Interest iin 1.8 kit?
I am considering building my kit for production.. Do you think there would be a market for a lower cost 1.8 kit?
I am thinking somewhere in the range of 2000 - 2500 for a basic kit without engine management.. - Stainless Log Style Turbo Manifold - 16g Turbocharger - 38mm External Wastegate - Stainless Intercooler Piping - 18x6x2.5 Intercooler with Brackets - Stainless Downpipe with O2 Bungs - Braided Oil Supply Line and all Supply Fittings - Oil return components (flange, barb, gaskets, line, etc) - 4 ply Silicon Couplers and Clamps I could also offer a non intercooler kit for like 1800ish.. Thoughts? Comments? |
I bet you could sell some. Why the external gate though?
|
I like it if we get our 96 up and running i might try to hit U up on it. I considered askin about this months ago, but wasnt sure you where interested in miatas anymore.

External wastegate
I couldn't clock the outlet of the turbo in the direction I wanted to and keep the internal actuator.. I could possibly relocate the turbo on the manifold for a different placement.

I could def' offer you a discount on this stuff, to use your car for i/c piping mockup.. |
Over or under/around the radiator IC?
Have any pictures of an example mani? |
My current piping goes around/under..

Piping would of course be bent without welds

So you know of a company that will bend pipe to your specs I take it, or do you have this capability yourself? |
I would certainly be interested :)
can't be bothered to scrounge for loose parts to build a turbo setup, so I almost wished I had an 1.6 just so there would be a complete kit available.. |
Well even with welds it looks slick. Looks like you could get a pretty nice market for that. I mean it looks good to me.
|
well oscar then nesters offer is for you. I dont see a FMIC in my future but it is nice to know i have someone with DSM turbo experience around

What size 16G?

your intercooler piping is on the rag.

Example a big 16g retails for ~449, small 16g retails for ~545, and I think a 14b is about the same... |
I seem to recall the small 16G is about the same size as a T3S60, so it seems better suited than the EVO or big 16G which seems to be more efficient at higher boost on slightly bigger motors than we have.
|
Which is fine, they can have the small 16g, they just have to pay extra. :)
It used to be a different conversation, the small 16g used to be cheaper than the big.. so due to how close the compressors are, people would get the small to save a little money.. The difference between the two is like splitting hairs, but hey, I will sell anyone anything they want.. |
