Hello

Been a lurker for some time now and only recently started the turbo build.

How I bought the car (100% stock):



How it sits today:











Power test with a Cobalt Muffler, badly tuned MS3 and a GoodwinRacing intake:




Earlier this year I bought an ACT clutch kit and a Kraken TD04 kit with 2.5' exhaust - cat and ressonator delete.






Some progress on the build, hope to have it running next month:

 

Welcome to The Forum. Nice looking car. Are you in Spain?

 

thanks bro. Portugal actually. Right next to Spain, not spain! rofl

 

I am really digging the black. It makes me wish my blue turd was black.

 

Well my low expectations turned out not so low afterall. With 10psi boost I may be closer to the 250bhp mark than I thought. Will have to do a dyno run soon to kill my curiosity.

 

Nice car, looks clean!

 

Stupid clean.

 

love the stack gauges in the center

 

thanks guys. A friend joined me the other day...still not enouth power to beat him on a straight line...

I dig this car, a lot. You should get clear side markers and indicators for the extra clean.

 

Nice install. Do you have any videos running the td04?

any pictures of the intake without the top shroud on?

 

there you go:

 

Nice looking car, welcome aboard.

 

Had some fun last night with some friends (forged turbo'd NA, Forged turbo'd NB and a ITB'd NBFL). First time testing the setup on canyon roads and I must say the car changed a lot, I barely touch the gear lever now! haha

 

Your car looks really clean man. With the turbo you can generally just keep it in the same gear on canyons. Since it has so much more power all over the place. Stock miata's you have to flog the crap out of them. lol

 

Hello guys,

under light throttle at low revs my car is not very smooth and actually bogs down a bit.

I understand this might have to do with the VVT tune. Does anyone have any suggestion regarding this issue? Anyone running a VVT motor had this issue and how did you fix it?

 

Post a log of it happening and a copy of your tune. It may just be accel enrichment or something basic like that.

 

will do

My brakes need upgrading!
