Did you get a new pinion spacer with the new gearset? Or are you talking about the crush washer? (The collar with a bulge on it...)

I`m STILL waiting on new bearings. Should be here today as long as Posten.no hasn`t gone on easter holiday yet.

 

Sorry, my bad. I reused the spacers/shims form the old pinion hf-mx5t allso did that on his diff. It is the crush washer that I got with the set from Miataroadster. Posten is not the fastest on earth, but hope you get them today. Nice to have something to do during easter.

 

Hooked up the oil coolers and the oil thermostat. And started on the ducting to the coolers and air box.









Had to change the fuel lines. Have an external fuel pressure regulator so I had to remove the original one an run a new line to the engine bay. Not my finest work, but it wil hopefully work. Used the free spase where the original lines go. Easy running the new line, but a bitch to hook it all up under the car.

 

On your fuel line, be very careful with copper and vibration. I've had these break on me. Personally, I would use steel or aluminum. If you stick with copper, secure the heck out of it -- don't let anything put a vibrating load on it.

 

I have used all the original clips allong the underside of the car. Should not be any or mutch vibration.

 

Got the intake manifold back from level grinding today. Hopefully it will be all welded together by the weekend

 

Modified the M-tuned fuel rail. The return outlet was a bit off so it was moved more to the midle to get more even pressure to the injectors.







Not mutch left on the intake manifold. A lot of grinding, cutting and welding.

 

Some serious piping from the air filter

 

This build is just sick!!

So, Vikings can build boats and Miatas, eh?

 

Thanks.

Well we do try our best

 

it kinda looks like you stole my design i like it :P

 

You two need to have a photoshoot of the two cars as well as videos of the two cars together.

It would be the single most masturbated to video on the internet. You'd probably get 10,000 views from me alone

 

I have nooooooooooo idea what you are talking about

 

There will probably be some (a shitload) of pictures when its done.

Iīll sponser you some paper tishues

 

When weīr not building we do like to have some fun

 

good demonstration on the level of overkill with theese guys.

the potatocannon is using ls2 coils.

"If it's worth doing, it's worth overdoing"

 

Got the pictures blocked by webcoat, but the talk of "having fun", "masturbating", "potato cannon" and "doing" really doesn't make me wanna check this thread when I get home :P

Looking forward to checking this beauty out tonight!

 

Long time no pictures. But here is a few.

Started welding intercooler pipes, and a new throtle body. Using wiggins (well it is actually fake wiggins, Pegasus. Not willing to pay over $500 a pop for 4") on all the piping.











Airfilter to turbo is done. Just need to paint the turbo black.





Modified the water lines to get them further away from the exhaust manifold and make better room for the downpipe from the wastegate. Added some weld in bungs ++

 

Sick build. Subscribed

 

Had to redesign the ducting for the oil coolers but they look better now and clear the front bumper. Just not looking forward to paint the suckers inside.









Ducting for the radiator







Some home made cones for the piping from the turbo to the intercooler.







Pipe from the turbo to the intercooler all compleeted. Quite a lot of grinding as well hehe. Just have to paint everything black.
