Default Kraken Build - Some dumb questions!


Not using a boost controller. Run airline from wastegate to BOV?


EGR - purchase a block off plate and remove? Also, is that an oil galley plug on the block? I was under the impression that a 95 did not have one.

I know that the BOV attaches, but what else?

Lastly, how in the world did you get the fmic intercooler to fit with AC and PS? Looks like my biggest issue is the AC dryer. I'd really like to keep the AC.

This car was a prime example with only 71k miles. I've tried to keep everything I've done reversible in case I ever sold the car and someone wanted in back at stock condition. I really appreciate your guys assistance!

Wastegate reference needs to be pre throttle body. BOV reference needs to be after throttle body.

That is an oil feed. All obd1 cars have them.

I think most people relocate the dryer or at least move it out of the way.

Edit: Also search is your friend.

1. If you're asking where to run the wastegate and BOV lines, they're both vac referenced like dyladjent said. Definitely read up on that. https://www.miataturbo.net/diy-turbo...eed-ebc-47532/

2. Unless you have a fat environment boner, id get rid of the EGR and add a blockoff. Just one more thing to clutter the bay and possibly fail. And yes, that's an oil feed. The change was mid 95' so some have the port

3. Im under the impression the other hole is to connect the IAC hose? I run an NB IAC though so im not totally sure

4. All the AC lines are easily bendable. Just make sure not to stress them enough to crack. I use a different intercooler but got mine to fit by deleting the drier bracket, moving/bending the drier out of the way, then bending any lines that touched to clear

Thank you, this was a very detailed response.

Top tip, bend the heater core hard pipe as far back and up toward the dipstick as you can if you are putting in a high mount manifold. It's real close to the downpipe otherwise.
