I know this is not a Miata, but with this project nearing an end and me being able to enjoy it now, a Miata very well could be my next car. With the success a few guys have had running Dsmlink, it seems like the next logical step in challenging myself. The few stock Miatas I have driven were fun. Now with some real power they could be pretty sweet. After I recover from buying my new home, I am going to get serious about making a purchase. In the mean time, please enjoy my little toy.

The videos are very long as I don't know how to edit nor did I take the videos. One shows the truck from the front at 41psi, the other is the 44psi pull.

Holy **** that looks like a death trap. 640whp, what's it weigh? What in the hell is it like to drive?

 

Isn't that the point of rat-rods? I bet it's ******* retarded to drive. Absurd power, would probably be an understatement.

OP: Care to explain the purpose of primary/secondary injectors? I assume the car wouldn't idle with 2000cc injectors, so you'd have two sets. When does the second set kick on, and how do you control tip-in throttle fuel delivery?





Also, in the last video, you passenger side rear tire looks like it has a death wobble.

 

800hp on E-cool, the FFS guy will love it.

 

There are numerous DSM guys running 2000+cc injectors daily. I run straight ethanol and use 10 injectors to fuel this thing. I do not run an intercooler, so all the fuel cools the air charge.With all the ballast it has in fluids, it weighs right at 2500lbs. I run almost 16 gallons of fuel and 13 gallons of water.

The secondaries turn on at 5300rpm. It has to be at certain perimeters for a few things, but it is based off rpm, load, knock, tps and speed. But generally around 16-20psi they turn on. The secondaries are activated by the ecu through a relay. These axles are the original 50 year old c-clip axles from GM. It is possible they are no longer straight. But there is no issues while I drive it. You cannot feel anything that would indicate there is a problem.

Maybe if things go well I can take Dsmlink like a few others have done and make myself a nasty little Miata.

 

You should swap a 4G63 into a Miata.

 

that i'd like to see.

 

It has certainly crossed my mind.

 

IIRC there is a 4G63 compatible bell-housing that will bolt up to a RX7 gearbox. Not sure of the specifics.

 

I would run the baby torqueflight 904 or another GM tranny. But I think the Miata engine would be a more interesting approach. I have built near 100 4G63's. I am ready for a change and a challenge. But, I have to get a chassis first before I can get serious.

 

I like the spirit of attempting BIG-power BP, but power/dollar ratio-wise it's a far from ideal platform.
The cost-benefit and fun to drive factors of lower-300 whp Miata builds makes a lot of sense.
Many have tried ALLOFIT 400+ whp builds, only to realize you're dealing with a vibration-cursed
truck engine designed ~3 decades ago.

4G63 + GM trans swap + dsmlink

profit

 

i bet it would make a lot more power if you removed that silly screen on the turbo.

 

There is two pieces of screen and a piece of chicken wire for support underneath that. It is there to keep the turbo from injesting debris. It is driven on the street. I never had a goal in mind, it would just be easier than doing another swap.

 

Hey biglady, I remember seeing your crazy builds over on the DSMLink forums. There are a decent amount of DSM to Miata converts here. Very interested in seeing what you turn out.

 

Shhhhhhhhhhhh.

 

I have always wanted to build a Miata powered track-nose 30s style roadster. I love seeing cars like this.
