jtothawhat is about to bust a 1.6
Okay time has come for me to finally make a build thread....
I promise vids when I make at/and or around 600 whp so I can shut everyone up for good.
This is going to be a 2-3 month long process, and will be updating with pictures as much as possible. The motor will be torn apart this week for my long nose crank swap, and billet gears--as well as this bad boy; I will be ordering in the morning.
My twin scroll manifold should be done in about 6 weeks.

In for results, especially of a TS on a 1.6. Got a thread for background on the build? Internals?
Sort of unrelated question, how do you like your breather setup? Any reason you have both vents on the same side of the VC? How're the fumes on the street? Did you find going to a VTA setup caused oil leaks?

iN FOR GLORY!
Please let us know how your bearings and cylinders and pistons look. Pics if possible please. I need more data on bearings in high hp miatas.
Also details on what your build will include!

Although that clutch will hold the power you are looking for I dont think you will like it on the street very much, your turbo should help but with no slip and no low end torque it could be a bear to drive. Ill buy it from you for my track car once you decide to move on though.

That's just what I was hearing from other forums (and not necessarily Miata ones), that since instead of a vacuum (from the PCV system) in the crankcase you have atmospheric pressure or higher, that it could cause leaks. Good to know though, about Miatas not being as prone. Thanks.
