Your design helped make this, so I thought I'd return the favor.

You just have to know where to look ;)

^ that is yours when I was building it.

After seeing your exhaust manifold work I am really looking forward to seeing this intake manifold build. Do you have a time line for it?

Lol, I meant the exhaust manifold...

I think both of the last two pictures are for my car. :D

Yes, Erin. Check your e-mail.

Talking to me?


I have a dyno coming to my shop for a day on May 1. So i NEED to have the car done by then!


basically all i need is intake manifold, charge piping and a downpipe to do though. as well as wiring the new sensors into the AEM for the VVT swap.


I am also having the tuner do my S14 with s14SR, power FC and n60 maf... new daily... which im hoping to make ~260-270 out of.

Glad I could help.
Thanks for the link, but im going to try to find a supplier like that in canada to save on shipping. If not, i will use this.

yeah!

Cool! I hope to be done it in ~3 weeks to give time to do the rest of the build as well as prepping the s14.

Pics of said s14? Sill this be the new sideways driver? If so what will the original project become?

not sideways driver... daily i cant blow it up ahah.

needs kouki spoiler.


miata will still slide and when i upgrade brakes i hope to do some solo 1, time attack wtv its called.

No work on the miata this weekend, but I did make a mid pipe for a Toyota soarer with a 1jz.

I have the week off, so im going to get some stainless for my intercooler mount that will double as a splitter and ducting mount (wait for pure ballerness) as well as some wire so i can do the VVT wiring into the AEM box.

-New flanges will be in for the downpipe and screamer pipe so i can finish those off Thursday.
-Intercooler piping should be in later this week, i will be able to complete the hot pipe for now.
-Ross parts and head flange have cleared customs and i hope are in for this week so i can get a solid start on that.


Super Excite!!!

Parts I picked up today!
Attachment 190006
-4x ross machine velocity stacks
-4' ross machine runner material
-tial vband outlet for the turbo and wastegate
-3x o2 sensor bungs
-vband for the exhaust
-aluminum plate for the throttle body mount

Is it for a quad butt plug? Should be epic!

Of course not! He's going iRRRRRRteebeez. Duh. :P

single tee bee.
short runner intake manifold, designed for miata + boosts

I know. I have one. It was a joke, like the quad butt plug. :P <- Joking face.

Do you plan to test the stock IM and then this one separately?

Prob not.

Would require two tunes and two cold pipes.

Not willing to pay for that right now.

I think if you did and showed there are significant gains with your manifold you would be able to sell maaaany more units than without.

Have you settled on a runner length yet?

You dont need both dynos, an intake will prove its self with its torque and HP curves not dropping off like the stocker as long as its done correctly. He will have a much healthier setup, its really just math. Every intake I have built has been one off, not one of them the same so I never bothered to dyno them and everyone is very happy with their gains, with no report of any loss in low end torque thus far. Good luck man keep the pics coming.

damn.... 7" runners seem long!

Also picked up the intercooler pipes.... 3" cold, 2.5" hot.

You're not going to have issues with the fuel lines and other hardware on that side? Looks awful close to me...

http://www.boostedmiata.com/gallery2...2/DSC_0008.JPG

it fits.

but this is why I designed mine with 45° bends.

wont clear my brake propo valve... will have to redo that line.

Fuel lines are a joke. just bend them with a proper tool.

As far as the 45's.... mine is setup with a ~15-20 degree cut (didnt measure angle) at the head flange... and as you can see in the picture there is very minimal porting of the head flange needed.

This allows my runners to not be right in the frame rail like they would if they came straight off the head.

I didnt notice the RHD...

that's 7" from tip to tip, including flange and trumpets?

IIRC the pictured is 9"

that 7" doesnt include the head flange and half of the trumpet within the calcs and it is very very close to that irl. I am ~0.02 off of my design calculations.

This car should have AMAZING power from 3000/3500-redline (7500rpm) depending how fast the turbo comes on. below that i will still always be making more than peak HP of a stock miata.

Your taking your measurements from the valve right? not just the length of the runner tube. If not your calculations are wrong, just fyi. You should me measuring velocity stack or trumpet + runner + flange + head runner length center line to valve.

Work son!

