I finally got pics.
Well now that I just got a camera, heres some pics of my miata. I dunno if this worked since its my first time putting pics up here.
|
nope
|
ok it didnt work.......how do you put pictures up here. I cant just upload them from my camera like usual can I? It may be a stupid question but whatever
|
since you are not a supporting member you cant just upload them onto the site. Upload them onto a file hosting site like photobucket , facebook, or w/e else and then link them using [.img] [./img] (without the periods)

ok there we are
|
Ding ding ding:)
what are you using for engine management? |
EMB. works like a charm and gets the job done. runnin 305 inj, walbro 190, 12:1 AFPR and 93 octane. its tuned to run on that and tuned to run safely rich. reacts too well to boost lol
|
Car looks great man. Really super clean. I like how you did the hotside intercooler piping, really smart.
|
Who made that radiator panel/cover/cowl/whatever you call it for you?
|
|
Thanks man. I tried to do it in the best way to dissipate heat and also firmly mount the turbo without putting too much stress weight on the manifold. The cooling panel (cowl or whatever) is straight from Begi. It looks alot like the ARC though.
not really. it just wasnt hooked up when i felt like snapping shots :) |
is that the manifold I think it is?
|
haha, what manifold do you think it it?
|
judging by your attempt at bracing it appears to be an OBX model
|
haha, bingo. its reinforced also. If you really judge the obx garrett gt25 manifolds, they do appear to be free flowing. They just use really thin metal to fabricate them, i dunno why. its actually a pretty nice piece.
|
Wow congrats on getting that finished so quickly. I remember when you were looking for a T25 still. How much time did you spend on this each day?
|
Nice car man! I usually don't like body kits, but this one flows pretty nicely!
|
I was working extremely slow for my usual self since i usually work abit faster, but it took me about 3 months. I am very pleased with it. Yeah I'll put up pics of the whole car tomorrow. it will make everyone think positive on this Garage Vary kit :)
|
the only problem I have with the OBX is the metal overlap where the center 2 runners meet the main loop. I also have one and the matching dp :)
|
yeah it was alittle off where it appeared they wanted it to meet up. it looks pretty when heated and cooled tho unlike dull looking cast iron. its lighter too but ofcourse not as durable. :) . I like this better tho

Seriously though Hustler, if you hate what i've done with my car so much, just leave the thread alone.

Flawless victory by Joe!

looks pretty good
|
Just out of curiosity if you go to all the trouble of running a after market engine managment system why do you keep the stock AFM ?, also do you guys run surge tanks with your turbo set ups ??, And by the way Sam Amporful very nice ride nice color too
Dr. |
well i just got this running like 2 1/2 weeks ago. and that was just to make sure that the turbo would run fine with the engine. I'll delete it later down the road. What some people dont realize is that you have to make sure its gonna run right before you move on to taking stuff out. Soon i will get a link and remove it. And its actually no "all the trouble" in running an aftermarket EMS. I wired mine in in about 2 hrs. with drink breaks, and tuning it only took 20min.
Thanks for the compliment. Hustler thinks it looks gay for some reason |
I think that's hustler's stock response to everything.
I think it looks f-ing awesome. ~Mitch |
nice paint.
|
thanks.
|
I like it. But then again I drive a miata, and am used to being called gay.

I love the Vary kits. The pic of the front ^ is awesome!
|
Same here. They just flow so smoothly. That huge front duct in the bumper keeps my engine nice and cool too. it wont even fully warm up unless i stop alot. the Nopros look good too. You guys wouldnt even believe how cheap in price that paintjob was and how long its lasting.
|
Sam, the car looks awesome!

gay tail lights gay afm mos def poz poz Poz is the greatest thing given to man kind by god via monkies. To get poz one must have the neg hole violated by a poz rod. The act of getting poz is called pozing it up. Neg guys meet up with poz guys to fornicate in a very nasty manner in order to spread the ultamite weightloss disease. I was at the bar last night, looking for some neg guys to fill up with my poz load and I found three. We had an awsome orgy of Poz and Neg. It was epic. |
wow, thats just nasty haha. wierd shit

