Couple more parts are on there way...ill keep you guys posted.

Been waiting for this.....bout time! We really got to get together sometime, it'd be cool to finally hang out with someone else that is into miata's. Let me know if you ever need a hand with something...

I may need a hand putting in my torsen next weekend, having an extra set of hands always helps!

I was just wondering what you had planned for a rear end.....Did you get a 6spd to put in as well or are you going to see how long the 5spd lasts? I pm'd you my contact info so you can get ahold of me.

500 hp out of 1.6?

I may need a hand putting in my torsen next weekend, having an extra set of hands always helps!

A quick word of advice. Unless you started with a brand new/rebuilt oil pump housing, definitely check the pressure relief valve piston and bore on the oil pump. At least a couple of us here have had failures after installing new pump gears in a used housing, myself included. It sucks having to pull the engine out again after an epic and expensive engine build for something as simple and as cheap as a stuck oil pump pressure relief valve.

My pressure relief valve stuck open resulting in no oil pressure and cam bearing damage. I ended up buying a new oil pump and swapping out the stock gears with the same Boundary Engineering set you have. I wish now I had just done that in the first place. I have a thread about it somewhere around here.

I have a set of new stock gears if anyone needs them.

Yeah i already did that. I would never just slap gears in and go. The housing was in good shape, relief valve and spring were perfect, cleaned it lubed it and rebuilt it. Should be good to go. Good looking out though, i read about that happening before on here, that would suck, but im 100% sure mine is ok.

500hp on a torsen..... I know I couldn't do that lol

I'm doing the torsen for now cause I got a good deal on it. Once it goes, which will probably will in 2 seconds, ill get a quaf or something a little more beefy. Maybe an rx clutch type like Jay. He rocks that thing with 450 all day long. And yes......500 on a 1.6....lets see what happens....

Thats whats in my car....

Mine aswell, I've been rocking the rx for a few years, it just keeps coming back for more.

Do it......:bigtu:

Considered upgrading that intake manifold?

Already spoke to Steph at begi this week about the 1.6 intake group buy, just waiting on her....

Made some prgress this week! not much but some lol. Radiator and fans came in along with my corksport gears, gates racing tbelt, and headstuds.

I was a little worried that a godspeed radiator and fans were going to require some fabrication of brackets to get it to fit right....much to my surprise, 100% easy bolt in!

Im still waiting for my supertech springs and retainers, my cams and for my head to be finished.....Hopefully ill have some confirmation on the cams this week since i shelled out a butt load of cash for something thats not even made yet lol.

awwwwwwe, we have the same catch-can.

You may want to add a ATI damper at those HP levels.

hot damn. coming along quite nicely man. that compressor gives me dirty thoughts:giggle:

Thought about that....Im gonna see how the car is at first then go from there. I mean i wish it was this easy but its not like im going to turn the car on and instantly make that kind of power. Its gonna take some serious dyno time and some serious patience.

And that ATI damper aint cheap either mon ami. Il be watchin this i had my nitro but i sold it a month ago, didnt want to deal with it. But i will be pushing 30lbs this spring on my 1.6 :) 1.6 FTW!

YES!!!!!!!!

Productive saturday afternoon!
Got my head back from the shop this past week so today i put it all together. I said a few swears while using the stupid valve spring comressor lol. I put my stock cams in because i prolly wont receive my Kelford cams till next month and im ready to start the car up this week. Also had my buddy fab up this little block off plate for my intake manifold. Gonna grab a head gasket this week and start buttoning everything up!

Cant wait to see this thing runnin! I think this is going to inspire me to build my motor.....Who have you been using for a machine shop? Did you ever get in on that begi IM group buy?

+1

I had Accurate Machine in middletown machine my head. A&M Machine on behind Carquest on East Main St machined my block. I didnt let either of them assemble anything, i dont trust anyone but myself. lol. I did not get in on the BEGI group buy, i still want to see dyno numbers with that thing. Im not convinced its worth it.

How come you used two different machine shops? Which one was better? I've seen that one off east main, I figured you had used them..

