How to Turbo your Miata Over the Weekend
 

hey all enjoy the how to video

is this real life?

only if charlie bites you

You shouldn't ever intentionally spread Aids.

Get this AIDS off my site.

Mr. Puddy doesn't like this.

There is NO way to get to that oil pan.

You forgot to zip up your flame-suit.

we zipped it up for him

Now I know how. Thanks for the link. Soon I will be racing in Mexico too

Is this just fantasy?

Emphasis is mine for the lulz.

I learned that the automatic miata is waay slower than the manual.

caught in a landslide

I'm a little surprised dude showed up here.
I thought brain let him know how stupid he was on facebook.

I am convinced that every inbred with a go-pro and an ebay account now thinks he's the next "mighty car mods"

Game changing build is game changing. That oil return is the best thing I have ever seen. That whole build is the best thing I have ever seen.

the world just isn't ready for such freshness

and I thought I built junk

:likecat:

This video is fantastic! That oil return is awesome!

"How to turbo your Miata over the weekend with zero research into how anyone has ever in the history of Miatas successfully turbo'd their Miata"

Hey, it works... I give him credit for that. How well and for how long I don't know.

And I spent all that time drilling and tapping my oil pan like a :noob: when I could have had a baller setup like that!

Nonono, he didn't want aluminum shavings ruining his engine. Good luck driving that time bomb!

You'll love the sequel: "How to replace your miata motor in a weekend, after your half ass installation throws a rod through your block!"

that poor car.

His poor girlfriend.

HAHAHA i made it like 2 minutes into that video before i clocked out.

New guy here, trying not to suck. Can someone give me a quick rundown of everything he did wrong? Aside from the redneck-meets-German-engineer oil setup.

Crappy turbo kit - manifold prone to cracking
Improper location of BOV with stock ECU (fixed later in video)
Stock ECU
Meth with stock ECU
Making a shitty manifold even shittier with that bent plate welded in, instead of rerouting the coolant line

I haven't watched the video since this post was made, so I'm probably forgetting a lot more.

I think it is a new CXRacing turbo setup. Not sure if they will crack or not, but not the normal eBay setup. From the few pictures I have see they look stout, but of an interesting design.

One day in the future I am hoping to get one to test out.

i am planning on using the cx kit, unless i can't figure out this darn MS3 and i can buy a MK turbo kit by then.

Why would you even gamble like that? Its like this, An unproven cx kit vs. One that actually works, built by a site supporter.

The car in this video didn't even make 200whp.
It got spanked by a Hyundai Genesis, with a 3000gt making him look even worse.
The only thing that makes this car LOOK quick is the mid 15 second SN95 GT he ran.

This thing may be a mid 14 second car, look out everyone.

180hp woulf still be double stock at the rear wheels. Not an insignificant increase.and enough for a lot of people to be happy. Heck, my friend is having a blast with his and I would bet on it putting down less than 140whp. Sure as heck is faster than my stock 1.6. (Not that that says much).

and pigs are happy eating garbage

and rabbits eat their own feces

all are perfectly happy

...so there's that

Because the you cant get a MK Turbo kit now, im not going to wait months for a kit once im ready to install. like i said if the darn megasquirt would cooperate then i would place my order for the CX kit.

If your MS is giving you trouble, you aren't even close to needing a turbo yet. NOT EVEN CLOSE. AS in months away. Just wait, wait and get good stuff.
Go look at my build. I don't know what the hell I'm doing with ms. I thought I did, but I dont. Now I have a nice looking project, wthout a brain. At this point, I've got so much money wrapped up into it, and so ltitle understanding of the ms, it's not fun. I don't want to melt this thing down to learn how to tune.

Don't end up like me.

I will wait until i have OEM drivability out of my MS. cant even get the thing to start yet...

I do hope to get a MK kit but i am not going to let that stop me IF i am ready, like you said i probably wont be.

Just so you know the only 2 vendors out there with known quality setups will be able to ship within a week. They would be FM or possibly Fab9. All others will have waits. Begi tend to be 2-8 weeks, Abe@Artech is 3-8 weeks, TSE is sometime in March at the soonest. Who knows if CXRacing actually has them in stock, or what their eta would be.

The market for turbo setups on miata is reasonably small and all the makers short of FM tend to be small shops or individuals. There has always been a wait for turbo setups. It is just part of the game.

I ordered the CX manifold/turbo/DP on Friday and it will be here Wednesday.

I am not completely surprised by this. They probably have the overhead to hold enough stock on shelfs.

Post up about it when you get it. I am very interested in getting a real review from someone.

When I first watched this a little piece of me knew some how, somewhere this thread would be made.

What, no love for Greddy?

(ducking.)

what about taco-burrito

:)

Have you guys seen this yet?

:facepalm:

But wait theres more, blows his turbo a week later whats next? A rod maybe even the kids head will explode

lol

"I'm not gonna blame the turbo"

"I'm gonna blame myself"


well at least he's got enough brainpower to admit he's a moron

i find it so sad that these morons all want a following, asking in every video to subscribe to their channel and watch their idiocy documented

I agree with you 100%. I'm only 16 and have spent the last 2 year researching turbo miatas, I almost have all the parts to turbo my 1990. (No i don't have crank wobble lol)

No intercooler? PVC piping? LITERAL 90° downpipe bend with some sketch ass welding? Boost gauge powered by shoving the wires into a USB plug? Dude got lucky the only the turbo seized instead of blowing the engine itself...

Have you seen his downpipe. It is atrocious.

FTFY

cxracing orders their stuff from China by the container load, so each turbo kit they sell they order 100's of pieces at a time.

MKTurbo, ARTECH, TSR, all except FM, build each kit to order, so obviously this takes time to build.

with a good amount of investment ~15K its very possible to send a good quality manifold/DP/Exhaust sample to China and have them make 100 copies, and ship back in a container. but this requires a large investment and the skills to micromanage the china factory, as they LOVE to cut corners and make a crappy product.

Man, if you're gonna do eBay parts at least go with a cast iron manifold that's been proven to hold up (tacotaco). Even if you get the whole CX kit that includes a welded manifold it's still worth an extra $80 for a cast one that won't turn into shrapnel in two weeks.

:2cents:

Cx downpipe won't mate with taco taco manifold. Different angle on turbo mounting

I am not sure that the new CXRacing setup is made in China. It at least looks to use quality weld el's to be built. At the price point they sell the manifold out their welding costs have to be extremely low.

Corky@BEGI tried the China route and he could not get anything acceptable out of them. Then they started flooding eBay with knockoffs that are made out of stupid thin metal that cracks.

I can guarantee that 15k would not get anywhere near the material cost of getting 100 of my setups built. Hell buying 100 mufflers even with a discount from magnaflow I bet would cost 10k itself.
