Your turbo is clocked too far counterclockwise based on fitment of water lines, FYI

Check PPF height per FSM. That will affect exhaust fit.

Yaknow, that does make sense. I'll have to clock it clockwise and move the wastegate actuator over. That's how I had it originally, and I moved it for some reason.

Lol, another ~6 month gap in updates. To catch up to present time, I put about ~600 miles on the car with the turbo installed. Very impressed with everything, I've had almost no issues. That's about 1600 miles on the engine total, so far.
I installed the AC delete hose a few months ago: Attachment 234969 Got some cool stuff for Christmas from my girlfriend. Revlimiter oil cap and a rechargable/hangable LED work light, it's sweet! Attachment 234970 Attachment 234971 Attachment 234972 I also dropped my transmission thinking I had a rear main seal leak.. but I should have looked around before diving in. I'm pretty sure its just the CAS o ring, or potentially the valve cover gasket. Looks dry! Attachment 234973 Looks to be dripping onto the reroute spacer: Attachment 234974 And dripping onto the transmission.. Attachment 234975 I also ordered a blackbird fabworx roll bar, should be here soon after some mixups. Lastly, with some help from a buddy we fabricated a 3" into (2) 2.5" exhaust. Sounds very mellow and civilized at low rpm. A bit droney right at 3k. MUCH quieter than the straight pipe dumping at the rear subframe that I had before. Bumper is just rough cut (tin snips for a quick cut, I'll finalize with a little dremel cutoff wheel soon) Check it: Attachment 234976 Attachment 234977 |
Digging the center exit exhaust! Car will be proper mean with the BF Roll Bar installed!

Thanks man! I'll definitely post some pictures after the roll bar install. Should be in the next week or two depending one when I can get help. For the moment, here's a sweet picture of Bethlehem Cars & Coffee from Sunday, it was huge, something like 2,000 cars over the course of the day.

heh, updates? I did eventually get that roll bar in ;)
Attachment 234961 Attachment 234962 Dual exhaust, the center exit was way too droney. Attachment 234963 Fixed the leaky boundry engineering front crank seal Attachment 234964 And installed a tablet for Spotify / Navigation / Gauges Attachment 234965 See ya in another year |
Can you update us on what you did for DP fitment? Did the PPF adjustment work? I am having the same issue.
Also, what lower radiator hose are you using for clearance with the hot side FM lower IC pipe? |
Bro deetzzz on the tablet? That looks fantastic!

But to be honest, it would have been way easier (and probably cost the same, maybe a little more) to just a get a double DIN Android head unit. Something that's Android Auto / Car Play compatible. I spent nearly $400 on this set up and it ends up overheating on warm days (80+ degrees, I don't have AC). I even put a fan behind it. I need to figure out a cooling solution for it. Here's some pics of the project though: https://photos.app.goo.gl/HgYa7Y2BvMNYJkA6A |

What engine mounts are you using? I have a feeling it has something to do with engine mounts. I'm using the Supermiata "hybrid" mounts. Anyway, I ended up just smacking the shit out of the downpipe, and then beating in some of the trans tunnel. My downpipe is pretty ovaled from hitting it. It fits fine now, though.
Sure man, It's a Samsung Galaxy Tab A 8" 32 GB, using an app called AutoMate. It runs to a Sound Ordnance M100-2 100W x 2 amp that is mounted behind the glovebox. It sounds pretty good. I mounted the tablet with two simple aluminum strips and some velcro.

I've already started beating the shit out of my firewall, but i think i will have to start bending up the DP as well. What about the lower hose for the radiator ? |
My bad I meant to answer you, I'm using FM's rad hose too.
https://www.flyinmiata.com/fm-lower-radiator-hose.html I had all of this leftover since I ran a FM turbo kit originally. |
Thanks! ordered the hose.

That fuel tank/sender looked pretty scary. I would have been tempted to swap everything out.
Rollbar looks awesome! |

Hello? Is this thing on?
I'm trying to rip around New Jersey Motorsports Park later this year at the Miata Reunion so I'm trying to track prep the car. Sorry for the massive pics I don't remember how to scale them, lol New fuel pump. Attachment 234954 New pump wiring: Attachment 234955 New regulator Attachment 234956 Seats and harnesses: Attachment 234957 (Not sure if theyre gonna fit pls see https://www.miataturbo.net/race-prep...9/ lol) Oh and I bought a new daily in 2019. It was a 2018 leftover. Attachment 234958 Attachment 234959 Attachment 234960 |
You changed those soft fuel lines going to the pump hanger while you were in there, righttt?
Love the hatch btw |
Yaknow, I didn't. But its probably not a bad idea to replace those since theyre 25 years old at this point.
