My 99 motor NA is quicker than that. Damn.

I wouldn't say everyone as I'd call 175 decent power and BEGi claims it on a kit that they say you can run with the stock airflow meter

bro, are you serious? do you have the slightest clue how hard and impossible that would be? not to mention how retarded. first of all, the oil pan wont clear or the intake manifold would have to have a WEIRD ass design that would MAJORLY fail. next all vacuum lines would have to be 4-5 feet longer, and theres ALOT OF THEM. next nothing would be able to be mounted on top of the engine like it is now since the exhauast mani would melt it. front mount? it would still be the same length piping since THERE IS ONLY ONE PLACE IN THAT BAY THAT HAS ROOM FOR THE TURBO, AND THAT IS EXACTLY WHERE IT IS MOUNTED ALREADY. i could go on for like 4 pages, but dont want to thread jack.

as far as "dont hate it till you try it" here's a nice little link for you\/
lol WOW.....that looks like complete ass not to mention slower than a snail. hahaha id love to read some of the threads with this guy defending that setup :bowrofl:



pipefather, im really not trying to start anything or argue with you, my opinion is that rear mounted turbo on miata's is kinda dumb, lets just agree to disagree and everything's cool...peace

Me neither, but did you even read what I said? The dumbass in that video mounted the turbo ALL THE WAY in the back of the car, and anyone who thinks their spark map has "autotune" shouldn't be allowed within 3 feet of an ECU. He likely made another hundred thousand compromises in system design, and here we are taking that as the benchmark for an alternative layout.

I, on the other hand, said it might not be such a bad idea to mount it in place of the cat, thus making the header length somewhat equal to that of the Subaru.

And the whole point why Subaru was brought up, was as an example of how they considered this to be not such a bad idea, I mean if it was, they would have changed the layout by now. Even the WRC cars have the turbo in the same exact place, look it up.

Again I'm not saying this is optimal, but it could be a good solution for someone who is on a really tight budget and doesnt want to spend money on a manifold and downpipe.

The limited amount of heat energy out of that bare backside is going to compromise turbo performance...... Not to mention use of sustained boost.

why do you guys keep talking about rear mounted turbos?:jerkit:

I got a rear turbo! Powered by Bean burrito's and unsweet tea!

Guys anything can be done if you like the battle. But there are so many used parts that you can bolt up easy. WHY!
I tried to make my own A/C bracket on my 300 hp CJ-7. 2 weeks later I just spent 275 dollars bought a new compressor and bracket and was done in 2 hrs. A/C was alot nicer than playing with it.

bean burrito's power for the winnnnnn :D

i've done quite a bit of research on this and will be doing a remote system, but it's going to actually be a front mount system. two smallish turbos and a seperate oil cooling system mounted ratrod style.

i know this sounds thrown together, but i actually put a lot of thought and research as well as doing some drawings and before all's said and done i'll probably have my bro draw it up in autocad.

to those who doubt :fawk:

good luck with that man. post many pics if you can and start a thread about it. it should be interesting to say the least..not my cup of tea but nothing wrong with trying something different

Autocad FTW, but drawing something that complex would be beyond me. Designing a 3'd drawing of a house was cake(it was pretty cool, could do a digital walk through and stuff, I miss cad.) Your brother must have skillz that killz

Why would you use/need 2 turbos?

hell make it 4....GO ALL OUT:giggle:

JW here...what happened to this kurt rohmer guy. I cant see any of his posts in this thread ( https://www.miataturbo.net/forum/sho...+Rohmer&page=4 )

...did he get like hardcore banned or something?

he deleted all his posts, some of those got purged.

If you wanna read up on the updates of the worlds most halfass turbo install,go to CR.net,he post updates regularly on that site.

I try to stay away from CR.net, I don't want to get JDM'd in the ass

Cliff's notes:

i dont like how the rear mounts have the air filter under the car
