JRCOZY Laser TX3 turbo build thread
Hi miata guys,
Im Carl from New Zealand and have been playing with BP powered cars for a few years, had a few mazda and ford, FWD and 4WD cars. At the moment I have a 1990 Ford laser TX3, basicly the same as a escort GT. Heres my build thread on a NZ mazda BP turbo forum. New Car build starts at bottom of page 1. AMAZD :: View topic - [JRCOZY] Rooster v2.0 It uses a 94 bignose TX3 block but has a 05 miata head and custom manifolds. Autronic SM4 runs it. Im only new to this site so cant post in the for sale or wanted yet. At the moment im after a 99+ crank pulley as my alloy one doesnt have a damper in it and I want to change from the exhaust CAS i have to the CPS type using the sensor and the crank pulley. Does anyone know if the sensors one bolt will mount to an early type oil pump or do i need the newer oil pump housing as well? Does anyone have these parts for sale? I hope to use this forum a lot more than the nz mazda one as its full of idiots who spam and dig at each others cars, its out of control. |
Wow things have come a long way since this post...
https://www.facebook.com/JrcozyLaserTx3 This is where we are at the present, 340KW at the wheels and a 11.7 1/4 mile. |
Nice car overall, but...
bolt-on wastegates are soooooooooo 2009. ;) EDIT: I paged thru your facebook photos to see the good stuff. I like! Slick intake manifold, holy shit brakes, etc. |
Yeah and if you look at the dates of the photos, it had a twin scroll manifold and twin "bolt on" gates in 2008 when It was at fabrication...
The car took me 4 years to complete to that standard and I have been showing it and racing for just over a year.. Thanks |
So I built a new intake plenum...

Final Night Speed Drag Wars, won the 2WD turbo class for the season.
Swapped to MT 26x10.5 tyres from M&H 25s, times dropped from 11.6 to 11.1s and even 11.3 on the brakes crossing the line at under 180kph. https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?...0716302&type=3 |
The following Sunday I ran at a Sponsors fun day, very good track to suit the 6 second cars etc.
Took passengers for 11 sec rides then turned it up and hit 10.99@216kph in the late afternoon. Dream of having a street legal 10 second FWD came true. https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?...0716302&type=3 |
