yes i do hustler....but at the time it was the cheapest turbo kit i could put together, i dont believe they had their affordable kits 3-4 years ago, did they?

 

buy it for $150 divide by 3-4 years comes out to around $45/year

 

you need this


my G.F took these pic. don't be thinking I got painted finger and toe nails. LOL

 

o0o! yeah....that does come out pretty cheap! i dunno what i'm going to do yet.... might get that DIY manifold for 275

lol...LIES, you detail your nails....it's okay

jay kay jay kay....the turbo i have is fine man, not looking for that much extra power....most likely i will sell this project car and possibly start on another miata afterwards, that way i can do everything the right way

 

so we can assume that since you cheaped out on a manifold, you cheaped out on the rest of the car? I think it would be easier taking it one project at a time....

 

If you're running 20 psi on a tiny turbo then it's not big enough for your power goals. do yourself and your engine a favor and get a larger turbo. 12psi from a 50 trim t4 compressor is much better for power and reliability than 20 psi out of the cute little guy.

 

Amen!

 

o noee.... i never cheaped out on other parts.... just the manifold and d/p (and turbo if you wanna get technical) it's just my mom wants me to rid of the car so she can buy me a new car (most likely an evo) and from there i will use the evo for DD and buy another miata for another project car.

lol....car will probably be leaving me soon mom's making me get rid of it (7 YEARS WITH THE CAR AND I'LL FINALLY BE PARTING WITH IT )

 

threadjack:
your "girlfriend" looks hot.

 

meh idk its ok for the $$ is all i say it is a true diy mani
put it on yourself
make it fit yourself
and fix it yourself.

 

You had a car for 7 years....guessing you got it when you had a license, say 16 years old and now your 23 years old and your mom telling you to sell it? Think its time to take your moms teet out your mouth and grow up, son.

 

and I painted the compressor housing the same color as my block...lol.

 

the o-town blue light special. You at UCF?

 

LOL +1!

nope... 21 years old.... what's growing up have to do with my mom making me sell the car? a quick FYI before you jump to conclusions...my mother and i have always been sharing our bank accounts and our profits and money that we bring into the household...we just have that close of a mother-son relationship with each other. so before you act like a jackass thunderdick about assumptions to why my mom's making me sell the car, i'd like to let you know the only reason WHY she wants me to sell it is because of my safety... she basically doesn't want me driving something that's as light as a tin can around anymore..... and plus i was 14 at the time my stepfather bought me the car, so i DO NOT own it, i follow by her rules because HER name's on the paper....she says sell it? okay i will..... but i've got no choice but to take another daily that she offers me..... and as for starting ANOTHER miata project? well those funds will have to come out of MY pocket.... which and whenever i earn enough money to start that project....

sooo....shiny the turbo i bought off this one kid was actually the same color! it took i believe 1-2hours of straight driving before all the paint burnt up and it turned into a dull silver lol, no worries though hustler, with all the new sources to manifolds and turbo's now...i'm pretty sure i won't have a problem doing my NEXT turbo build especially the right way

lol, no sir.... i go to VCC, going to be my last year and i will transfer to UCF (i've been slacking and been lazy on classes...)

 

Your myspace says your married, "Spends as much time with his wifey as he can" she stay with mom too?

 

yes she does....she's 18, and just out of highschool

....anything else you'd like to know?

 

ohh...and by the way...we're not MARRIED...my status says settled.... wifey is the girlfriend

 

Nuff said.

 

BIIIIIIIIIG +1

(even after reading the explanations, get OUT of that house and run your own life, before it's too late)

 

lol rb26.... i know... right now i'm just trying to finish college as quick as i can....pick up the pace since i've been so ******* lazy with double the classes, so i wont be able to work when school starts up again, hence why i'm staying home for now....until i finish up and get into pharmacy school i'm stuck at home
