreck it. I already raised the car an inch since I got it up to about 12.5 and 12.75 F&R, not going for the super slammed hellaflush shit.

Short IC piping is overrated. Flow is much more important. If your IC piping is rubbing, route it elsewhere.
|
Original paint! Wow, that is one clean car.
I always loved the sleeper look with the original wheels. |
also i'd get billies over koni's any day of the week
