Lets play a game: Name that turbo kit! :)

old school FM maybe...

Answered in the duplicate thread: Lets play a game: Name that turbo kit! :) - MX-5 Miata Forum

It's an old FM from the Bell era.

pasha 08-20-2009 09:37 PM

good eye.

now can you guys provide me with as much info as possible. as i said it on the other side, im looking to buy the car but cant talk to the owner or look at it my self. thanks.

Cast mani, probably a 2554, long ass IC pipes, probably a bell mouth 2.5" dp. The IC is actually a pretty good one (tube & fin iirc). Only the owner can tell you more.

2554 is the turbo?
any idea how much this kit should be making... according to FM site hey have one that ICd, pushing 8lb making 160hp.
sounds like a safe bet?

thanks, and i think we might be doing some business in the future :)

Tim Broughton 08-20-2009 11:20 PM

That would be referring to the turbo, yes. Probably a Garrett GT2554 turbocharger.

pasha 08-20-2009 11:27 PM

kewl. i read another thread and some guys are making 200-250 with that on 14lb of boost. sounds very good :)
thank you.

pasha 08-20-2009 11:47 PM

is this the FM2 kit? not sure if thats possible to tell, but form my research.. the one before it.. the fm1 i gueess.. did not come intercooled? thanks.

I've got the same intercooler setup and yes it is a nice intercooler. But, the pipe routing seems like it was designed by a toddler with a crayon.

do you have the same turbo setup? can you provide some specs?
you have it on a 1.6? how much boost? power? reliability?
also with the turbo, you guys are running full synthetic, right?

thanks.

Bryce 08-21-2009 12:29 AM

I've got it on my Greddy turbo kit. It fits by adding a 90 degree coupler to the outlet of the turbo.
1.6
12-15 psi
~220whp
Dead reliable, the pipes have a nice bead on the ends so they don't blow off. And yes, full synthetic unless you want to have to change your oil every thousand miles due to lifter tick.

pasha 08-21-2009 01:12 AM

very cool. stock internals? link ecu? thanks.

Laur3ns 08-21-2009 02:58 AM

Someone forgot to give that car
- new air filter(s)
- more and fresh brake fluid

Further, it has no PS, no A/C.

It looks like an aftermarket radiator?

pasha 08-21-2009 08:22 AM

that does look like an aftermarket rad.
how can you tell there is no ps and no ac.
no ac is a problem.

thanks.

Braineack 08-21-2009 08:49 AM

LINK ECU or piggy, probably a GT28R turbo.

Joe Perez 08-21-2009 09:01 AM

It's a full Link. You can see the MAP-AFM adapter box just to the right of the clutch slave.

96rdstr 08-21-2009 09:22 AM

I wouldnt buy it unless it is really cheap. I follow the old saying that if it looks bad on the exterior, 9 times out of 10 it wasn't taken care of maintenance wise as well. The really low fluid reservoir, the clogged air filter and the overall dirtiness of the engine bay speaks volumes to me.

Joe Perez 08-21-2009 09:32 AM

Yeah, definitely either a project car or a donor.

webby459 08-21-2009 09:51 AM
