Any updates on the build?

 

What the what? Progress? No way!

Turbo Conversion With Garrett And TiAL Sport - 1997 Mazda MX-5 Miata Long-Term Road Test

 

AWWW YEAHHH!!

 

O Really?

 

I am excite!

Amirite??

 

Oh, so many questions. First - are you taking it off the street, or do you have a method to deal with inspections?

 

JKav - Two points of feedback:

1. Love the build.
2. Hate the new Edmunds. Old InsideLine was way better, even just visually.

 

That manifold looks strangely familiar. I like the waste gate placement a bit better then mine I think.

 

There was plenty if room for the wastegate in the back Lars, but you wanted equal length runners

 

oh snap, TIMMAH still building manifolds?

 

Nope that's not my manifold.

 

Yeah, I miss the look and feel of the old IL layout too. But such decisions are above my pay grade...

Also, moar info on the hardware in this here new post:

On a roll this week. BHJ Dynamics crank / harmonic damper with 36-1 trigger wheel.

Nice piece. This particular one shown is a prototype; the production versions have an aluminum hub and some cosmetic differences.

BHJ Dynamics Crankshaft Damper - 1997 Mazda MX-5 Miata Long-Term Road Test

 

That looks suspciously exactly like the 949 damper. I think we found his supplier. I have no complaints with mine. Kind of wish I knew about their super duper light weight looking one that costs like $200 more than I paid for mine.

 

was about to say the same thing

 

uhm,
it was known from the beginning that 949 damper is made from BHJ Dynamics.

 

Yup. From 949's website:

"The SuperMiata harmonic damper is designed and manufactured for us by BHJ Dynamics here in California."

 

with all those sexy engine pictures you expect us to read?

geez
