hey your car is almost as messy in the cabin as my 240!!!! ALMOST!!

 

Nuts. Totally nuts. Looking forward to seeing the finale and the numbers.

Where are you from Splitime? You should have copys of that mani + DP setup made so I can be like you!

 

HOLY HELL!!

Best Miata engine bay ever!

 

pretty fooking badass

 

how far can you tilt the rad and it still function properly (stock rad)? i may need to tilt it to fit my intercooler in.

 

Dude this **** is ******* insane... Damn, i might have to steal some ideas... everything looks perfect.

 

needs more power info

 

hey splitime, i had a quick question about the gtx valve cover your using. i recently got one and had it powdercoated in hopes of using it, but

what did you do about that rear nipple in the back ?

how did you mount the coilpack ?

and since theres no pcv valve, can you run a venting catch can directly to the nipple on the passenger side ?

spaced the questions out so you could answer them by copying and pasting

 

Put some RTV in it and pinched it closed. It happens to fit right between the 2 coils.

I used the bottom bolt hole and a small piece of 3/16th steel with 2 holes in it for the driverside mount. So from valve cover bolt to normal mount point on Coil pack holder.

I don't bother with PCV stuff on turbos... I'll be running the intake side valvecover vent to a catch can[/QUOTE]

 

Eh?

Oh... we tried the other day to 'downgrade' my gt28 from an 83 turbine housing to the normal 64 turbine housing... but it didn't fit. Seems like I might have bought a gt2871rs instead of a normal gt28rs

Of course... we checked the housing on the turbo... after we welded the internal gate shut... and grafted a 3" Vband onto the housing itself. Anyone want a custom gt28rs turbine housing with a 3" Vband outlet?

 

Man, I love this build, I check this thread every chance I get to salivate at the photos. Thanks for the coverage.

 

Glad I can entertain while I build. The pictures are only a fraction of it... the wrenching is the best part

 

Whoops, so what is your power gaol? This is gonna be a track machine right?

 

I'm thinking 250 will be quite fun. Possibly 300 on tap. Considering it'll be mainly on track abuse... I'm not really going to push limits often.

 

Is this slow *** build almost done? Where are the pictures?! I'm hoping you didn't take off July 4th.

 

I worked on our condo the 4th... we are amidst prepping it for sale... i have 0 spare time .

So... I've got MS harness done (i think). I've got IM on for good, fuel rigged up and plugged in. Exhaust on and done... radiator mods finished... just doing hoses today, coolant fill... oil change... and maybe startup?

Still have seat/harness to finish... have to finish pulling abs junk. Also have roof air scoop to finish up. Then mount up my driving lights, bleed brakes and clutch slave... slowly getting there

 

:gay:

 

All buttoned up.... leaks from rear fittings for coolant reroute. Took off... "fixed" leaks again... so i'll tackle that later.

No spark/fuel from car... either ground I can't find is off (car turns over) or I fugged up my MS harness.

 

make sure your fuel lines didn't get hooked up backwards.... that's probably the #1 offender.
