I'm waiting for the ETD H-beam rods because someone didn't pay and they are not shipping them out yet.
I'm getting the pistons from here or a local shop that builds mustangs: http://www.importperformanceparts.ne...tons_ford.html

That sucks about the rods, I called John at ETD and he said they have them in stock ready to ship before I ordered them. I didn't buy through the group buy, so maybe they'll ship mine, I need them asap so I can take the engine to the shop.

Yes, I helped build a 20G powered TSi AWD. Stutterbox/NLTS/Antilag and the works. Lots of blood and sweat went into that car.
I am not going to put a big turbo on my miata, that is not why I bought the car. All I am saying is that I am surprised MORE people don't do it.
There is nothing wrong with 4krpm spool, you are staying in boost most of the time anyways.
I bought my miata for a trackday/daily driver car, not to drag race. All I am saying is that a miata could be at 500whp and be a better trackday car then one at 300whp.
I will probably not be keeping the miata for long after I graduate. I will build a seven.

All disagree with you. They say it means adjustable.
A real AFPR does not need a stock damper/regulator.
Rising rate, I mean the fuel pressure rises at a 1:1 rate with boost. This is how the ENTIRE rest of the internet describes an RR AFPR, I guess on the miata forums this has a different meaning. Go to a supra forum, 240, dsm, whatever forum and say AFPR, 99% of the people will say adjustable, because that is what it means.

The stock Regulator on a DSM or whatever rises at a 1:1 ratio. The FPR we use basically takes that 1:1 ratio and makes it something like 6:1 all the way to 12:1 so we can use basically stock injectors, and add extra fuel with fuel pressure. Please, dont post unless you know how we do things around here. The miata tuning world is just a little different and you dont even have a turbo miata, so I would just read instead of talking out of your A$$.:gay:

I have sportmax 002 wheels.
they make them in 15x8 and 16x8, I have both, with 0 offset, so they stick out past the fender with no spacers, you have to roll/pull the fenders to fit these. I can post some pictures if you want.
