The new setup
 

Attachment 214314

1.6 rockin a t3 60-1 with a .82 hotside. Going for 500 whp, at like 13k rpms.

now taking bets on if it can even spool it :giggle:

thats sick

Looks like a T3/T4. They don't make pure T3's that large IIRC.

Nice clean setup.

lets see the manifold

haha second post and already busted...

its a friends turbo, i am building a turbo setup for his twincharged hatchback

but doesnt it just look like it belongs next to a 1.6 in a miata ;)

I'd rock it. I bet my 1.6 could spool it by 5.5k, which isnt bad when I can go all the way to 9 :)

haha, i honeslty dont think it would be that bad, on his hatch it spooled up that big 16g under 2 grand, so i dont see any probs at all with this turbo. i think you might accually have to wait for boost now but i think his engine revs to 9 so i think even if it spooled at 3-4 which is 2 grand later than the 16g i still think it will be extreeemely usable.

Is he running a B18c? I'm assuming yes, and those motors have amazing VE.

What dampers are those and is that a PnP radiator?

I'm pretty sure those are his own fabbed shock hats. He has a previous thread on them I believe.

no they are not the same ones i made before... these are the new ones i made...

HAHA, so picky!

shocks, spring rates? im going to need some details here sir...

oh and no this is not a pnp radiator. i got a local company to make it for me and i did the brackets for it. there is no way i am paying the fucking prices some of these miata radiator guys want, its insane.

they are just stock valved koni yellows and a set of h&r race springs at 500/325 rates. running a 1" front bar and stock in the rear. fat cat progressive bump stops. i should have about 3" of travel with the control arms flat, f/r . of course i havent driven it yet, since i am still putting the car together.

nice, where did you get the sleeves? or are they custom pieces too?

They look like ebay sleeves actually. Then again they all look the same.

yea they are just ebay sleeves. no point and spending anything over $20 on a set of those damn things.

I wanna see pics of the rest of the car, and more info on the engine. It looks nucking futs.

itll be running in a few weeks i wasnt going to post anything about it till then since everyone wants to see vids once a car is running. ill keep everyone posted.

just thought a miata with a 60-1 looked funny

Welcome back to the land of the living :)
