first turbo build, 1990 1.6L miata
 

have papers where it was rebuilt at around 140,000 miles
im going to check compression and make sure its a good engine tomorrow

racing beat side skirt, fenders, new top, red leather interior, adjustable cam gears, and its a LOT slower than my 93 that had the 1.8 swap in it.
i dont know why, it has full adjustable suspension, lowering springs, has a lot of stuff done

racing beat maf and racing beat intake, rx7 spoiler,



just some basic info about it ^^


but i want to just run 4-5 pounds of boost and i would be happy, just want something thatll give me a little more power and make it a little more fun to drive

so turbo mani/downpiep/turbo and pipe to intake ild imagine

whats cheapest build i can do? any advise, never had a turbo car before

My single best piece of advice- delete this thread and read up for a few weeks.

If you don't, they will rape you like a house cat in here.

I made a similar thread not too long ago (albeit I wasn't afraid of the shift button, it wasn't my 1st post, I bothered to read up before posting, and I asked more specific well thought out questions), but they still ate me alive. They told me to do myself a favor and get the Begi-S kit, they will tell you to do the same.
Here is a link to the thread I made asking the same basic question:

For your own sake, I am doing this right now:

OP don't post back in this thread go to the noob section and post up. Then do a shit load of searching. If you keep at this rate they will ban you or you will get your ass put in your mouth by Hustler or one of the other noob PWNing members.

YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!!!

Yes moar reading for the OP.

I can't believe I was the last one to post in that thread by gearhead.

oh schnap!! lol

where can i do some research at, any sections on this forum?

with used parts whats the cheapest build youve seen?

Read the stickies, in fact read all the stickies on this sight.

The aforementioned Begi-S is cheap and meets your goals.

No, you can not get an ebay kit that will work, and I highly doubt you could do a DIY kit that would be cheaper and not kill your engine.

Edit: Maybe the Shanghai-S would work:
