NC Miata DIY Turbo
Hello everyone!
I have been lurking these forums for years and have decided to finally turbo my car! I know the NC is not very loved on here, but I've decided to do it anyways. I have made a list of what I'll be using.
Parts List:
Also I have planned to get the oil feed from teeing the oil pressure sensor, would this be safe to do?

Sr20Ebay Turbo- Versaturner Tuning Software
- FlowForce 640cc Injectors
- Universal intercooler and piping
- NXS Manual Boost Controller
- Ebay BOV(I know)
Also I have planned to get the oil feed from teeing the oil pressure sensor, would this be safe to do?

The manifold is a custom one. There's not a lot of options for the NC. This was the biggest hold up for starting it.
My goal is 220-230hp "reliably" what would be a better sized turbo?
I have Versatuner on my car right now so it wouldn't be a extra cost. As far as I've seen, they offer about the same amount of features

if you have a tight budget, turbocharging an NC is probably a bad idea.
that said, Lars is right: it's way too small and I'd even try some knockoff that's bigger than spend time fabricating a setup for such a small turbo.
you will always want more boost. it's very addicting

I will probably get this for the time being, then purchase a garret later on. Someone said pulsar was a good brand, I've never heard of them before. Sorry I don't know how to quote people yet, I don't make alot of posts

I believe the Kraken top mount limits you in turbo sizing also. I think the GT3xxx sized turbos end up hitting the VC.
That ebay turbo looks alright. Will probably work great to start out on.

I have just finished this turbo conversion on my Mazda MX5 MK3 NC 2.0 and have written a guide to show my mistakes and success (PDQ’s Guide’ish)I am happy to share. My car is RHD but a lot of the info is valid for LHD also.

It's been awhile since I've had a update. I won't be able to get pictures of th manifold for atleast a week sadly. It's purchased, I just have to wait until I head down to okc again. I got my Turbo- - 2871 from Ebay. Not shaft play, the inside looks a little rough. I'm just gonna try to sand it down a bit before I put it on.
