Nice unit. Don't why it has "Turbo Miata" written on it though..
I guess BEGI couldn't fit "Badass Motherfucker" on it! |
Wow, that is the messiest engine bay I've ever seen, haha. You should clean it up a little bit. The manifold looks good though, I was looking at getting one, will be cool to see dyno numbers

mine was 310. That price is only good for the rest of this month, then who knows what they will cost.

The messiest you have ever seen? I have these things called vacuum lines that I need to run to a lot of different things in my engine bay, I guess I could just leave all the lines off and have it look clean if that would make it less messy. I think when I dyno the dyno operator wont let me dyno until I make my engine bay less messy, sucks....guess I better make it less messy then. |
Maybe he meant cluttered? :)

Now if you do upgrade the cams, the powerband for the motor will be pretty sweet. I wish there was some way to just increase lift like on pushrod motors, you just swap out rocker arms. I didn't see it anywhere, but did you port match the intake and the heads yet? It does wonders for eliminating the steps that are usually present that make the air charge lose velocity and energy when coming into the cylinders.

I consider my engine bay to be very clean and although I have vacuum lines running to various places in the engine bay I have made it about as clean as I can. I have the BOV, FMU, FPR, Boost gauge sensor, External WG, and brake booster vacuum lines all coming from the intake manifold side of the engine bay and since the manifold is tapped for a larger hose its hard to HIDE all of the vacuum lines. I am going to be overly critical of everyone elses shit from now on. / bad mood

just ditch the abs and youll be fine. I wanna see this in person whats your eta on being running/tuned? i still have a few minor issues in mine. :(
|
I am going to try to make my bay as pretty as possible and then post pics for RusMan to make sure it meets his approval. Im serious. ;) In a couple days check back for the most un-messy engine bay EVER!
|
I am looking forward to this. Better watch out, when my engine gets back in she ought to be real clean, cept for the damn paint scratches..

honestly i cant tell any difference and I didnt expect to see any difference. I will be going back to the dyno though and will let you guys be the first to know what happens. |
