well guys.. I picked up some of the left over parts to get this project done.
some pics of the parts I picked up today. Attachment 216748 Attachment 216749 I took this to show you how big the fmic actually is Attachment 216750 heres Mr. HKS Manifold(thanks hrach) and Mr. T25 cuddling. Narbie I'm also going to order those APR studs & nuts thanks again. http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y12...3/IMG_2422.jpg Here is where I'm going to run the FMIC pipes through my Radiator support Attachment 216751 Here is the goal... I'm going to run a over the top mount FMIC. Attachment 216752 What makes this fmic difficult to install besides the fact that it's huge.. is that there are no kits like this for the miata. So I'm making it from scratch... I'm currently taking a few welding classes and I'm going to be attending a Tig welding class next sem so this shouldn't be too difficult to make. Here's what my car looked like when I picked her up (1994 Miata 1.8L) $1500 Attachment 216753 Attachment 216754 Attachment 216755 Attachment 216756 and here it is today heres all the junk I had to take out... Attachment 216757 You can see the door and the stock suspension Attachment 216758 this is all the glass from the broken window from the door and other stuff in the car I cleaned out. http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y12...IMG_2444-1.jpg Attachment 216759 Attachment 216760 Attachment 216761 Attachment 216762 Attachment 216763 Attachment 216764 Attachment 216765 |

Did you pull the quarter panel yourself? If so, details. I have a dent in my rocker panel from turning to sharply in a parking lot. Hit a concrete median thingy. Car looks too sick lowered though. Its not a bad dent but I think the only way to fix it with the least filler is to use a stud welder and a slide hammer. I don't know if its possible to rent those though.

I have a dent in the rocker from some stupid bitch parking.
-topix- looks like a cool setup! does that manifold hang the turbo? |

That looks pretty good, I'm fairly low also :D
VRTsid- I havn't actually bolted on the turbo to see how it is.. it will either sit on top of the manifold.. or hang off it lol. |
Did you get it from etdracing and "Make an offer". I might pick up one just because.

you have to turn the turbo 180degrees... Hks has a top mount manifold....
Clock the turbo down...(compressor housing) Make sure oil feed is on top (and drain is bottem) If that is a bb turbo you need watercooling! |
Stuff looks good.. How well does the knock off HKS BOV work?
|
Because you have no ac, it is easier to lower the radiator and move it a little back. The holes although big enough will not clear the pipes...(hope it does)
The miata in the pic also has an other radiator position. |
