Got some work done today that was turbo related. After lots of measuring to double check clearance in the bay I ended up with the below
https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1460420220 Evo 10 turbo with a 20g compressor wheel from my old evo. https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1460420220 Trying to keep the 2 scrolls isolated up to the wastegate valve face so I split some of the 1.25 Sch10 down the middle and added a divider wall Will finish that on the weekend |
That looks very close to the frame rail.

yeah i have about half an inch of clearance. It's not fully welded to the flange so i can take the runners down a bit to get some more.
I got the bearings, pistons and head gasket yesterday. Picking up the Manley rods and borrowing a ring filer tomorrow. I'm headed to orlando for a week on saturday so I need to order up a few things and get them sent to the hotel so I can button up the long block and get it in the car. https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1460943235 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1460943235 |

Flying up to Tampa tomorrow and driving over to Orlando so I ordered all the gaskets, gtx pcv valve and trigger wheel for the ATI damper from Fab9 :likecat:
Also kinda mocked the manifold in place on the 1.6 to check on the frame rail clearance https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1461381364 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1461381364 Fitting that big ass Tial 38mm wastegate down the back there is going to be....challenging |

Some updates :)
https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1463094332 Finished welding up the manifold, got some 1" plate from a friend to drill the flange bolt pattern into since my brother still has the head. https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1463094332 If only I could do this consistently after stopping to re-position https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1463094332 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1463094332 Got some 1/2" plate cut out for the turbine outlet flange. My hole saw has seen better days so I need to pick up another 2" and 2.5" to finish it. https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1463094332 Painted up the block. https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1463094332 Cleaned, oil squirters blocked and King bearings in place. Main bearing clearances ended up being 1 & 3 - 0.0020 where as 2, 4 & 5 were 0.0015. The rods all came between the 0.0015 & 0.0020 plastigauge marks so on the loose end of OEM https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1463094332 Gapped the top ring to 0.0055 and the second to 0.095 I'm supposed to get the head, oil pan and valve cover back for the weekend. Oh joy....valve stem seals |

Enlarged and added an additional breather hole https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1463444276 Tapped out the VVT feed for 1/8NPT to feed the turbo https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1463444276 Valve stem seals done. Man I hate getting the keepers back in. This week's todo list 1) weld on AN bungs to valve cover and oil pan 2)make oil pan baffle 3)locate head studs and assemble long block |

10AN bung on the oil pan https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1463948340 8AN bungs on valve cover and the start of my coil pack bracket https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1463948340 Head on :) I'll get the oil pump back from my brother tomorrow so I can button up the long block. I'll be pulling the tumbler plate crap out of the VTCS? intake manifold I have and blocking off the holes left. My 6 speed gets here end of June..I am not sure if I should bother installing the new motor with the current 5 speed and swap out when it breaks or just wait. |

Got a decent amount of work done today
https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1464561769 Coil pack mount almost complete https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1464561769 Oilpan baffle from some cut offs I had laying around https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1464561769 last piece of the baffle I still need to cut out https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1464561769 Blocked off the hole for the VTCS butterfly shaft https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1464561769 Pulled the 1.6 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1464561769 Found the differences between 1.6 motor brackets and the 1.8VVT block. I have some 1/8" stainless plate that I'll use to adapt them. The other side lines up 2 out 3 bolts. Thursday I'll pull all the rest of the shit out of the bay and degrease the crap out of it. Will be respraying it with real paint. |
Am I crazy, or is the oil pan bung on the wrong side?
|
Lmfao. You aren't crazy and apparently I have some more welding to do.

Lower coolant manifold modified. Reclocked the outlet to point down a few degress, welded the front coolant port shut and added a 6AN bung for the turbo. Notice the oil drain is on the right side now :giggle: https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1465166676 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1465166676 Fuel rail mock up. Not a whole lot of space in there. Will be picking up a 90* 6AN fitting tomorrow and get that welded in the fuel damper port https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1465166676 6AN bung on the end of the rail. I'm trying to decide if I'm going to run braided 6 from the tank or just reuse the stock feed line. https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1465166676 Wastegate placement. Need to get the motor installed to see if it will fit here. |

my cousin just dropped off my new all in one AC unit.
https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1465575647 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1465575647 Now I just need to figure out the vent setup since they are either blocked by the cage or occupied with gauges |

Got the motor back in after work today
https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1466300880 As you can see I had to add some clearance for the compressor housing https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1466300880 I have the hot side and intake to fab still https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1466300880 Need to straighten up the intercooler now that i see the pic https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1466300880 Tons of space for the universal ac unit I need to add the VVT solenoid connector and double check all the inputs on the haltech. I also ordered up a few things to do the down pipe and wastegate. It's looking like I should be able to plumb the wastegate back into the exhaust which is nice. |

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...pssj3erza2.jpg Got a shit ton done but it doesn't look that way. Finished the downpipe and wastegate stuff and wired up the VVT to the haltech. That bastard mazdaspeed brace gets in the way of everything. To do list Intake Turbo plumbing Random vacuum hose stuff Brake booster line Fluids Waterpump pulley and belts Upload vvt base map I'll do the ac stuff later on |
Getting closer! What are the details on that universal a/c? My beater truck never had air and parts from 1989 are getting harder to find
