Won't mounting the turbo securely to the block just make the manifold MORE likely to crack?

Oh yeah, in response to your question; I'm trying to keep this thing on the cheap; I already have the Lotus, Corvette, AC Cobra and a bunch of hot rods that are too nice for Hooliganism and Reasonable Mayhem, so this Miata is really just to beat on. I had the car for a long time and had put good suspension and a cage and all in it, but the motor was tired (too much Hooliganism) the trans was getting gronchy into 5th and it had an open rear. I got the entire motor/trans and turbo setup from a wrecked MSM for like $2200, and found the TF LSD in an '05. Even with all of the other stuff in/on the car, I still have under $10k in it. Well, $10k-ish.
There's an old adage that says "never take anything on a race track that you're not willing to set on fire and walk away from", and while the Lotus is a pisser at speed, wadding it up would break my heart. So, low buck Miata to the rescue. (And yeah, I have the resources to "do it right", part of the reason why I have those resources is because I don't piss it away on parts that are way beyond the scope of what the car is intended to be used for. Would I like a set of custom made Keizers? Sure, but the car will probably end up on 6UL's or something.) |
