My turbo MX-5
 
3 Attachment(s)
I’ve been here four years and seen all kinds of failing. So here it is. My turn to success… on failing :bigtu:


https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1337476711
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)

https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1337476711
Bore & hone. ARP bolts, ACL bearings, the usual...

SGI rods with 84mm 9.5:1 Supertechs

oil return

http://www.miata.fi/gallery/index.ph...MjI0NmE4YjA3NA
Engine back in.

https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1337476711
ebay IC stuff. Garrett GT2560r from Nissan S15 Silvia and ARTech Ramhorn Top Mount manifold :noes:

http://www.miata.fi/gallery/index.ph...ODAyYzg2Y2RjZA

http://www.miata.fi/gallery/index.ph...MGFhZDY2MTg1YQ
looks nice

http://www.miata.fi/gallery/index.ph...jExN2RlODU4MjA
Waterpump neck didn’t fit with that ARTech manifold so I had to modify that a little

http://www.miata.fi/gallery/index.ph...zNjOTkxMjViY2Q
now it fits

http://www.miata.fi/gallery/index.ph...DM0ZTY4MjcxN2Q
Then we made a downpipe. 3.5” of course

http://www.miata.fi/gallery/index.ph...GU5YWMyMzE4MDA
heat wrapped it and then to the oven

http://www.miata.fi/gallery/index.ph...2MwNzkyMjQ4ZjY
Everything ready here

http://www.miata.fi/gallery/index.ph...UyMzQxNjA1ZWZi
...aand all ready here as well.

http://www.miata.fi/gallery/index.ph...zZhOWE3ZDIxYTY
Yes its 3.5" from downpipe to the end :jerkit:

How is it that you have so much time invested in your engine, but still rock a "style bar"?

muoto 05-19-2012 10:08 PM

I know :facepalm: i'm working on it! M2 Hard Dog rollbar maybe...

and who gives a fu*k about style bar when car sounds like this:

Thank you but I’m not really a fabricator. All credits go to a guy named Mikael Norrgård. He’s the one who made that downpipe and exhaust.

And 18psi thanks for the IC hotside pipe routing. I copied it from your old build thread. :)

Very nice setup, from the front plate mount to the 3.5" tip.

Where did you get the material for the heat shields?

it's just some random stainles steel sheet that we cut to fit

Nice work muoto. +1 for the pink dip stick!
Can you post a sound clip for the exhaust?

I got my EBC working today. Now it's spooling ok.

https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1337631510

https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1337631510
150kPa(7,25psi) @ 2700rpm
200kPa(14,5psi) @ 3300rpm

Ign.timing is still super safe as you may notice. 17deg BTDC at redline.

that's some nice spool, but then again, it's a GT2560 with a 3.5" exhaust

Spool seems to be almost as good, if not the same as GT2560 setups with short tubular manifold. I’m really happy with it. EFR 6258 is going in when I get money for it. That is the reason I have 3” v-band flange in the downpipe.

More videos is coming when I get to track :skid:

In the meantime, few random pictures:

https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1337752590
I have one extra o2 port so I put my stock narrowband sensor there. Adaptronic read both at the same time

https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1337752590
Heat shield for my air filter. I hope that it’s going to block most of the hot air coming from radiator.

https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1337752590
I changed my fuel&ign maps from 500cell resolution to 250cells. Idle is now hundred times better

https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1337752590
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/

Do like, waiting to test drive it.
