K series Miata swap
#243
Our initial idea was using a -16 AN line, but the concern was that any soft line could potentially collapse on itself since oil is being sucked through it. The hard steel pickup will be safer, cheaper (eventually), and the material will mirror every OEM pickup we’ve seen.
We are not concerned with the pump priming, as nearly the entire pickup will be submerged in oil anyway.

So, ebay exhaust with random pieces off other cars, hacked up ebay header, and random 2.75" intake pipe I found in my garage with a crappy filter. Proper setup will breath MUCH better up top, as I can tell you from my other K car.
PS - I enjoy driving on track with your old blue hatch on occasion...

I have my old custom 3" exhaust that Jeremy put together for my setup you could use. Vibrant muffer, magnaflow (i think) resonator. If you didn't want its unique center exit format, would just be a bit of cut/weld to complete.
Cheap... and old Jabaay fabwork.

This is actually becoming pretty common. F20/22's are hard to come by, and the aftermarket isn't quite as vast for them.
Junkyard k24 setup in an s2000 with boost sounds like a winning combo to me. Cheap shortblocks for when it goez boom.
