Whats up guys... long time lurker short time owner, shorter time builder.... I tore the car apart early January 2017 and so far this is what has happened... time for a picture dump... this is just what I have on my computer as I get bored from time to time I will add more....
Basics are, 10.5:1 Wisecos, Manley Rods, stock MSM head, B18 intake manifold, briggsmotorsports custom manifold, MSPNPPro, PTE 6266, ID1700x's, VP X98 fuel, TurboII trans, getrag rear end... Let me know if you have any questions I guess haha |
Sub'd. Looks epic.

Only something like this could come from an area surrounded by NASCAR... ;)

Get rid of the Turbo II transmission as soon as you can. It won't hold up long above 500whp or so.

Both actually.
|
Care to share? what would you recommend in place of the Turbo II... there are RX's making more than 550 on the stock trans lol
|
An RX-7 at 550whp will probably have around 330tq or something like that. A Miata will make 420-440tq at the same power level, and will snap the input shaft.
Ps. I've seen the same failure on RX-7s at ~450whp, when driven hard. |
looks like the start of an awesome build.
Do you anticipate a packaging issue which is forcing you to go water-air on the intercooler? |

Nice,, this is exactly what i wanted to see someone doing - What are your power goals?
If the TII won't hold up - what's the solution for that? All reasons why i didnt want to do this. |
Your compression is much lower than I would have gone for your fuel and head. You will have no need for anything more than a FMIC.

Waiting for the outcome.
Really looking forward to seeing this finished.
It's been a long haul, has it not? |
I think I saw a thread on facebook about this build. I have a feeling that Forrest (and reverant) scared him away from Miataturbo.

Ps. I've seen the same failure on RX-7s at ~450whp, when driven hard. Miata's have more torque with having more rotating mass @ similar rpm 8600,@600hp = 380ish torque, anyway looks like an interesting build. |
Yeah, I was looking forward to following this build. Bummer the OP stopped posting when folks offered advice and criticism from experience...
The Facebook rant was pretty funny. |
sorry, guys... I didn't leave because of anything on here, in fact I welcomed the advise... but any who... its a pain in the ass to get pics from my phone to a computer and onto here... want updates? go look at fb
