MiataGarage's Build Thread
Hey I'm from Germany and new to the Forum
I'm into Miatas since 5 years now and having my own Shop in Germany for used Miata Parts and Cars. First a bit of History: Last Year i had a Customer who had a Turbo Nb Miata with lots of Parts ,but the Car was not running properly and he has spend lots of money and time into it,so he finally has had enough . The Car was build by a Shop in Germany (all in all 3 Shops tried it over the last years :hsugh: ) His proposal was : I get all the Parts when i build it back to stock with well preserved stock Parts . So i did it ......... Parts that i got from him : Build Engine (15k Miles): K1 Rods Gtr Pistons 6 Speed Transmission Hgp Turbo Manifold (German Brand ) Gt2560r Turbo Hgp Intercooler/piping Setrab Oilcooler FlyinMiata Downpipe 3" Flyinmiata Cat Flyinmiata Catback 3" K-Sport Coilovers (Special autocross edition) K-Sport 6Pistons Big Brake Kit Innovate Wideband The Headgasket has gone because of the shitty Mapping with stock ecu , a auxilary heater with kinked hoses ,no coolant reroute and the old stock radiator....no wonder ;) I bought a white 1990 1.6 Miata for this Project : http://fs1.directupload.net/images/150113/sfj8sj6m.jpg http://fs1.directupload.net/images/150113/crvh7rpr.jpg http://fs1.directupload.net/images/150113/zpp5a3l7.jpg http://fs1.directupload.net/images/150113/q96jhdlb.jpg http://fs1.directupload.net/images/150113/8j5gy4mz.jpg http://fs1.directupload.net/images/150113/i7lb9nxx.jpg http://fs1.directupload.net/images/150113/e6tjsxqo.jpg http://fs1.directupload.net/images/150113/rtetmtb6.jpg http://fs2.directupload.net/images/150113/u6zihilt.jpg http://fs2.directupload.net/images/150113/ammrjydc.jpg http://fs2.directupload.net/images/150113/ctmbjm2y.jpg http://fs1.directupload.net/images/150113/ggszky3q.jpg Pros: It was repainted a few years ago It doesn't has many Rust Cons : Technically it isn't in the best condition but that doesn't really matter Engine is burning oil Manual Steering is broken Suspension Components are broken Electric Installation is "creative " The Interior is "tuned" It has had more then ten previous Owners |
The first Thing i've done today is disassemble the Front and Rear Subframes for Powercoating and rebuild with Pu Bushings (949 Racing)

First Thing i did today was to finish the Subframes that i can give them to the Powercoater
The Hubs and Wheel Bearings will come from an Na later http://fs1.directupload.net/images/150114/zugvlurv.jpg Next Thing i did was stripping the Interior because the Carpet ,Dash and almost every other Part had Scratches ,was horrible painted or broken. Electronic installation was just as bad Many Cables led to Nowhere. I'm swapping in a complete 94 1.8 Harness in it and fix the other Stuff http://fs2.directupload.net/images/150114/o5srt2y6.jpg http://fs2.directupload.net/images/150114/s4ot7ek6.jpg http://fs1.directupload.net/images/150114/8cxg29c2.jpg http://fs2.directupload.net/images/150114/zwz8hvco.jpg http://fs2.directupload.net/images/150114/823foklf.jpg http://fs2.directupload.net/images/150114/6mq88uto.jpg The Rear became a black Panel and a Kg Works Spoiler which will be painted black and mounted with rivets The old Taillights had scratches too so i changed them ;) http://fs1.directupload.net/images/150114/7jbj2mbp.jpg http://fs2.directupload.net/images/150114/ijsy3uup.jpg http://fs2.directupload.net/images/150114/oshpdd48.jpg |

When i'm finished we can meet somewhere no problem :bigtu: The Goal is to be completed by no later than end of May ,because i will take it to the Alps and Croatia this Summer . |
Some new Parts arrived :
Stiffer Motor Mounts 71C° Thermostat Cometics Head Gasket New Valve Gasket Used Gtr Valve Cover (very rare here ) So i decided to take the engine apart to do the Hg job and stuff The Head will be machined down next week ,because of the shitty Cr Ratio of the Gtr Pistons. I don't know the exact Cr Ratio ,some say 7,8:1 ,some 8,2:1 !? The Pistons are from a Mazda 323 Bg Gtr (familia in the US i think ) http://fs1.directupload.net/images/150116/slu4tbkk.jpg http://fs2.directupload.net/images/150116/4dn7x5l5.jpg http://fs1.directupload.net/images/150116/chczfqwj.jpg http://fs1.directupload.net/images/150116/bkwstp83.jpg http://fs1.directupload.net/images/150116/5sbcw6n7.jpg http://fs2.directupload.net/images/150116/8c9qm4kv.jpg http://fs2.directupload.net/images/150116/lmgehl94.jpg http://fs1.directupload.net/images/150116/vl2bafv2.jpg http://fs1.directupload.net/images/150116/52svnz46.jpg I definetly need a new Camera :D |
I'm swapping in the complete Harness of a 1994 1.8 Na like i said ,so the Camshafts ,all sensors etc. will come from an 1.8 Na
I'm going with a Ms pnp3 ecu wise. The biggest problem in this Build will be fucking german Tüv :fawk: |
Specs of the Engine at the moment:
K1 Rods Gtr Pistons Arp Studs and Bearings Rx8 Injectors Gt2560r Garett Hgp Manifold Fm stage 1 Clutch The Rest is unknown........ Plans : 550cc Injectors or 1000cc (if i do an e85 map) aem fuel rail Fuel Pump 255 Walbro or Bosch 400 Lightweight Flywheel coolant reroute oilfilter relocation Parts around the Engine will be powercoated too Power Goal is between 250-300whp Engine was dynoed at 257 crank hp |
What do you Guys think about a water/air intercooler in the Engine Bay ?
Apart from the Complexity of such a Setup it should only have benefits i think..... As i said the Nb Turboconversion was originally a complete HGP Kit with a gt2554 Turbo The only Thing changed is the Gt2560r now It has a tiny fmic intercooler wich isn't PnP in an Na Modell...so i'm thinking about a Upgrade . The Radiator will be a Mishimoto 3 Row with a shroud and 2 Fans |
Someone will be along shortly to convince you not to go water/air intercooler. I will say though that you shouldn't do it. There are plenty of good affordable intercoolers that will be a better choice.
What are you doing for engine management? What are the laws in Germany in regards to aftermarket engine management? |
