Not to be an ass(whenever someone says that, it means they are being an ass) but 300whp on $5k isn't a crazy unobtainable feat. It's been done. I'm beating a dead horse and will be quiet now.

The people that can make it happen are not the people that need to be told that it can be done. The people asking about it are the ones that cannot do it. Does that make sense? |
You have to be insanely lucky on good deals to even come close to a reliable 300hp build.
It probably is possible, but it isn't easily conceivable to me that most could do it. I need to stress the reliable aspect of that possibility too. You are entering built motor territory with 300 and that in itself eats up a shit ton of your budget. |

Only if you steal the car. Like literally, punch the ignition switch with your ski mask on and go. Then $5k will get you to 300hp. Of course you still won't be able to effectively use it unless the stolen ride already had suspension, wheels, and tires capable of supporting 300hp.

Total $1,930. Will also need a wally 190 ($90), and a wideband, why not 14point7 ($140), which leaves $2840 to acquire a miata and a clutch. Totally doable, not easy in the slightest.
C'mon man. You're not a noob anymore, just stop. If we're playing this retarded game, I could build a 300whp miata for 3k. Where's my cookie? |

If you're lucky you can find a mad tyte miata on CL with racelands and a badass pink tow strap with hood venting for only like what.... 3 to 5k these days?
Fuckin fag tax. GL with your 300hp miata for 5k. |

I feel i should make one more decent post in this shitty thread.
There have been many of us who have made 220-240hp miatas for well under $3000. Including myself, see build thread(and other peoples build threads). Start there, that may bring results. I find myself searching this site for answers i need more and more. Only to find threads like these where some useful information could have been but because it's the first thing that comes up it's normally the regulars hazing the new guy for not searching. I'm not saying this is one of those threads, but it might be for some idiots. I end up searching through 3 or 4 threads i shouldn't have needed to in the end. /erats time is valuable |

If the OP wants a reliable 300hp ride, it's gonna cost $4-5k, depending on the platform he starts with; which is an additional cost. |

If the OP wants a reliable 300hp ride, it's gonna cost $4-5k, depending on the platform he starts with; which is an additional cost. And yes, thats a very hypothetical post, but the ebay 16g will be able to hit the numbers, we know the ghetto manifold with the stock flange already works because Dann (and GRM challenge team or two) have already made one like it. Nothing I said is impossible, is it the most optimal setup? No. Would a build thread by someone doing this get ridiculed on here? Yes, until they produced results. I might even have a car and willing owner to make a setup like this for, besides the engine internal bits. |
No one is more frugal and as patient than I am when it comes to finding the best deals on baller parts.
I blew past 5k a long time ago. I don't miss the days of wondering if my shit pile was going to hold together during my next drive. You want a nice car, get ready to spend the money. I can say that it is better to just spend the money. OP is completely unrealistic. |
I fear this post will likely just fuel the fire, and maybe even worst, it may even give some validity to Leafy's stupid post...
BUT 300hp for $5k including the car is basically what I'm doing right meow... $2400 POS miata - CHECK $130 Garrett T3S60 - CHECK Ebay piping, intercooler, etc. etc. - $250 Used FM Stage 1 clutch - $50 Spare Engine to build - $50 Engine re-build including Forged Rods - $600 Log manifold - $200 Home made DP and exhaust - $150 Enhanced MS2 - $700 ID1000s - $400 Fuel Pump - $100 Oil lines, various other crap - $xxx? So that's about $5030 plus oil lines and other little odds and ends. So about $5100 and on E85 I think I'll have a reliable 300hp (whp maybe?). Anyway, 18psi is right, it can be done, but the people that CAN do it, don't need to ask how to do it. The people that NEED to ask, likely cannot do it, and probably shouldn't try.... |
