How much was wrong with her to get it for 8K....it's not a PRHT is it?
|
No prht. Front damage, nothing major. 1.5 k in parts, couple hours in the paint booth for rent and we have lift off. Ebay is awesome for parts, even really new shit. I'll take a brand new miata for under 12k paid for any day.
Well you have to be able to do the work yourself, or at least alot of it. Still though out the door a new one is 24-27. |

At 9k for an 08 with 2k miles, I can live with the tail lights even if they are kind of pimpish.

I am, I used to work for Mazda so I have alot of hook-ups on things. A little work for one of my parts guys and i got a free bags. I had to buy the controller though.
I usually just flip them but this one I kind of like. I could have lived with out the manumatic though. I figure i'll keep it til they give it a facelift in 2010. |
How well do you think the automatic will handle the additional power?
|
Well the thing is, once you get it fixed as long as the title isn't salvage, you could trade/sell it and get a manual one. The manumatic ones are more expensive iirc anyways.
Or get an rx8. ;) |

Good idea, I Should have thought of that already. I'll be picking one up this week.
What other options, do you guys recommend for a turbo? Making power early is more preferable to me over max top end, If that makes any sense. Well I did some rough calculations, and at around 240 hp (sorta random guess) with the turbo, you would be looking for a pressure ratio of around 2.2 with 28 ish lb/min of flow. A compressor map from a gt2871R seems to fit perfect Hope that helps :) :giggle: |

Educate me, What is the difference between 2860RS - 2871 - GT2560
These pages are your friend: http://www.turbobygarrett.com/turbob...gt_basics.html http://www.turbobygarrett.com/turbob...ochargers.html The "R" suffix denotes a ball-bearing center. The "S" is a semi-meaningless differentiator between sub-models of the same turbo. |

I would get a .63 a/r on the exhaust side. If your planning on like upwards of 350 hp, you might want to consider a gt30... What are you aiming for anyway? How well built is the NC engine? |
