My turbo MX-5
I’ve been here four years and seen all kinds of failing. So here it is. My turn to success… on failing
Here was the starting point. 230whp coldside setup. Had to sell it for the turbo parts (Yeah I know. It could have been awesome to try some kind a twincharge setup)
Bore & hone. ARP bolts, ACL bearings, the usual...
SGI rods with 84mm 9.5:1 Supertechs
oil return
Engine back in.
ebay IC stuff. Garrett GT2560r from Nissan S15 Silvia and ARTech Ramhorn Top Mount manifold
looks nice
Waterpump neck didn’t fit with that ARTech manifold so I had to modify that a little
now it fits
Then we made a downpipe. 3.5” of course
heat wrapped it and then to the oven
Everything ready here
...aand all ready here as well.
Yes its 3.5" from downpipe to the end
And here we are.
One self made turbo setup Took me 5 months to finish

More videos is coming when I get to track
In the meantime, few random pictures:
I have one extra o2 port so I put my stock narrowband sensor there. Adaptronic read both at the same time
Heat shield for my air filter. I hope that it’s going to block most of the hot air coming from radiator.
I changed my fuel&ign maps from 500cell resolution to 250cells. Idle is now hundred times better
I tend to test my ecu changes with VirtualDyno program to see if there are any gains. Cool little program. Thread about program here: https://www.miataturbo.net/ecus-tuning-54/virtual-dyno-59374/
