Talking Roadster Build

Hi,

My Name's Tony, i come from Quebec and im a member of Mx-3 Quebec ( A Club dedicated to Mazda's )

After reading alot on the website and looking for alot of info's i decided to mod my Eunos Roadster

My paint is sucky but ill repaint it after my Turbo Project. Here some pics of it.
Its a 1990 NA

Anyways, its pretty clean and beside the paint... i think the car is perfect, No Rust at all for a 20 years old car its nice.

Anyways, lets talk about the B6-T project.

First of all, i dont want it to be a rocket or something like that. My goals are about 200whp, good Handling and normal suspension, i dont want a Drag Monster.

I've runned 16.3 Stock with it... i could do better but anyways...

I started up by buying a used T25 and few things with it... got em all in a bundle for really cheap so i could refuse... So thats what i have so far.

Megasquirt Full equiped + Harness (Maybe from Here )
OBX Manifold, (Ebay)

Im still looking for some infos about my Exaust Line cuz i want it to be 2.5" and... to be as silent as possible.

Thats it for now, just wanted to start a Topic and ill try to Update it As often as possible, i also wanted opinions about it

Also i apologize for my poor english, but i do my best

Thats it for now!
Thanks for Reading!

I have 2 new Questions,

OMG i can't clock my turbo, its like jammed as hell, do i try to break it or i could just make a rebuild in a shop for ~150$ ?

If i get A/C off my car, will it change something in the Ecu or i just have to take it off and its done?

Taking the A/C off the car won't affect anything.
Soak the turbo in penetrating oil and use a good amount of force to rotate the housings. They'll move, just take your time and don't break anything.

If you need anything for a 1.6, I just swapped BP-Z3, so I have alot of B6 parts left over.
Trying to set up megasquirt to see if i can make my engine run smooth if not i swap bp4w or Bp4w t mazdaspeed =]

If my B6ZE isnt doing it...

I will still have a StandAlone MS, ill get FM 1.8 Swap Kit + COP + Coolant Reroute.
I can get any engine tested and carfaxed, shipped free at my location (LeCavalier to my job)

So, if the 1.6 doesnt do it... ill make everything to make the car run perfect and then ill finish the body work needed.

Then ill take care of the Turbo stuff...
