my na8 turbo build
hey guys. im starting a na8 turbo build. im from south africa. on this side of the world miata/mx5 is scares. also no aftermarket parts avalable for mx5.
so far i have gathered a k04 turbo 440cc bosch injectors. 2 rx7 intercoolers spitronics stand alone ecu. had a button clutch built. il be fabricating an turbo manifold as their is no turbo manifolds avalable for the bp motor. im going to start the build soon. i just wanted to know about ure thought and opinions on the build im doing. |
How much is important tax?
|
im not sure but i dont want to import parts. i have all the main parts already. and like fabricating things. half of the joy of owning a miata is building it ;-)
|
Ok, but I warn you this: you will spend about the same or more to fab your own manifold and downpipe, as you will if you buy one.
List your goals for us please. Hp, intended use, budget, fab ss and equipment you have access to. |
i have build a miata before was 1.6 with ct 20 turbo. 6psi. rasing rate fuel presure regulator. it made 105kw on wheels.
il post some photos and u tube links later. was running good for 2 years no problems. unfortunatlly i had to sell it due to financial problems This time round i want to do things properly. i want to make 150-170 wkw on 12 psi. like i said i already have stand alone ecu and 440cc injectors the ebay manifolds is about 3 to 4 thousand rand. it cost me 300 rand to make my own manifold last time ;-) and it was a branch manifold. il post pics later |
Ok, so eBay stuff is junk anyway. A quality unit from the US would be like 14,000 Rand. Exchange rate is terrible.
Carry on, let's see what you can do. I'm curious to see what 25 bucks (300R.) gets you in S.Africa |
haha cool. il post photos later of manifold ive built last time
|
I like pictures!
|

lol. so ryan how is that for a 25 bucks manifold??
|
What did you make those bends out of for that manifold. For $25 it does not look bad at all. If you can weld and fabricate building a budget setup is much easier.
|
ya it is. u can buy those 90 degree bends thats moulde like that for 20rand eatch.welded them together
|
Do you grind down the welds after you are done to make it look smooth and such?
