Wanted to thank everyone for your help with my several questions i had and I'm sure will continue to have with my build. The overall goal of my project is to be at the top of the horsepower/weight ratio for my time attack group which should be around ~150whp.

The following is what i currently have on the my list. Please point out anything I'm missing. Thanks again.

Turbo
Garrett TB2522
BEGI cast baffled manifold
BEGI stainless separated gas downpipe with extra o2 bung
BEGI Intercooler, piping, & bov
Turbo oil supply fitting
Turbo oil supply line, stainless
Turbo oil drain line, stainless
Engine oil supply fitting
Engine oil drain fitting
Turbo water supply fitting
Turbo water supply line
Turbo water drain fitting
Turbo water drain line
Manual boost controller (recommendations?)
1.8L Injectors or bigger
ECU
Innovate wideband and gauge
Mega squirt PNP (Brain built)
Coolant reroute
BEGI Spacer
BEGI Block off plate
Kia waterneck
GM Hose
Oil cooler
Flyin Miata thermostat kit
Cooler
Lines

Ill take any recommendations you guys send my way, thanks all.

 

In before someone else points it out - why did your MSPNP need to be assembled, and who is Brian?

 

to be honest i didnt research building it myself... how much do i stand to save if i do it myself? I assume there is a good amount of write ups?

I dont know what youre talking about.... ninja edit

 

MSPNP comes fully assembled, hence the name. It's the MS for we unwashed, solder-averse types. Did you mean DIYPNP?

sorry i guess i did realize there were two different version of PNP. Can i ask the retarded *** question as to what is the difference? They both seem to be the same price?

getting it built by Scott or buying pre-assembled

 

well the budget part went to ---- but here is some more info (also for some reason i cant edit my first post). I didnt do the coolant reroute or the oil cooler. Installed a water temp gauge coming right off the back of the head (temps dont exceed 215). I deleted the heater core and plumb right back into the mixing manifold. Oil temps are fine, reading off the drain plug.

So here are a few of the dyno graphs. Dotted line is after e85 solid line is before e85, 40 HP difference and a crap load more boost. We could have gone further but the actuator was too weak. We actually exceeded the limitations of the turbo and the injectors were at only 80% utilization. Boost went from ~10 PSI to ~17 PSI.

In order to keep in my Time Attack group (TA-B which is a 10/1 power to weight ratio) we had to reduce the horse power to 224.9.

 

I was going to mention budget and time attack don't really go hand in hand. But I guess you found that out already

Nice power numbers! Should be fun!