Hate the front bumper.
Hate the rear bumper. Hate the Tail lights. Don't like your EMS. Other than that, nice car! Nice and shiny! ;) |

Some like it and i guess some dont. personally i think you dont have taste if you hate it. And greddy products such as the emanage is commonplace in the tuning world. its not crappy and is nice and inexpensive to tune throughout the rpm range. adding fuel, retarding ignition and such. If you havent ran it for a while, dont even judge it. People tell you stuff about it, you havent used one
I took a box of parts and BUILT My own ECU, which IIRC has more functionality than most if not all Greddy electronic products. Total investment is around $200.00 US. Not to stroke my own clover too much, I'm hardly the first person to accomplish this but I am pretty proud of my skill and dedication of completing this. No need for variable rate fuel pressure regulator, no need for any kind of air meter. http://jugrnot.com/megasquirt/IMG_0116.jpg Meet a random person in a parking lot and they're either highly impressed someone without an electrical engineering degree can accomplish something like this (have never heard of Megasquirt), or they're impressed you've been driving the car so long without any problems. Hell most the stupid little kiddies that inquire about aftermarket modifications don't have any idea what aftermarket EMS's are even about. Not to bash on your car or your build at all, just stating I don't like the gaping hole in the rear bumper, and the long gaping hole in the front bumper.. Granted the front bumper might be a little more functional than an OEM bumper piece... I still don't like it. The tail lights I see on a daily basis on 100 million Pimped out South-of-the-border Honda civics and personally hate the simple existence of them. Again, just my opinion. |
yeah but there is a need for much bigger injectors. Its just as easy to put in as an AFPR and tune it out, just as you will with bigger injectors, hell I even have a 12:1 disc in there and tuned it out on 305s. I dont see why its seems to be problematic. I didnt want to build an engine management. thats why I ordered one. got it for $120 too. why would i possibly need all those extras just to tune my fuel so my car can idle and hit boost safely. I didnt ask about your stuff either. sure you can delete the afm and pick up like 10 horses but thats not that big of a deal, especially when you can turn up the boost or just get an rx7 one and pick up half of that. theres not much power needed to push a miata forward quickly. I just dont see the big deal. Im not chasing 500hp. Garage vary kits are meant to be functional. they sell diffusers to replace and bolt up where that piece is. that hole may not be functional but there is a reason to why its there, to upgrade in the future. I have no problem with that hole being that it looks better by eye than on pictures. Its actually a very nice bumper. The holes arent even that big. I think you forgot how small a miata is. The front piece is about 65% more functional than the OEM one. My car will not stay at operating temp. unless im stopped. Highway driving even cools the engine by half of normal temperatures. Everyone has their opinion, but i just disagree when someone says something just to be the 2 cent instigator. Im not a kiddie either

car looks nice, the body kit is not my cup of tea but if you like it rock it.
the e-manage is not my favorite thing in the world either but if it makes the car run, run safe, and you meet your power goals then i dont c a need for change. the only things i really dont like are the tail lights and the small intercooler, i only dislike the intercooler due to the way it looks in that bumper, it prolly cools fine and would look decent in a stock bumper but the gv bumper dwarfs the cooler a bit. all that matters is that you like it, if you are happy with it and have met your goals and you like the way it looks then congratz. |

Bringing it back from the dead to ask you for detailed pics of the OBX manifold supports. I'm using an OBX myself, and just got the car idling, so I hope to be on the streets within a few weeks after I get my GiffTech tuning software and order a RRFPR
|
Nice build. I wouldn't let those manifold supports give me a false sensation of "fixed" though. You need run a support from the block/mmount up to the bottom side of the turbo/flange area if you expect it to provide sufficient support.
|
I think i have the same rear bumper waiting to be installed on my car. Do you have any close up shots of it? Do you remember if you had to remove the rear bumper support to get it to fit up? If not, what kind of bumper is it. I like the look but mine doesn't look like it will fit well.
Oh and other than not being white, the car looks great.:) |

I like the kit and the front turn signals. I don't like the altezzas but I don't think I've ever liked them on anything but an Altezza.
If you got the EMB for less than an MS and it does what you need then rock it. |
