How many miles on your turbo miata?
 
Whats up guys, im about to purchase a 00 miata with 115k miles, plan on turboing it, was wondering how reliable yalls miatas have been throughout the miles of your cars life....is 115k low enough to boost one up to around 200whp safely if everything is mechanically good?

I turbo'd my 99' at 145K. Like 148k now and it's kickin'. Just do a compression test. If it's all fine, the motor is fine. Mileage doesn't mean much.

I put 15k on my 1.6 setup, no problems and ran 15psi. Although i had rebuilt the motor and upgraded the rods.

I have 5 or 6k on my turbo set up. Of those, a few hundred are track miles.

First turbo setup went on the car at 500 miles and the engine has been perfect all the way to 21.5K when I pulled it to put in a built engine.

Car: 149,000 miles
Engine: ~ 85,000 miles
Engine Turbo Miles: ~ 23,000 miles

Most of my problems are megasquirt and tuning related, the car itself if a tank.

10,000 so far knock on wood.

mazspeed 02-07-2009 11:43 PM

Boosted mine @ 95,000 miles 15psi. Has 157,000 miles now. 62,000 boosted miles. Didn't have it properly tuned in the beginning. Its eating up half a quart of oil every 1500 miles.