Ahh noobie question. Whats the point of putting the block off plate on the throttle body?

that is a factory coolant bypass area to heat the intake manifold for winter temps in cold climates... easier startup, and emissions.

hes just removing it

Good question! The lead guy at A&M's brother, races spec miatas. He has the bodyshop next to Teds. He's been doing miata blocks for him for years so i figured, he'd be my best bet.

Accurate in middletown is known for doing nasty head work for great prices fast fast turn around times.

What he said. lol

good luck man!

Made some great progress with the couple free hours i had tonight, head studs in! head gasket! Head on! t-belt on! acc pullys and belt on!

Is there a reason with all this work you don't seem to be doing a coolant reroute? Or did I miss something.

Turbo isnt water cooled. Oil drain line, i/c pipe and coolant hose all fit perfect. I had to change the lower rad hose and get a little crafty, but otherwise, no need for a reroute.

I think he was refering to the reroute since coolant flow in our motors is not the best.....I think its cyl 4 that has a tendancy to run hot which can sometimes cause detonation. With the reroute, the coolant flow is redirected and helps keep cylinder temps down/even

So after carefully hand building my entire engine for the past 3 months, i went to start it and it wouldnt turn over. lol This was due partially to my working 11 hrs then coming home and putting in another 3 hrs until 9pm. I was so tired i infact that i bolted the cas 180 degrees in the wrong direction. I fixed this issue after looking at the engine for 2 min today lol. What a difference not being dead tired makes lol. Turned the stupid cas 180 degrees to its normal position and the car fired up like a never even took the motor out! Good oil pressure, no leaks, no bad smells. Im very please, turbo blanket, dp wrap and beefy wires are on the way.....

Damn you I was thinking about paint my engine orange. Don't think it would look good with the black cherry pearl I made but whatever. Everything looks great

LOL my engine is red dude, the camera on my droid just sucks dick.

Oh, I thought you were a Florida Gators fan for a minute there.

i should have asked for a ride in this last night :(

I love your buddies familia btw.

That familia could run 11's with his eyes closed, then hit a auto x course and tear the shit outta that. My car is still nothing to write home about, still breaking her in and still waiting for my cams. Prolly only around 300hp as it sits.

Crank it up!

Get a friend to do an in car vid too with you driving!

300whp is my goal, but with a smaller turbo.

Yeah im only at 15 psi now, what a blast to drive ill tell you, lights up my 225 gforce radials like im on ice. ill get some vids up asap.

Please!

Edit: that's bullshit it was working before. Fixed. ahaa.

Tinypic fail.... :vash:

I DEMAND good quality videos I can masturbate to.

says the man with crappy photobucket videos:jerkit:

:fawk:

At least I have videos. Half the gays here haven't posted so much as 1

Torsen is sitting on my garage floor, if I get a couple spare hours this week ill put it in, then I promise some 20 psi videos over the weekend for sure!

Wait what the fuck? How did I miss this build when your around the corner from me. Great another beast miata in CT that puts mine to shame. I'm probably gonna have the worst miata out of everyone when we all meet

------> nope that would be me <-----

I feel like that all the time....seriously

Mean while all of yours put mine to shame in the looks department lol. I wish i was a cool lookin widebody.....boo for me. lol

I'll trade ya!

OK guys, I fucked up big time. Saturday night I started the torsen swap at about 6pm (alone with the car on Jack stands). Every nut and bolt broke my balls the whole time. Finally finished up around 830 or so. After picking up some royal purple and filling up the diff I had to take it for a quick spin (without a camera of course). I pull outta my street, and get onto the highway near by. Cars running great at 15psi, new Diff feels great. I'm cruising along nice and slow when what pulls up next to me? A 2007 Carrera S with a GT3 body package, I just about shit myself. Im thinking "Well, lets really see if you know how to build a car Chris....." We slow down to about 50, I down shift into 3rd, he takes the hit. I slam the pedal down, door to freaking door 3rd and 4th gears. Finally he starts pulling me in 5th at around 100mph or so. By 125mph he put 2 car lengths on me. I was wicked pumped about how my little car held up against an expensive ass super car like that. Any how, moral of the story, turn boost up before you test drive and always record test drives.......boo for my fail!
