Few pictures from today. The engine should be finished up in the next couple of weeks.
|
wow that is beautiful man...what kind of power are you looking to make with this new setup?
|
The goal is 380-400 on 92 octane pump gas and then 450+ using water/meth injection.
|
Holy fuck! Someday I need to get me a ride in one of these 400hp+ miatas. I can't even imagine it.

Finally got the old engine and transmission pulled. Now it's time to clean up the engine bay and make a little space....
|
Can we get more pics of that manifold? That looks nice.

Weld that flange back up. Any tubular manifold I have ever seen with a cut flange cracks!!! In-order to move at the flange something in the manifold has to give.... Usually a weld.
|
that engine you took out looks brand new, nice pics of looped lines as well
|
DAMN! your car is fucken SICK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I put the back portion of the exhaust on today. Looks better than I thought it would, can't wait to hear it.
|
I cant wait to hear it too. Let me know before you start it so I can step outside and listen for it. ;) Hate that mad tyte JDM crooked exhaust look though. I would have to weld it differently if possible. Even if I had to make a nasty S bend with the piping. That exhaust gives the car a mean look though. Dont let any small children or midgets walk behind your car while you rev.
|
I like your old turbo and old exhaust better, but...

Should be finishing up with the engine sometime next week. Ended up getting into it quite a bit deeper than I wanted to. I believe I have everything I need to finish it except a quality head gasket. Ordered the 3.63 gears yesterday so they will be going into the new rear end with the clutch type lsd. I will order a 44mm Tial wastegate this week and that should be all the parts I need to acquire unless I do a coolant reroute. Anyways, here's a few pictures of what arrived in the mail this past week. Some new gauges and the FM Level 2 Frankenclutch happy meal (their clutch was on back order so I went with the ACT).
|
That manifold is HOT. Tell us more! Where did you get it? I havent seen too many reputable external wastegate manifolds from the vendors, though maybe I havent searched hard enough. I have a Turbonetics gate I'd probably use myself, but exhaust manifolds are a little touchy IMO for my level of cut, weld, and fab.
|
The manifold is just a homemade external gate manifold. Nothing special about it and could be duplicated pretty easily.
|
What kind of turbo shroud/heat cover was that in the pictures, please?
