There is no way I would be able to shake the car down enough before Dec 28th to be even remotely comfortable bringing it to the strip. The motor wouldn't even be broken in most likely.

So I didn't read everything but I saw goals similar to what I am making, but the sig says 7163. Did something change along the way? Cause a 6258 makes the power you wanted with ease. I'm referencing the second post in this thread.

Goals changed. Its been a while since I began this journey. Efr turbos didn't even exist when I started this thread. I plan to just keep upgrading everything in this car as I go because I like to tinker.

RyanG has been busy. Daytona weekend was something to remember, especially for Ryan.
He decided to take a shortcut from fifth gear down to second instead of fourth or even third. Number three rod couldn't take the pressure and jumped out of a window.
So the engine comes out.
Yes, barefoot and in shorts in December.

The turbo may still be okay. All of the exhaust valves are also completely intact so there is some hope that the head is salvagable. The MSM block isn't special and neither are the internals so there may be no destroyed MSM parts. Pending further tear down.

If those are the mounts that came with the car from the factory, then they are the MSM specific ones. Not sure if Ryan_G upgraded them at some point or not.
Mazda lists 3 different PNs of motor mounts for the Miata. From softest to firmest: 90-05, 04-05 MSM & Competition. The part numbers are floating around here somewhere, or you can look them up somewhere like Rosenthal.
