New purchase....
https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1337977990 GReddy Manifold (with relief cuts) GReddy Intake pipe GReddy Downpipe T70 Hyrbid Turbo (brand new never been fitted) Intercooler Intercooler Hard Pipes (originally imported from the US) Blitz BOV w/ silicone pipe Heat Shields Jackson Racing Fuel Pressure Regulator ++ PLEASE READ ++ The T70 Turbo is from a company called XS Power (previous owner imported it from the US). Some say its a cheap chinese Turbo,but research has shown there was problems upto 2008,but NOTHING since then. The instructions included are in english,no sign of any Chinese. I keep getting told different things,so i'm gonna go on my OWN accord,and use this turbo. If it goes bang,it goes bang! From talking to the seller (local MX5OC member,who knows what hes on about!) said he used the standard GReddy kit on his Mk1 on stock management and it drove absolutely fine! I know if i want to turn the boost up,i'll need bigger injectors etc etc and i'll need a stand alone ECU (Megasquirt),but this will be my first turbo'd car. I'll be starting off low PSi and build up from there. He used the kit on his car for months,so just proves nothing is wrong with doing it that way :) https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1337977990 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1337977990 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1337977990 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1337977990 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1337977990 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1337977990 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1337977990 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1337977990 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1337977990 |
Greddy manifold is T2 footprint, correct? What flange is the chinese turbo?
Greddy downpipe is horrible, scrap it. |
Turbo is a T3/T4 flange. The old turbo (half of it still attached to Manifold) is a TD04

How are you planning on using that manifold with that chinese turbo. By they way, the turbine flange is "T3" not T3/T4. T3/T4 is a style of turbo. T3 and T4 flanges different from one another. |
I'm most concerned with the shear amount of piping that came with the kit. There must be 10 feet of intercooler pipes there.

Its what was in the box when i bought it,whether it all fits i'm not sure. But chances are there will be left over pipe work
Painted the headlight covers in Black Stone Chip to match the Superlites https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1338132031 Also stripped the blown turbo off the manifold and trial fitted the new turbo to make sure it fits ok https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1338132031 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1338132031 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1338132031 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1338132031 Also fitted a Garrett T25 to the manifold to make sure that would fit aswell (with the studs removed,it would fit proply). I know if i used a T25 i'd need a new downpipe made https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1338132031 Heres the condition of the Garrett https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1338132031 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1338132031 The crack runs right down the housing (couldnt get a clear enough photo) Also should be picking this up from Law on MX5 Nutz https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1338132031 Should save the money and hassle of getting a new downpipe made to match the rest of the exhaust system :) Just oil lines,air filter,retard the timing and it'll be ready to fit! |
good luck trying to spool.
|
I'm confused on what I'm seeing.
|
Ignore the T25,that was laying about and wanted to check the fitment
The T70 fits on the Manifold and Downpipe fine |
How does your supposed T3 flanged chinese "T70" fit fine on the T2 greddy manifold?
And how does the downpipe designed for a td04 fit the T70???? And why are you using a downpipe that's only 2" in diameter???? |
Now purchased a Garrett T25 and a flange to weld onto the Downpipe.
With the timing retarded 6deg BTDC,wideband and boost gauge. Can i run this set up at 4-5psi on stock management? |
aw, I miss the days of static timing retard and 130rwhp.

Want to start at 4-5psi to get used to boost,i only use the car at weekends so it wont be used a great deal.
So it is possible use it this way,just the life of the engine could be decreased the harder i drive it (depending on the psi) ? |

Had a member from MX5 Nutz come over today to fit and tune the Megasquirt ECU,heres a lil video:
Mazda MX5 Turbo - YouTube MASSIVE smiles all round! Extremely pleased with how it runs and drives! Just need abit more fine tuning in Tuner Studio and she'll be perfect :D |
I'm liking the look of your car a LOT. I'm just not sure about the fighter plane mouth on the side. Homage to Rusty slammington?

Huh. A bondo-colored car. Overall a little CR ish, but it actually looks pretty cool. Nice move getting MS right away -- right choice VS. stock and hoping not to blow it up.
Edit to add: You had different taillights in the original picture. Can you get rid of the black borders on the ones in your first pics? Without the black borders I'd really like them... or black borders on, say, a white or black car. Anyway, pretty cool looking. What brand are they? |
By CR-ish i take it you mean the wheels/suspension? Everything else is practical?
|
Mainly the fitment and camber of the wheels and tires, but just the style as a whole, I mean, you've clearly got a race interior but the rest of your car isn't set up for racing, just a distinctive looking street car. it isn't really cohesive as a car. But it looks like you're heading that way, ish.
I do think the wheels are a cool style though. Looks pretty sick on the dyno. |
so what exact turbo did you end up with?
|
Understandale! Getting a new exhaust system 2.5" turbo back made this week. Then next month i'll be swapping the cheap ebay coilovers to some Meister-R Zeta-S
I'm running a Garrett T25 |

Wow what a transformation! Remember seeing this on Driftworks, very cool.
How'd you find the MS2 installation process? Fairly simple? I want to do the same to mine |