Your welds? Nice very nice

Looking good, any reason you are routing your intercooler piping like that? Do you have P/S or A/C still?

thanks!

Yes, my welds. Yes power steering. limits the space to be had between the frame rail. so being that my last year setup was similar, the spot was already cut for this.

There should be no huge restriction within the charge piping now and i should be able to get north of 350 on pump when i install the pistons and rods.

Im also excited for this new gas lense kit.... allows me to get no brown haze off the stainless weld and keep the filler in the sheilding (and still see it)!

Attachment 189610

More good looking welds, and an interesting routing of the charge pipe. For some reason I keep thinking bad things will happen to it but it is highly unlikely.

How are you handling the ewg exhaust, screamer pipe?

bad things will happen how so?

i ran it like that all of last year! I will be building a mount for it to keep it from vibrating though.

EWG is going to be plumbed down to a slash cut at the bottom of the subframe.

I am not saying that anything will happen but the way it is routed makes my brain think of catastrophe.

Under normal operating or in an accident?

The metal that I cut out was as thick as the front fender. Hand bendable.

I missed these updates. Nice! Now do my piping! PM'd.

I ran my charge pipe like that once, and the only bad thing that happened would have been when a coupler blew off IN the fender so it was a major PITA to fix on the side of the road. Nothing serious.

No problem doing your piping.
I just need to prioritize this project to meet the dyno date first.

Timing is around a month right now.

half finished the cold pipe.... decided i NEED to get the intake manifold done though... im not making my deadline of the 1st anyways.

off to make the throttle plate, hack the runners down a hair and start the plenum tonight.


This is the working version of a part i hope to produce. I am having CAD drawings of all of the parts made so I can make another 10 of them post dyno results.


Edit: 949 posts ;)

MOAR PICS or BAN

dont have any.

This floor (and family time) took my long weekend.
Attachment 189358

thats a pic with a kitty no less. no ban.


although it appears you need central heat.

Canadians don't need heat.

I also wasted my long weekend building the laundry room instead of tracking. So sad, but the weather sucks.

Word. I need to get cracking on my car... I know it... im just frustrated with it and lazy right now.

Plans would be nice to setup 10 production Vband turbo manifolds as well. Building them with 1.25" piping and 1.5" wastegate elbow.
Design will match my current manifold.

Starting my next turbo manifold in my down time while waiting for parts for my car.

right now its looking like it will be a 1.8 manifold in 1.25" shed 10 pipe with tial Vband inlet flange and ms-v. top mount ramhorn style. if anyone wants it, let me know. finish will be natural fine with the casting sanded off.

Wiring done, just need to connect at the aem ems.
Also need to loom it.

Don't forget to duct the front end and do the tie rod boots ;)

Looks good, what is the solenoid thing on the passenger side fire wall?

Ems based boost control.

I remember way back you were looking for some firewall plugs. I found a set that works! I ordered them from this guy on ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...IF%3AUS%3A1123

They took close to a month to arrive, but they fit perfect.

So good. thanks dude i will measure what i need and order some up!

will work great as grommets for my wire tuck.

Yah man- enjoy. Earl's actually sells premade grommets to run wire loom, I was browsing the site in my searches and stumbled accross them.

Car is fun to drive, but im bored of working on it (recently).

One of three thing may happen:

1. Part out and have money in the bank/ sell civic and get a nice daily.
2. Finish it on whatever time i feel like working on it.
3. Wait for a year and see how i feel then.

the whole driving an hour each way to work on it is annoying and probably the limiting factor on this mindset.

God dammit, I'm sick of people parting out build threads. I realize you may have your reasons, but for fucks sake, look ahead. What do you think is going to happen to your patience if you have build plans that might take up to a year, and a 2 hour commute to work on your car. You have three options:

1. move it closer
2. finish it enough to drive, and tinker at home when you have time.
3. buy me a plane ticket, buy me a baseball bat, and I'll come beat you over the head until you choose option 1 or 2.

it could be me right now...

been raining for over a week, im sick, been working on my civic for it to fail emissions hard last night, the miata needs an emission test and some places are dropping insurance on right hand drive cars recently....

but hey... no decisions yet... im just bummed to the max.
