I no longer own my turbo NB, but I believe that I was about <15k for a 330hp NB1 with a built motor. Price includes purchase price of the car .
I do think I got fairly lucky though and found a lot of good deals and spent a fair amount of time flipping parts which helped lower costs a fair amount. I bought a lot of things used or NOS from folks that bought parts and ended up not using them and such. |

If you have access to a welder, chop saw, and a soldering iron you can mimic the mkturbo kit for half that. Any kit you buy you're paying for someone else's labor and r and d. You don't need wheels and tires to make 300 whp. Any 300 whp miata is going to be traction limited on the street anyway. My 6 speed was less than $400 shipped to my door. My torsen was less than $400. A rods only engine can be done for the cost of rods and a head gasket. What do you need a regulator for? Your version of a 300whp is not everyone's version. Saying it can't be done cheaper is plain wrong. I understand your point, but in most applications it's assumed that coming anywhere close to being able to use 300hp in a Miata that wheels and tires do in fact help. With you saying "going to be traction limited on the street anyway", so since it's a complete lost cause we should all just be running 800TW all seasons on Daises? I do get your point of just checking the box of 300hp that almost nothing else is (technically) required though. In that same sense you could say brakes, seats, seat belts, etc are all completely optional (ignoring laws). |
Just don't keep track of what you're spending. That's how I sleep like a baby at night.
