Are you saying that the only thing holding the radiator on is that bracket on top? Also, how well do you reckon the 2" pipes will flow once you stop them from falling apart? |
no, its still on the stock mounts on the bottom. and the 2inch pipes will flow enough for the power i plan on making. i only want a MAX of 200whp
|
So its just stock bottom mounts and that upper one in the picture changing the angle, leaving the original upper mounts unbolted?
I really like this idea because it is nice and simple and clean. And do you think the pipes would limit you to 200whp or thats just what you want to achieve? I think that is the kind of power I would want too, I still need to get a ride in a boosted miata. |
i have no idea what it would be good up too, but the most power i want to make is 200. its really fun to drive now at maybee 150whp, at most. 13g at 7-8psi
|
I would love to ride in one too. I have bought all these parts and have never ridden in one. Im ready to get mine running and the car turbo'ed.
How much power would you expect from 305cc injectors and 10psi, on a 92 1.6 with a fm kit. 3 inch down pipe? I don't have to pass smog so I was thinking of putting 3 inch to the back. I wounder if that would help or help or hurt it. I want to eventually run 12psi and get a MS but I'm tired of waiting. It is going to run or burn to the ground!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

40 for the intercooler and new outlets welded 70 for the turbo 30 for the injectors 125 IIRC for the mani 20 for a nice DSM O2 houseing that i made a downpipe out of abour 30 in charge pipes/couplers at most so just over $500 |
Yea I'll be doing an over the rad charge pipes as well on my 99. Will go with at least a 18x12x3 core, but may go longer if I can. 18" core puts the center of the charge pipes around 21-22", which is just right to go from the to the SC, or now, the turbo. I'd like to go as large as possible though, so I may put something with a larger core and 'make' it fit.
